It was a very busy September 19th evening at the Leamington Arts Centre as all four galleries were buzzing with activity in celebration of the works from local artists.
Windsor’s Scott Livingstone’s acrylic abstracts are featured in the Cleveland-Cliffs Gallery until December 4. Livingstone’s paintings highlight a variety of architecture and machinery from around the world.
He described his inspiration for his art, “These are distilled environments. I visit a place, look at everything, and try to condense things down to an abstract image.” Included in his works are three pieces that are devoted to Leamington’s greenhouse industry.”
Upstairs at the LAC houses the work of Leamington’s Jeffrey Suchak until December 4. Suchak’s photographic images, many of which feature Wheatley Provincial Park, are meant to question our relationship with nature and how we can make positive changes for its benefit.
Essex’s Toni Wells’ exhibition Beyond, Above & Below fills the Southpoint Sun Gallery with acrylics and mixed media until October 9. Many of Wells’ pieces were inspired by her visits to local conservation areas during the pandemic and through her works attempts to “show the personality of the waters.”
A fourth exhibition curated by multidisciplinary artists Colleen Schindler and Grahame Lynch can be seen in the Art Alive! Gallery until October 9. Titled Stomping Grounds, the featured art is part of a regional juried exhibition that is held annually at the Leamington Arts Centre.
