FIVE CANADIAN ARTISTS features work by some of the most important artists in the country. Master printmaker Stu Oxley and Mixed Media marvel Cheryl Ruddock, join forces with abstractionist Paul Kuhn, as well as Order of Canada and Governor General Award recipients Tony Urquhart and Wanda Koop.

FIVE CANADIAN ARTISTS celebrates colour, and the artists that are able to really make them pop. Intense and subtle hues are masterly manipulated pushing the boundaries of texture and the vulnerabilities of space. The exploration of landscapes, the human experience, combined with organic materials and themes take on a life of their own while capturing the viewers imagination in every way.

It is rare to see artists of this caliber in one space at the same time.

Opens Friday, October 23, 7-10pm

Ryan Price is an artist working out of Guelph Ontario. He moved to the city in 1991 after graduating from the technical arts program at BealArt in London. His focus for the most part has been in printmaking, specifically in the areas of drypoint and monotype. His works in these mediums have won several awards and have been viewed and collected fairly extensively. Over the past few years, while maintaining his printmaking practice, Ryan has begun to branch into other mediums and fields. In 2006 he had published his first illustrated book, an interpretive version of Edgar Allan Poe’s The “Raven”.

Max Wright is a Canadian artist, born in Mississauga, Ontario in 1979, and who is currently based in both Montreal and Toronto. He completed his BFA at Queen’s University in 2002, and has since developed and exhibited his work professionally, focusing his practice primarily on photo-based mixed media, and branching recently into stand-alone photographic projects. Max’s work is held in private collections internationally.
