FROM PEPSI -COLA TODAY
By Art Elliott
A young Canadian 'airman on
an RCAF squadron in England
during World War II took up his.
brushes and
became actively
interested ere
t. to
s d in art as: a fas�cXnating
study and an antidote to the war-
time regimen. A few years later,
in war-torn Germany, a youth
whose father wanted him to'be` S
architect, became an apprentice
to a master in the arts and in-
terior design. ti •
Now..a quarter of ' a century
later, fate has brought the two to- -
gether, both full-fledged artists, -
in a two-man art show at,' the
Henn art gallery here. The show
opened Sunday afternoon and
continues,for the next two weeks.
The erstwhile airman, Ken
Hanson of Toronto, is becoming
increasingly well-known through
exhibitions and showings in many
Ontario centres as well as Toron-
to. He is showing more than .40
works in water color in combina-
tion with an almost equal number.
of works by. Guenter Heim of
Wingham. The latter's unique
studio and gallery here is becom-
ing an important showcase for
the work of Canadian artists.
More Shows Needed
Mr. Heim sees as a chronic lia-
bility for Canadian artists the
lack of suitable opportunities for
displaying their v%ork and is mak-
ing his studio -gallery available in
a co-operative way to artists of
merit whom he admires. He be-
lieves that all too frequently 'ar-
tists are discouraged by com-
mercial gallery operators who
reject work on the grounds it is
not "Commercial" or is unpopu-
lar and will not make the gallery
operator a lot of money in a
hurry. Other galleries charge ex-
cessive commissions for display-
ing such pieces and discourage
work which is unusual or has
merit of a kind not understood to
the operator.
Here, in the Heim gallery, a
more enlightened attitude from
the standpoint of the artist pre-
vails, the owner being an artist
himself, , familiar with the fru-
, trations that abound in getting
suitable presentations before the
public. The gallery' itself, separ-
ate from the Heim home and
,studio, was.recently built specifi-
. cally for the purpose and is de-
signed to present works of art to
,,{� beset advantage. (Special attention

Water color specialist Ken
Hanson of : the Weston section of
Greater Toronto, commenced his
career during. World War II when
he first took painting seriously.
After the warhe was employed as
a draftsman, and while he liked
the work well enough, felt he was
in*a rut and disliked being cooped
up in an office on a regular. basis..
He continued his painting, and
as it improved began to make a
name for himself in art shows in
Toronto and elsewhere in ', On.,'
tario. He is now paint4 `
time, and' has recently had .his;:
work shown in galleries and;
shows in Toronto, 'Stratford,
Gravenhursti ramptonand}.
elsewhere. About 40 works are
presently on display, here.
Mrs. Hanson, an elementary
'school teacher and secretary, .
happy with her husband's change
of vocation,' realizing that be is
more contented and ftrlfilltd, des-
pite the fact he now spends a :good;
deal of time on location, painting
his scenes j the Canadian
countryside, both winter , and
summer.
Guenter Heim,by cofnpar•ison,
is not a specialist, but an artist
who uses all available media to
achieve the work he hasVin. i'nind
Some of his pieces embody
several media, Borne in unortho-
dox combinations, with the
result as the all-im nt t ip
Heto porta
o, excels with water to ,'
but has an almost completely dif-
ferent ent
approach,as is readily
recognizable on iewi the wor
of the two artists tithe same
show.
Mr. Heim started out as an
apprentice to the master artist,
Ludwig Schulheiss, at Nurem-
burg in Germany and after three
years emigated to Canada. Here
he took farm work until he mas-
tered the language. He studied at
H. E. Beal Technical School in
London, was later employed as
an artist with the M. C. Broderick
Advertising Co. of London and
was art director for CKNX studio
here from 1962-70. Latterly he has
been operating a commercial
graphic arta business along with
his interior, 'designing :and cw"-
fintleS to occupy hiniself. with his
`first love, alt,
Mr.
Heim '
is.�,.
an instructor . for
the Georgian College of Applied
Arts, conducting extension
courses in the area.
At present the policy is to
exhibit only the work of profes-
sional or full-time artists, those
who make their living principally
from their painting or other art
work. Broadly, amateur work, is
now shown, but occasionally a
piece etf exceptional merit: must
be considered. •
Mr. an. d Mrs. Heim and Mr.
and&Mrs. Hanson will be greeting
visitors to the gallery for the next
two weeks, when the two-man
show will be open daily -until 6:00
