LAGOM | UNRAVELING

NOVEMBER 4 - 26, 2023

Pinkwater Gallery presented a joint exhibition featuring collaborative sculptural works by Benedicte + Jerome Leclere of L’Impatience with Kat Howard alongside an array of new works by Helena Palazzi.

With this show, we brought together some powerhouses on the Kingston art scene, all of whom happen to run their own creative businesses as well. It shows a special kind of focus and fortitude to run a business along with sustaining the passion needed to make consistently compelling fine art. Each of these Kingston-based creatives has managed to tackle this illusive challenge, to mesmerizing effect

MAPPING THE ABSTRACT

Pinkwater Gallery presented work found in its first open call, a process that yielded submissions from across the spectrum of possibilities in abstraction. The artworks chosen for this exhibition encompassed a wide range of styles, techniques, and inspirations, from vibrant bursts of color to intricate geometries and fluid forms.

THE SHAPE OF PLAY

With this show, Pinkwater Gallery presented the work of MIMI YOUNG, a multi-disciplinary artist who revels in the “chaos of making mistakes”, liberally applying the beauty of pentimento (previous layers) in achieving the final result.

As an artist-run gallery, we can more than appreciate her approach.

ENCHANTED

Inspired by the Scandinavian folklore tales and ballads that artist and photographer Helena Palazzi grew up reading and hearing as a child, ENCHANTED invited viewers into a secret world built upon legend and peopled by mysterious faeries, elves and other creatures illuminated by the northern lights.

MONOTYPE MODERN

A survey of work created by three artists working with the technique known as monotype printmaking, which involves the transfer of ink from plate to paper. Employing a printing press, the artist is able to produce a unique print that includes a distinctive impression from the plate used to transfer the color and imprint the texture. This show from June 2020 focused on how these artists translate their expressions as modern works of art.

YEAR ONE

The inaugural show, full title How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Climate Change, debuted in September 2019 and featured works from the climate change series created by artist Anne Sanger in response to the environmental crisis.
