Our annual Jack Ross show is underway but it's only here in it's entirety until September 13th, so please try to drop by the gallery and see it in person if you live close by. It's worth the trip! Of course the full show is ONLINE HERE, but it's nothing quite like seeing art in person. Jack has worked hard on this latest body of acrylic paintings, that takes the viewer on walk through Halifax through his eyes.
A walk along the Halifax waterfront is a sight to behold- Jack has captured it beautifully! |
He captures moments in time- of dancers on the waterfront, the neon glow of signs along our streets, quiet moments at our parks and waterways and somehow even makes some of the most mundane scenes look magical.
The city is changing rapidly still, with old buildings coming down faster than you can count and new builds are underway.
Thankfully we have local artists that are capturing some of these spaces but Jack manages to also capture the way these environments make us feel and brings the personality of place to our attention.
Take a moment the next time you go for a walk to really appreciate your surroundings. Look up too...the tops of buildings, the sky above- we are so lucky we can enjoy these freedoms and simple pleasures.
MAKE SURE TO SUPPORT EMERGING ARTISTS AND SMALL BUSINESS. ALL IT TAKES IS A QUICK FOLLOW, SHARE, VISIT, SIGN UP FOR A WORKSHOP WITH JACK ROSS OR OTHERS TOO...DETAILS HERE...., AN ARTWALK....have a great week folks!
