Opening Reception: Thursday June 9, 2005 – 7:00 pm
Artists: Jordi Alfaro – Cameron Armstrong – Arnold Zageris

Three artists currently in the northern region, respond to the natural and internal landscape, through sculpture, painting and photography.

Jordi Alfaro – Sculpture Responding to the landscape of his homeland, Spain and now that of Northern Ontario, Jordi Alfaro, works with clay to create forms that evoke a primal response. His ceramic sculpture references landform but also that of body and internal organs, eliciting a reading that is both inquisitive and humorous.

Cameron Armstrong – Painting * To Cameron Armstrong, painting is the activation and investigation of the relations of perceptual forms in which the strange authorities that lie within an image are unlocked to a multiplicity of reference points. In this the viewer becomes part of the process, involved by their own response to the fluid and layered images within the work.

Arnold Zageris – Photography * Arnold Zageris’ visual impression of the world is perceived as a continuous mix of complexities, order and disorder. As an artist he looks to discover the underlying rhythms concealed in hidden forms and elusive colour. Zageris is committed to seek the environment and light that inspires the imagination, traveling as far as Labrador for the images included in this exhibition.
