"Neo -Realise paintings.
Kim was born in Toronto in
1.48, graduated from Havergal
Coliege, and attended the
Ontario College of Art for one
year before transferring to Fine
Arts at McGill 'University, in
1949. At McGill', Kim -relates,
she was expelled from drawing
classes conducted by artist John
Lyman, for objecting when he
drew over - her work, and so,
completed her Bachelor of Arts
in , Honours English. • instead of
Fine Arts, . •• . .
• " From McGill, she went on to
take her M.A, in English at
Queen's, and in the following
five years taught English at
Queen's, Waterloo Lutheran, and
Sherbrooke Universitites.
During thi time she worked
ase.vained,,ito,Qu
editor olythe "Northern
Rew,
', and other
literary - journals, edited
manuscripts ' for her
poet -husband, and was deeply
involved with the 'probing
creative attitudes of university
life — and the raising of a yaung
family.
KIK-began- , rediStblierher
artistic talent in 1966 while
living in Kingston. She plunged
into being an artist
whole-heartedly — rented a
'studio — gave up teaching and
from the beginning set a definite
wark schedule from 9:30 a.m. to
3:30 p.m., five days a 'week, in
her studio.
As a late starter in fine art,
Kim admits she was frustrated in
her early attempts to express her
ideas by her lack of ' formal
artistic training. Butthis did not
deter her. She knew what she
wanted to say and was
determined to develop the
technical skills to °express her
ideas fluently.
Her work began to evolve into
a new maturity when she moved
to the literary and intellectual
«artistic atmosphere of London,
Ontario/in 1968. She produced a
series of haunting interior
studies' of her '• home 'an
"Picadilly Street" and was given__
a one-man show at Western
University iii -tile -NlacIntoSri
Gallery, in the spring of 1969,
which was subsequently shown
at the Jerrold Morris Gallery in
Toronto.
The Picadilly Series consist of
large acrylic paintings•on canvas
of strangely empty rooms in a
middle-class family home, tilled
with unpretentious, chintzy,
Canadiana furnishings. The
works are deliberately cool,
low-keyed, and non-aggressive, in
colour, • evoking a subtle
itinosphe're of silence: The
over -life size, interior vistas seem
to invite the viewer to enter the
roams and share the artist's
.experience.
Unlike the trompel'oeii
;paintings., of .17th century
EurOPe, painted to celebrate the
emerging lavishness of upper
middle-class life, Kim's ' works
"'press a disenchantment with
our 20th century middle-class
preoccupation With acquiring

and Tea May 15.
MrS,Wilmer Rutledge read the
treasurer's report which showed
a balance on hand of $88.97.
Final plans were made for the
salad supper May 26.
A community 'shower will be
held in the Church May 31 for
Miss Nancy Taylor who is to be
married June 5. A committee to
plan a .prograM'Iflil include Mrs.
Clement; Mrs. Charles Johnst n
and Mrs. George Sillib.
Mrs. Wilmer Rutledge
reported that Arnold Stothers
would pipe water to the, Church
for $100 and cost of water per
year would be $5.
A bus trip` to, Palmerston
Hospital is scheduled for
September 16.
The meeting-- closed with the

A trip to Puerto Rico at 13
made a lasting impression in her
mind of the apathy of our
society towards the unfair
extremes between poverty and
wealth many parts of the
world; arid the sudden and

adults close to her in recent
years, made her acutely aware of

KIM ONDAATJE'S COMMENTS CONCERNING THIS PAINTING. (staff photo) -
people pause, and feel, and
reflect.
For 'Kim, at each stage in her
development, certain works have
been subconscious transitional
"Kdys" to a new theme or. a new
technique. Each stage has built
towards the next; for instance,
the "Hill" paintings of an early
series .produced in Kingston, are
hung in ,,the "Hall" and
"Livingroom" of the "louse on
„Lana
painting in this series is
"'Furnace", ' a , looming
Mechanical monster -in tones of
white, beige, and grey, which
uncannily predicts her current
theme of the Va,ctory". • ..
After completing the Picadilly
paintings, Kim became
interested in translating the
theme into "smallf editions of
silkscreen prints (or serigraphs).
In the fall of '69 she approached,
a London signmaker for
instruction', and with the help of
his craftsmen began to plan her
serigraph series. Each silkscreen
print is based on a major,
' painting ,of the Picadilly series,
with the compositions slightly
changed to suit the smaller area.
The quiet simplicity of the.
prints is deceptive one print
may involve un to 17 overlays of
surrounded by a haze of smoke °
and dust.
At. the same time, she was,.
both repelled by its, dapgerous
aspects of pollution, ' and
attracted to its monumental,
mysterious, quality. In recent'
months, four factory paintings
have been completed and. a fifth
.
is in progress. The paintings are
evolved from black and white or
colour and texture to achieve colour , photos ,, taken At the ,

intention. --Press-- .
Here new theme of the
"Factory" was -started by a
chance visit to a cement factory
in Picton, which had covered the
whole neighborhood with a' fine
white dust. To her the factory.
seemed an almost obsolete
monument to our rapidly
passing indu4rial age,
-frightening and beautiful,
drawn, in pencil on the canvas,
and "constructed" with tape.
•Finally both the taped and
Untaped areas are painted. °
A preliminary show of this
series was held at the Macintosh
Gallery in London in January
1971, arid the inpleted series
will open at the London Public
' Library and Art Gallery in
January •'72 and go on tour
through' oShaWa; Kingston, and
