LINDA WALTON - COURTENAY

Linda Walton
Imagination in Translation

Saturday October 3rd
2pm – 3pm
Admission is free or by donation

Linda Walton is exhibiting at CVAG as part of a group show titled “Shell of the Earth”, which examines our natural environment in a variety of media. Walton’s body of work consists of ceramics, photography and textiles that address the recent desiccation of Barnesl Lake (home of the western painted turtle and the spade foot toad, both blue listed animals) in the Kamloops area.

In this talk with accompanying images, Walton will speak about how imagination functions in her work and how ideas can be communicated in many media. She will discuss the content, the choices she made, and why mistakes are important. She will also speak about visual texture, as it is important to this particular body of work; composition – leading the viewer to the heart of the piece; feedback – when it is helpful and intention – the exploration, clarification and communication of her work.

Linda Walton was born in the South of England and holds an art degree from the Berkshire College of Art followed by an Art Teaching Diploma from the Leicester University, specializing in Painting and Ceramics. She came to BC in 1974, and taught Fine Arts at Thompson Rivers University for 30 years, moving to Black Creek in 2005. Her ceramics have been exhibited in England, San Francisco, Chicago, Sydney, Australia and Canada.

Behind the Scenes - Visual Effects
Bénard will talk about how he and his students at Lost Boys Learning created a whimsical montage of animated chrome balls that traverse through recognizable locations around the Comox Valley. See how 3D modeling and animation, combined with scenes shot on a Nikon D90, can create a short visual effects film.

PETER HRISTOFF - ISTANBUL

In the Garden

C.A.M Gallery will present “Bahçede” the recent works of Peter Hristoff, opening September 29th, and running through November 5th 2009. In this body of work (paintings, works on paper and rugs), the artist explores the theme of the expulsion from paradise and all of the implications of that particular narrative. Loosely based on Masaccio’s classic fresco in Florence’s Brancacci Chapel, the artist works with models who theatrically recreate the story of Adam and Eve. Drawings and photographs are used as reference to paint and screen print images that are carefully layered with intense colors to create iconic depictions of the repercussions of temptation. The artist uses the familiar tale to express not only his interest in references art historical and biblical but to also comment on the pathos of human experience as well as its beauty. Themes of duality are of recurrent examination – oriental and occidental, erotic and ascetic, vice and virtue being some of the issues that Hristoff has addressed. Identity, sexuality, the psychology of desire and of guilt, current events, as well as the artist’s interpretation of "contemporary orientalism" and Ottoman bahnames run through the work being exhibited. Hristoff will be simultaneously showing 12 pieces from an on-going series entitled "Everything and Nothing" at the Pera Museum in "Octet: Selected Works from the School of Visual Arts, New York."
