The Hissing Folly by Cole SwansonThe Hissing Folly looks at Durham Region’s ecological landscape and poses critical questions around human relationships with invasive species, specifically phragmites (European common reed). Phragmites is a perennial grass that spreads quickly and out-competes native species for water and nutrients. Using the centuries-long tradition of thatching, the resulting construct is a folly; designed primarily for decoration, while suggesting a greater purpose through its appearance.Please visit our website before you come to see us learn more about what protocols and guidelines we are asking our visitors to follow in order to keep everyone safe and comfortable.https://www.vac.ca/coleswanson.html |

James McKeag: Landscapes, Small and LargeScugog Arts presents James McKeag, an acrylic and oil painter whose landscapes capture the beauty of Port Perry and its surrounding area. McKeag draws inspiration from artists Edward Hopper, Manly MacDonald, and Jackson Pollock. He utilizes two techniques in his landscape work; using vibrant colour, with a focus on light and atmosphere, and ‘Dripscapes’, a term coined by James, offer a more contemporary approach to landscapes. To see more of James McKeag’s inspirational work visit Scugog Arts Space at 175B Queen St, Port Perry, September 12 to October 4, 2020. |
