Donated by the Artist

The artist John Hartman was raised on the southern and eastern shores of Georgian Bay which played an influencing role in the artist's visual narrative of the landscape. Hartman’s path of painting the intimate and intertwined relationship between people and place, took a turn in 2003 when he began to paint aerial views of cities as living organisms.

“There’s talent in everyone, so I think everyone should try and express themselves the best they can.”  - Jean Burke

Jean Gibson Burke, AOCA (b. June 20, 1927; d. March 14, 2014) was born, raised and spent much of her life in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Her lifelong passion for art developed early on in her life, and throughout elementary and high school, she was often the student who was given charge of creative projects. Knowing she wanted to be involved in the art world somehow, she attended art school and graduated with honours from the Ontario College of Art. Following that she worked for two years as a commercial artist with a packaging design firm in Toronto.

Graffiti Reframed
Get Photograffed
May 1 - 7th, 2014

Picture
This project was proudly supported by the following:
Graffiti Reframed Photographers
Alisha Beauchesne
Dana Chalifoux
Alissa Difumeri
Sarah Gaudette
Micheal McAdams
Seamus O’Flanagan
Tessa Rotermann

The Graffiti Reframed exhibition, ‘Get Photograffed’, was intended to begin a community conversation about graffiti – its role, purpose, genesis and where it is located in terms of creative expression and artistic practice. The exhibition provided a ‘first step’ in the dialogue by engaging youth in documenting existing graffiti and positioning it within a formal exhibition space that is typically reserved for art of a different nature. The show provided the opportunity to re/visit perspectives about graffiti as the community moves forward in investigating its role and impact in social and economic development.

VERNA[cu]L[ar]
March 27th, 2013 - April 29th, 2013

Picture
Darryl Hughto, Flow Blue, 1991, acrylic on linen, gift of Mr. Steven Sheather.
This special exhibition ushers in the Spring season at the AGA and brings together the works of three artists – Karin Doleske, Darryl Hughto and Tom Hodgson – in an exploration of the vernacular, the language, of painting. The vocabulary of marks, brushstrokes, and areas of addition and removal of material evoke natural forms and motions, blend the boundaries between abstraction and representation, and speak of the act of painting as well the creative process. Further, as we enjoy this vernal time of year, we are reminded of the fresh palette in the landscape around us and the cyclical pattern of the seasons, which often evokes the circular form. The colours and forms present in these works further remind us of the lengthening days and the metamorphosis around us.
