Revivalesque now on at centre

Luke Painter is coming to the Minarovich Gallery of The Elora Centre for the Arts for an exhibition of large scale drawings of land­scapes and architecture.

 

It is an ornamental collec­tion. The exhibition in­cludes a selection of animated works. The viewer is drawn into structures that are visually and intellectually engaging.

Natural and built structures are consistently interconnected throughout the work. Trees become buildings, or a swath of clear cut marks out a building’s source; yet the buildings are uncannily tree like.

Painter’s animation works examine the architectural trans­formation of cities over time. Based on neighbourhoods of Montreal and Toronto, the works integrate historic and lost elements into the modern city­scape.

Revivalesque, investigates how culture returns to past eras for re-invigoration and new possibilities. Gallery hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and weekends 1 to 3:30pm.
