BLYTH FESTIVAL SALUTE, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28/29, 2006. PAGE 21.
Different
perspectives
Blyth Festival Art Gallery hosts work of 3 more
outstanding artists for 2006 season featuring
abstracts, ceramics and landscapes
By Keith Roulston
Citizen staff
One of the bonuses of visiting the
Blyth Festival each summer is the
opportunity to view the work of
some of Ontario's top visual artists
before the performance or during
intermission.
The Blyth Festival Art Gallery
committee has planned three
professional exhibits in the Bainton
Gallery for its 31st anniversary
season. The selection committee
toured studios across the province to
seek out outstanding work to display
for Festival patrons and those who
choose to visit the gallery any time
the Festival box office is open.
The first exhibit of the season
kicks off with an opening reception
on June 29 at 5 p.m., shortly before
the Festival's opening night dinner.
Featured will be the work of Cathy
Van Raay-Myers of Chatham. Van
Raay-Myers creates large abstracts
in mixed media, in this case collage
and charcoal.
The exhibition is in two parts. The
first features works using a progress
from chaos to control, created by
layers of geometric figures. The
second part of the exhibition is a
visual commentary on the layers of
information that she experienced
when government officials stepped
in to deal with an infestation of
emerald ash borer in trees near her
home.
Van Raay-Myers has a bachelor of
fine arts from the University of
Windsor.
The exhibition continues until July
19.
The second exhibition offers
something completely different in
the ceramic figures of Zsu Zsa
Monostory. Monostory came to
Canada from Hungary as a research
biologist. Her first ceramic pieces
were actually of interesting insects.
Today she sculpts figures, up to a
half-metre in height, that have an
almost cartoon-like quality mindful
of harlequin figures or Commedia
Dell'Arte with a hint of the oriental.
The figures often seem to be in
conversation with each other.
Other pieces in the exhibition
include decorative plates or bowls.
The show opens July 21 with a
reception at 6 p.m. and continues
until Aug. 9.
An exhibition by Elora-area artist
Tim Merton is the final gallery
showing of the summer.
Called "At -First Light" the large,
realistic landscapes in oil show
Merton's fascination with the play of
light in wooded areas near his home.
Merton is a scenery painter kept
busy in the television and film
industries. His work was seen by the
gallery committee during the Elora-
area studio tour last year.
The exhibition opens with a
reception at 6 p.m. on Aug. 11 and
continues until Sept. 7.
Best Wishes Blyth Festival .
on your 32nd Season!
