Georgian Bay Primordial – Harmony in Nature

Solo art installation and curated group exhibit by regional artist Sue A. Miller

Exhibiting at the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts, 163 Hurontario Street, Collingwood ON.

March 2^nd to April 14

Opening reception, Friday March 4^th, 4pm – 7pm

Sue A. Miller has been a practicing professional artist in the Georgian Triangle area for more than twenty years. She lives in Wasaga Beach and  has a large studio on the main street of Creemore above a coffee shop, the Mill Street Art Studio. In the past she has also shared studio space at the Fishbowl and Tremont Studios. Sue is best known for her atmospheric water/landscapes of Georgian Bay and Atlantic shorelines. This installation is a new project that has been percolating for three years and is relevant to the fragile biosphere of not only Georgian Bay but all shorelines and bodies of water. 

This project is an “immersive” installation exploring Georgian Bay undisturbed by humans, a habitat in its most pure form. The installation will consist of large scale oil paintings, a large three dimensional suspended sculpture, a large free standing sculpture and audio recordings of shoreline wildlife which will tie in the immersive experience for the audience. The subject matter explores unspoiled shorelines, in a variety of seasons and perspectives, without focus on “iconic” Georgian Bay scenes, but rather the “overlooked” uncommon view. The three dimensional work is created from natural detritus collected from around the Bay. The overall appearance and experience of this installation will reflect the “essence” and spirit of a primal Georgian Bay shoreline. 

To compliment the installation, I have curated a group show, including 16 professional artists whose work is new to Collingwood and relevant to the concept of the exhibition.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday

Well as the year winds down I want to take a moment to thank everyone for your amazing support this past year, I am so very grateful for your friendship and wish you all the Merriest of Holidays.

2014 has been so very exciting, I have met so many wonderful new friends and had so many fabulous experiences. Thank you everyone for making this a great year.

The year started in Europe with Human Rights - Migrantes, curated by Roberto Ronca in Rovereto, Italy and in winning "The Visual Art's Golden Eagle Trophy Award" as well, an "Award of Honour" in the Group Exhibition: Int. Exhibition of the Art of Peace and Visual Contemporary, Salerno, Italy. 2014 | HUMAN RIGHTS?'#MEMENTO – FROM WAR TO PEACE, in Roverto Italy was an amazing experience as always and I was so grateful in being included in the TOP TEN, 2014  ArtROM - WOMEN IN THE ARTS Edition 4 (Italy).

In Canada, the year started with a solo exhibition Reconstruction Reality at the Georgina Art Gallery and Centre, in Georgina. Winning The Curry's Art Award (Honourable Mention) at ‘Drawing 2014’ John B. Aird Gallery, Toronto: Jurors: Ed Pien and curator, Dale Barrett was a huge highlight.  Following that,  an exhibition with my good friend Mary Cellucci, Drawing and Painting! Questioning the Traditional at the Double Doors Studio and Gallery, Anten Mills curated by Billi Dawn. Zoomed down to Toronto to be included in an Abstract Group Exhibition at the amazing space of Art World Fine Art to show with the amazing artist Katja Van Eden, in Toronto curated by Donna Child. Another  highlight was exhibiting at The Front Room Gallery, in Barrie, Ontario - Solo show, The Creation of Visual Syntax, curated by Sarah Elizebeth Leonard - Here is a link to video of the exhibition. if you want a peek. New sculptural work where introduced alongside a 72" x 15' painted piece, Sarah curated the work so it filled the space with an amazing presence, it was outstanding, many, many thanks to the Team at TFR. Exhibiting at The Bartlett Gallery in Alton Mills always touches my heart, the space is one that we only dream after and Teresa Brownell and Lynda Clare are two of my most favourite people...Evolution was a three person exhibition. Next up was an exhibition with friends in the quaint Village of Cookstown at my good friend Ruth Draper's Gallery. There were so many more... Participated to bring awareness during World AIDs Day, an exhibition at the Front Room Gallery called Getting to Zero, organized by Aylan Couchie and curated by Sarah Elizebeth Leonard, was a wonderful success, as well, my most loved MacLaren Art Off the Hook Auction...which I couldn't get to because of freezing rain. New friends where made through participating in stimulus response, Gallery De Goede, Toronto.

I am honoured and appreciative of all the opportunities this last year, it truly was an amazing year. Check out the full list on my CV.

Looking forward, I am so exciting to share I will be exhibiting at the Aurora Cultural Centre  February to April, so if I don't catch up with you before then, I would be great to see you then.

Wishing you all a safe and happy Holiday Season.
Seasons Greetings.

Jeanette

The Creation of Visual Syntax - Solo Exhibition

I would like to thank the amazing Sarah Elizabeth Leonard, artist/curator of The Front Room Gallery, Barrie Ontario for taking the time to not only understand my crazed journey but as well shed some light through her insights. I feel it an honoured and am so appreciative to have worked with Sarah over these last 6 months towards the exhibition she has titled 'The Creation of Visual Syntax", opening September 11, 7 pm. 

The Front Room Gallery

118 Dunlop st e 

Barrie, Ontario

September 7th to October 7th, 2014

"Trust that which gives you meaning and accept it as your guide." Carl Gustav Jung

The work collectively describes what one could call visual syntax- the arrangement of parts into visual sentences that decode the relationship of their component parts. Jeanette Luchese's work comes from the development of ruminations of her unconscious, built upon the notion of simultaneously living in the inner and outer existence. It is this idea of the creation of a visual language for perceiving duality as a unified whole that drives this exhibition.

Luchese's work tickles notions of the past with art historical reference in her imagery, but is possibly the accumulation and transformation of the language that came before her, coded in her brain, mediated by creative expression. Much of the work in this exhibition plays with the human beings natural blind spot, the place in out physical vision where we simply do not see, our brain describes what it perceives to be the rest of the information. Jeanette's work aims to be the language to fill in the blanks, ultimately building new blind spots to which new syntax is accrued.

-Sarah Elizabeth Leonard, Curator

Thank you Sarah Elizebeth Leonard, Michael Taylor and Aylan Couchie... for being part of my journey, your support and the invitation to exhibition with you at your amazingly fresh gallery space.

Previous post.....

The last few months have been a very exciting time and I thank all of you for your support. The exhibition in Georgina, Sutton - Reconstructing Reality was a wonderful opportunity as solo shows are, and an amazing success. As was the two person exhibition in Barrie, Ontario at the Double Doors Gallery - Painting? Drawing? with my good friend Mary Cellucci. I am so grateful to all that attended and the wonderful opportunities it has brought. 

Now even more great news. So very excited and honoured to share with you I am participating in the group exhibition Human Rights? Memento, curated by Roberto Ronca. 

This wonderful exhibition gave me an opportunity to celebrate a bit of family history. A long story, short...my mother met my father a Italian-Canadian while he was serving in Italy during the war. He fell madly in love and vowed to come back after the war and marry her, which he did. So seeing a morsel of good within all that was very, very bad, if it was not for the war, I wouldn't be here today. 

If you are in Rovereto, Italy I do hope you can make it out to this amazing exhibition.

Reconstructing Reality
... the mindful musings of Jeanette Luchese
Curated by Ewa Chwojko

Life is in constant motion we move one step at a time forward trusting choices, believing we are on the right path, but things may not be as they seem. Noting the deception within perceptions makes me wonder: What if I could rewrite a specific moment in time… what then would my reality look like?

These mindful-musings lead to a new body of work aptly named: “Reconstructing Reality”

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.

7 is a great event that attracts the attention of the artist and the viewer to interpret the complexity with current pictures, outside of classical iconography, an ancient thought. The 7 Deadly Sins can be a stimulus to the free interpretation. And it is precisely in the actuality of vision of contemporary artists you can find the true essence of sin today. Seven is an exhibition that addresses each of the 7 deadly sins, one by one. Every sin is gutted, observed, fixed, remembered.
