Martha
Eleen & David Holt, opens April 5 at Loop Gallery, Toronto
April 5 27 |
|
| Loop Gallery is pleased to announce
exhibitions of paintings by Loop members Martha Eleen entitled Midnight on the Water and
David Holt entitled Archaeology, Natural History and other Paintings. The exhibitions will be on display from April 5
27 and a reception will be held on Saturday, April 5 from 2 to 5 p.m. Loop Gallery
is located at 1174 Queen Street West, one block east of Gladstone.

Martha Eleen's Midnight on the Water was
produced in residence at Klondike Institute for Art and Culture (KIAC), Dawson City,
Yukon, in June and July 2007. The series of 40 paintings are intended to function as an
installation that recreates the experience of being in the North in the particular light
of the midnight sun. They are an investigation into interference patterns, which are
caused by natural and artificial events. Constructive interference is caused by winds,
tides, currents, eddies, undertow and silt as well as man-made objects and energy. The
river goes up and down as ice melts and the speed varies. At Dawson City, the faster, more
turbulent, Klondike River empties into the Yukon and runs alongside, blue and brown,
before mixing downriver. Water is constantly changing, it's unpredictable patterns obeying
random laws and in the case of the Yukon River, moving relentlessly in one direction,
oddly, towards the north.

David Holt's recent paintings are part of an
ongoing series involving subjects from archaeology and natural history. These painterly
works evoke the arrangements of specimens and objects found in museum display cases and
botanical garden conservatories. The compositions contain motifs derived from plants,
birds, fossils and fragments of ancient vessels and sculpture. Many of the paintings were
completed in the Netherlands last year, and were inspired by collections in the Naturalis,
Hortus Botanicus and the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden.*
