We'd love to invite you to tomorrow night's opening of SEA LEVEL - Friday June 10th, 7-9PM - a show of new works by artist Katharine Burns that explore and celebrate what it means to live by the ocean. Born in Halifax, Katharine studied at NSCAD University, graduating in 2009 with her BFA.
The subject of Katherine's work has varied but she has a style that is distinctly
her own. Inspired by her surroundings she approaches her work
in a painterly, yet sophisticated manner. Her work can be found in various private
collections across Canada.
Katharine talks about her work in her own words:
Having lived in Nova Scotia most of my
life, the ocean has always been a source of inspiration and is deeply personal
to me. In creating these works I intend
to not simply capture an image with paint; rather, through colour, texture and
composition to communicate a sense of a moment in time, an experience, a
memory. I have not painted an object in
a landscape; instead, I seek to create a sense of space in a landscape by
playing with the almost spiritual relationship between sea and sky, to calm
those powerful natural forces into a feeling.
Katharine
truly captures the ebb and flow of the sea. SEA LEVEL evokes those powerful feelings of being by the ocean that you can appreciate whether you're a local, or just visiting Nova Scotia and our coastlines.
The show is hung and ready for you to feast your eyes upon it! We look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening to celebrate Katharine and her beautiful work! Here are a couple of sneak peaks to tide you over until then...
