Gallery 78 is pleased to present two new exhibitions from May 3 – 25. They are opening Friday, May 3rd from 5-7 pm. Meet the artists and see their works in person for the first time!
Stephen May’s“By George!” features artworks that were made from the pastels that belonged to his late friend, George Strunz. Winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award and described by Molly Lamb Bobak as a painter of great taste and quality, his newest body of work is an exceptional collection of landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. Discover these outstanding creations of one of New Brunswick’s most revered artists.
Nova Scotia artist Matthew Collins’ “The Organic Process” is an exhibition of his latest landscapes, from blue-skied beaches to ponds in forest groves. In his words, “I love the raw, ever changing natural beauty surrounding me and often find myself returning to the same spots time and again. However, the way the painting is executed holds more value to me than the subject.” Using his classic style of thick application of paint on the canvas, this show is a visual delight in every sense of the word!
We look forward to your visit! The works will be available online Tuesday, April 30, at https://gallery78.com.
Open: Tues to Fri 10am-5pm, Sat 10am-3pm or visit virtually at: www.gallery78.com
