Drawing 2014
John B. Aird Gallery: February 4 - 28, 2014
For this 15th annual juried drawing exhibition, 72 artists submitted 137 drawings for consideration by two jurors. A variety of drawing styles, media and techniques reflecting a full spectrum of ideas about drawing were represented.
The two jurors who selected the 33 works in the exhibition were Ed Pien and Dale Barrett. Ed Pien is one of Canada’s foremost contemporary artists. His drawings, paper cut-outs and installations are exhibited nationally and internationally. Dale Barrett has served as Director of the John B. Aird Gallery since 1998. He has been curating and coordinating exhibitions in the Public Art Gallery sector for over 30 years.
The tone of this annual juried exhibition changes every year. No single theme or trait is ever dominant. Over the years, visitors have often commented that what they love about this exhibition is that it celebrates the diversity and vitality of drawing, showcasing a range of processes, styles, materials and conceptual approaches. As jurors, Ed and Dale were receptive to works that negotiate the boundaries of what
constitutes drawing, and they hope their choices further discussion and enjoyment of this vital and engaging artistic practice.
The following artists’ works have been selected for the exhibition: Angela Aitken, Ivo Arnaudov, Susan Avishai, Jim Balzan, Pat Bond, Amanda Burk, Linda Chen, Nomi Drory, Erin Finley, Heidrun Gabel-Koepff, Phyllis Gordon, Jacquie Green, Toni Hamel,
Jessica Hein, Brynn Higgins-Stirup, Jennifer Hinrichs, Lumir Hladik, Mary Kainer, Pegi Kosa, Jeanette Luchese, Gavin MacDougall, Robert Quance, Lauren Satok, Tai Selbach, Winnie Truong, Olex Wlasenko, David Woodward.
