September at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery: Julie Oakes and Paul Mathieu

Opening Reception: Sunday, September 20

 

Join us this Sunday to celebrate the opening of our fall exhibitions. Julie Oakes will present an Artist Talk at 1:30pm followed by the Opening Reception at 2:30pm. Members receive 20% off in the Shop all day.

 

 

 

Following her hugely successful Swounds exhibition in 2012, Julie Oakes returns to the Gallery with her new exhibition of sculptures and installations, Awestruck Calendar of Ecology.
Her work explores themes of spirituality found in nature while
addressing ecological concerns about the sustainability of the planet.

 

Awestruck Calendar of Ecology is made possible in part by a contribution from the The Kitchener and Waterloo Community Foundation – The Musagetes Fund.

In Flower Vases with Flowers in a Vase,
Paul Mathieu has created multiples of Matisse’s 1927 sculpture head
“Henriette.” Here, he flips the heads over and repurposes them as vases
onto which he creates various reproductions of famous still-life
paintings of ceramic vases with a bouquet of flowers.
