BLANK CANVAS COLLABORATION PROJECT

VANCOUVER PAINTINGS

July 10 - Aug 13 2006 at the Seymour Art Gallery

The premier exhibition for the Blank Canvas Collaboration Project took place at the Seymour Art Gallery in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada July 10-August 13, 2006

An intense two week working period produced these canvasses. They were painted in the gallery setting with the public being invited to observe. We began with the five artists starting one canvas each. Each canvas was worked on by all of the artists. There was no set theme, though all of the canvasses  developed a story quite naturally. The process is so dynamic and challenging that it takes some time to learn how to work in such a spontaneous environment. A full range of emotions were captured, the extremes being complete harmony to complete conflict. All of these moments were interesting and rewarding. A very beautiful process indeed.
