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.
