I visited several museums happily while it rained almost every day.The highlight was the Kroller-Mueller museum in Arnhem, which is surrounded by a magnificent sculpture park within a preserved natural environment. Free bicycles are available for cycling around the grounds.The Cobra museum in Amstelveen was great, with its contemporary building featuring works by post-war artists from the Cobra group founded by Dutch artist Karel Appel.The long line-up to see the Van Gogh/Gauguin show was well worth the wait. By chance my cousins and I came across some Canadian artists in Amsterdam and Den Haag, notably the stunning glass works by artist Brian Hall, who was mentioned in the last issue of Galleries West.”

Ready to resonate with the next delightful thought or curious insight. That’s the way Fafard interacts with the world… one bemusing discovery to the next. One of Canada’s most beloved and successful artists, Fafard is in a comfortable place. He turned 60 on September 2. His work is in demand and is admired in collections and exhibitions across Canada and internationally. He lives on a 72acre property just outside Regina, Saskatchewan, where he built an 84' x 44' studio. He employs his nephew to run his foundry, Julienne Atelier Inc., which is devoted to the production of his own bronze sculptures.

knowingly, sure of their own beauty, engaged in silent communication with the humans in their midst. The smaller ones flirt, proud of their form, drawing each human into their small circle of light. In his notes, Fafard ponders questions of scale. “Does a work become more powerful with an increase in size? Less intimate? Is a sculpture sensed with a different part of our body depending on its size?” It would seem so. Small objects are more private, he suggests. Larger works share space with the viewer. “It seems that an additional sensing apparatus comes into play… we feel a presence

Return of the Figure BY PATRICIA ROBERTSON

he figure is in the foreground of the art world again— from an increase in commissioned portraits to cheeky young painters like New York’s Cecily Brown whose randy rabbit images were featured in the June issue of Artnews. The return of the figure seems inevitable as artists and collectors shift from the status quo. What was once so radical, abstract art, has become the standard, commonplace. Alberta artists are embracing the figure with great enthusiasm —some of them have never left the representational camp and are pleased to see a renewed interest in their work. I spoke to four of them about their recent projects, their love of the figure, and the reason behind their choice of subject matter. Calgary artist Bev Tosh greets me with the unabashed enthusiasm of someone who has been painting alone all week. We stand for hours in front of her latest work and talk animatedly about art, obsession and history. “You studied in a period when representational art was in decline…why did you choose the figure?” I venture. “I didn’t choose the figure. It chose me and it chose me early. It is how I feel. I have an interest in the body. That is the attraction most art has for me…the figurative. The figure is the body. It is me,” says Tosh who is represented in Calgary by Masters Gallery. Bev Tosh’s Ramsey studio is filled with lush oversized portraits of WWII war brides sporting official headgear; the most striking is based on a photo of her mother. Tosh’s mom married a New Zealand pilot and left Saskatchewan to start a family with him. When the marriage ended her mother and her two daughters returned to Canada. When her mother turned 80, Tosh began talking to her about life as a war bride. The conversation led her to other Canadian war brides—the subject has captivated the painter for the last two years. Tosh’s immersion is complete and has even invaded her night table. Lately her

reading includes Marge Piercy’s classic WWII novel Gone to Soldiers about women’s experiences of the war. “I have also been researching dress patterns from the war time. The women handcrafted wedding gowns from parachute silk as material was scarce due to war rationing. I found one from 1945 in the Aerospace Museum.” Like Tosh, Edmonton printmaker Liz Ingram has been working with the figure since her student days. “I did a lot of life drawing while at York doing my BFA. I moved west to the University of Alberta to take my Master degree and I never left. When I was a student, colour field painting was important. There was no ‘content’ in your work, no figure. Printmaking permitted me to work with recognizable imagery, to do figurative work. I was not brave enough to go against the grain in painting.” The decision to go with her heart and the figure has proven out. Ingram’s work is critically acclaimed. Her prints have been exhibited in Prague, Versailles, London, Japan, Norway, Brazil


“I have a selfconfessed aesthetic passion for the figure,” explains White. “I grapple with the question: How do I communicate? What is the best vehicle? What transcends language, geography, and gender? A fist is a fist. A caress is a caress. The figure became an obvious vehicle for the themes I want to examine.” “My upcoming show looks at truth, the truth in all of our lives. I am interested in that instant, the meditative state, the pause between breaths when you are freed from the flesh for a split second. You can change at that instant. When I look at people, I can see what they desire in their faces, or what is hidden behind the veil. As an artist, I view the world from that pause place, where everything exists and we are aware of it,” says White. “All art is about seeing. The flesh is like a map, a history, our scars, the record of who we are. When I look at the figure I see that we are all the same, all grappling with the same human struggles. It is also really about beauty. Sometimes, I just look at a clavicle and think it is beautiful.”

and Taiwan. Her latest solo show, Fragile Source, was exhibited at the Edmonton Art Gallery in 2001. Fragile Source features figures immersed in water. “It has to do with sensuality, connection. There is a paradox between the solidity of materials and the transience of life.” Los Angeles-based artist Jia Lu is in her studio painting when I call. The former Calgarian is preparing for a number of upcoming shows (October 28 at Calgary’s Stephen Lowe Art Gallery) and trying to keep pace with the increased demand for her work. The soft-spoken woman is quietly self-assured. “I am not afraid to paint beautiful paintings with luxurious materials,” says Lu. As a figurative artist who works with the nude, she also has a political and spiritual intent to her work: “Male artists paint women as things, as objects. They don’t know women. They are not women. We are spiritual, powerful and sensitive. I see my subjects as spiritual beings, not just sexual. I wanted to make them beautiful inside and out.” Lu has seen some personal struggles over the last few years

and is now happily married. Her current happy state of mind is reflected in the joyful, radiant, and richly textured portraits of women she creates. She is quick to reassure me that she is not a ‘nude artist’. “No. No. No. I am painting figures. They are spiritual beings. They are beautiful.” I met Carl White on a Saturday morning at his favourite people-watching spot, Café Beano in Calgary. We talked about his upcoming show at Harrison Galleries (September 19 – October 20), his recent trip to LA, and his passion for the figure. White had just returned from LA where he was working on a commission for the Hyatt Regency Hotel. He is happy to be back and anxious to get moving on his new works for September’s Half-illuminated in the light of our entry. half in the shadow of what is to come.

BY BRIAN BRENNAN

Katie Ohe: sculpted eloquence F or the past 40 years, the sculptor Katie Ohe has been quietly and tastefully endowing Calgary’s public places, galleries and private collections with dynamic contemporary sculptures that seem to have been surreptitiously crafted by an artist named Anonymous. Because she often puts only her last name (in small letters) on her public art—and sometimes omits it entirely—Ohe has avoided the modern tendency to brand herself as a cultural celebrity, and instead has let her work speak, boldly, dramatically and eloquently, for itself. “Katie is an abstract sculptor of wonderful spirit,” says Alan MacDonald, the information director at the University of Calgary, where a few of Ohe’s most popular public pieces are on permanent display. “Her strength and artistry produce a different, mysterious magic, through sophisticated sculptures that are inviting and human in scale.” One of the first artists to make abstract sculpture in Alberta, Ohe (pronounced Oh-ee) has been influential both as a teacher and as an artist. Her career-long affiliation with what is now the Alberta College of Art and Design began in 1954 when she was a 17-year-old art student and has continued since she became a part-time sculpture instructor there in 1970. Born Katherine Dorothea Minna von der Ohe, the daughter of German immigrants, she was raised on a farm near Peers, Alberta, just east of Edson, and she knew from an early age that she wanted to be an artist. “I had no idea what an artist was, but that was what I wanted to be,” she told the Calgary Herald in 1976. A fortune-telling neighbour predicted Ohe would achieve her ambition “and I truly believed her.” Ohe waited on tables to pay her tuition at the Alberta College of Art and, by her third year, she was “passionately involved with sculpture.” She learned from her Calgary teachers about working with wood, clay and ceramics, and broadened her range when she travelled on scholarship to New York and learned about welding, metal spinning and other industrial techniques used in the fabrication of modern sculpture. “Within her first month, we recognized that she was an exceptional young sculptor,” said her New York teacher, Dorothy Denslow. 14 Galleries West

When she returned from New York in 1962, at age 25, Ohe received her first major commission: to carve a wooden pulpit, communion table and baptismal font for the chapel at Calgary’s Grace Presbyterian Church. This was followed, in 1963, by a commission to make a concrete mural depicting the banishing of Lucifer from heaven, for the east wall of St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church in Calgary. Ohe worked 70 hours a week for

four months to complete this semi-realistic, 20 ft. by 6 ft. project, then the largest of its kind ever done in Calgary. (It has since been dwarfed by Ohe’s concrete mural, Canada, located in the foyer of the Geological Survey of Canada building, adjoining the University of Calgary Research Park.) After a second trip to New York in late 1963, Ohe decided to settle permanently in Calgary. The city nourished her creatively and there was plenty of work available for her, both as a sculptor and as a teacher. Her students included the Toronto-based sculptor Evan Penny, who now makes a successful living creating special effects and prosthetic makeup for Hollywood movies, and Vancouver artist Claudia Cuesta, who remembers Ohe as “a remarkable woman, very inspiring.” Calgary artist Carroll Taylor-

During the 1970s, Ohe began making sculptures with moving parts. “I want to do something with natural movement—by the breeze or by touch,” she said. A characteristic example of this work was Zipper, a seven-foot kinetic steel sculpture installed in the main foyer of the University of Calgary’s science complex in 1975. Shimmering and playful, it has become one of her bestloved pieces. The shiny surface (the chroming was done at a local automotive refinishing firm) is smeared with handprints from the hundreds of students who set it spinning daily. “All who pass it are compelled to touch and manipulate,” says Alan MacDonald. Ohe’s latest kinetic sculpture, Janet’s Crown, was made in memory of Calgary painter Janet Mitchell and unveiled this spring on the lawn at the south entrance to the College of Art.

Lindoe, who studied with her as a teenager, says Ohe’s teaching and art were always inseparable, and both were an extension of her personality: “Art isn’t something that Katie does, it’s who she is. Her teaching is like her art; it comes from the heart.” In 1964, Ohe established a combined work and living space in an old carriage house (triple garage) on the grounds of a Coach Hill mansion owned by the wrestling patriarch Stu Hart, and that became her base of operations for the next 14 years. “No matter who lives there, everyone still calls the little carriage house Katie’s place,” wrote wrestler Bret “the Hitman” Hart in his Calgary Sun column in July 2000. “There’s some significant, indefinable thing about Stu teaching guys the art of wrestling in

Kerr Gallery in 1991. “Now it is possible to fully consider the nature of Katie Ohe’s art and to write her name in bolder letters,” wrote freelance art curator Katherine Ylitalo in the 1991 exhibition catalogue. Since then, Ohe has been selected by two gallery professionals, Christine Sowiak of the Nickle Arts Museum and Jacek Malec of Triangle Gallery, for their top-five lists of the most significant Calgary artists of the past 50 years. And, in June 2001, at age 64, she received an honourary doctorate from the University of Calgary. “She has inspired and influenced a host of Canadian sculptors and artists,” said the accompanying citation. “Let us honour the consummate artistry of one of Alberta’s finest.” Brian Brennan is a Calgary author, journalist and broadcaster who has written extensively on the arts. His new book, Scoundrels and Scallywags: Characters from Alberta’s Past, will be published by Fifth House in October.

Encircled by reflecting stars that capture what Ohe calls “pools of sky,” the five-pointed crown sits in a cauldron-sized metal hemisphere that revolves gently like a carousel in a children’s playground. Other examples of Ohe’s public art can be found in Calgary at such places as the Bethany Care Centre, the Calgary Board of Education building, a community park in the Bankview district, and at Prince’s Island Park where a weather-beaten duet of stone cylindrical shapes called Night and Day directly north of the Eau Claire shopping mall. Serious recognition for Ohe’s work has been slow in coming. During the 1960s and early 1970s, she attracted a lot of press attention but only, it seemed, for the novelty of a young female artist working with heavy materials. This began to change in the mid1970s when she was featured in a series of solo shows in Calgary and Edmonton, and culminated in a major retrospective exhibition at the Illingworth


Walks of Art Art walking in three Western Canadian cities BY ROD CHAPMAN

G

alleries in three of Western Canada’s biggest cities— Edmonton, Calgary and Saskatoon—are getting dressed up to celebrate art in September. Many of the galleries are mounting major exhibitions in conjunction with upcoming art walks and festivals. Edmonton was the first city in Canada to create a gallery walk (in 1981) and now hosts three annual self-guided walks in the city’s eclectic Gallery Walk Area. This year for the first time the Fall Gallery Walk will be held on a weekend, September 28 from 10 am to 5 pm and September 29 from noon to 4 pm. The Christmas Gallery Walk will be held November 30 and December 1. During the fall walk visitors can ride in style between the galleries in a horse-drawn carriage. The Gallery Walk Area, encompassing about six blocks just west of downtown in the 124 Street Business District, is chock full of restaurants, gift and clothing shops, bookstores, live theatre venues and specialty businesses in addition to the seven participating galleries. Among the exhibitions happening during the Gallery Walk is Birdcall, new works by Sheila Newgate, at Agnes Bugera Gallery; an exhibition of paintings and glasswork by Edmonton artist Brenda Malkinson at Scott Gallery, and works by Kate More at Electrum Design Studio. For more information about Edmonton’s Gallery Walks call 780-488-3619 or visit www.gallery-walk.com. Calgary’s ArtCity Festival, a celebration of art, architecture and design, will be held September 19 to 29 throughout the downtown core. Coordinated by Calgary’s non-profit Visual Arts Week Society, organizers hope to attract 20,000 people this year. In addition to the ArtWalk, where visitors can view exhibitions at participating galleries, the festival will feature a special curated show, a series of lectures by an international roster of speakers, an architectural exhibition located in +15 bridges and the highly anticipated unveiling of Peep Show. Water Pavilion, a portable art showcase at Olympic Plaza, was last year’s winning Peep Show entry.

Peep Show challenges architects and designers worldwide to create portable showcases for art in public places throughout the city. Last year’s winning entry is by the Calgary team of Neil Freeman and Catherine Kim. Called Water Pavilion, it features a platform cantilevered over the Olympic Plaza reflecting pool, with a simple plexiglass box on the end of the plank. Artwork by Calgary artist Maija Graham titled Prayer will be on display around the pavilion. About 50 entries from around the world submitted in this year’s Peep Show competition will be showcased in the Banker’s Hall/TD Square +15 bridge, and the winning entry—worth $3,000—will be announced at the festival’s opening gala September 20. The completed work will be unveiled at next year’s ArtCity festival, and organizers hope that each year from now on a new installation somewhere downtown will feature a different work of art. In addition to Peep Show, a special exhibition on the third floor of the Barron Building is called Indemnity: Intimate Efforts Made Dear. Curated by Noel Bégin and featuring the work of eight Alberta artists, the show encompasses a range of performing and visual arts. ArtTalk this year consists of seven lectures constructed around the topic of Memory and Identity. Adding depth and context to the festival, ArtTalk features an international lineup of speakers including Chilean-born New York architect Alfredo Jaar; Akiko Busch, a writer and editor for Metropolitan magazine; and Finnish architect Pentti Kareoja, who will speak on the topic Art as Building Material. An architecture exhibition animating four downtown +15 bridges will focus the eye on different elements of the streetscape below. This architectural aspect of ArtCity is intended to critically address the way contemporary North American cities are constructed. Capping off the festival will be a two-day self-guided ArtWalk on September 28 and 29. Visitors will be able to view exhibitions at 42 participating galleries, from established commercial and public galleries to artist-run centres. For more information about ArtCity call 403-870-2787 or visit www.art-city.ca/. Saskatoon's ArtWalk will be held September 29 from 1 to 5 pm at 16 participating galleries. Because galleries in Saskatoon are located throughout the city, free transportation between them is planned for visitors. During ArtWalk, Collector's Choice Gallery will be showing Prairie Pastels: An Australian Perspective by Amanda McLean, who will also be in attendance at the show’s opening on September 27. A group exhibition of gallery artists opens during ArtWalk at Darrell Bell Gallery, and Gallery on the Bridges at Saskatoon City Hospital is hosting a group exhibition by five Saskatchewan artists including photographer Courtney Milne. Also noteworthy Fall 2002

Artist Portraits A brief look at some of the artists represented by local galleries BY SHANNON HETH & JENNIFER MacLEOD

KATHERINE LAKEMAN

KATHERINE LAKEMAN IS inspired by the wonder of the natural world. A landscape painter in the summer, Lakeman works on location in the Columbia Icefields and the Monashees, where she can capture the natural light and beauty of her surroundings. She paints quickly, hoping to convey the energy she finds in the landscape. In the winter, Lakeman devotes herself to still lifes of colourful flowers. But she cannot stay inside for long. Lakeman’s passion for the outdoors is satisfied every spring when she organizes a two-week long workshop in San Miguel, Mexico, where she and her fellow artists paint and relish in what she calls a “true full blown spring”. Many of Lakeman’s current paintings are of subjects in San Miguel, and communicate to the viewer the beauty and lush surroundings of Mexico. Katherine Lakeman’s work can be found at Artspace in the Crossroads Market, 1235 – 26 Avenue SE, Calgary, 403269-4278, and at Ferntree Gallery, 501 – 1 Street West in Cochrane, 403-932-7335.

in Calgary says when she first saw Attar’s work in Vancouver, she fell in love with it. Apparently, she is not alone. Some of Attar’s pieces were bought by the Clinton administration and now hang in the White House. Attar is shown exclusively by Wallace Galleries, 500 – 5 Avenue SW, 403-262-8050. A show of Attar’s work begins October 5.

MICHAEL MATHEWS

IT IS NOT VERY OFTEN THAT ONE FINDS AN ARTIST whose studio sits on a ridge 7,800 feet up in the mountains. For two weeks at a time in the summer, however, Michael Mathews works in a fire tower in the Columbia valley, keeping his eyes open for fires and painting the Canadian wilderness. He paints intuitively he says, following his instincts and creating landscapes which look as natural as the environment in which they were conceived. Mathews works in warm tones and paints with bold strokes, which give some of his paintings a sense of heat that can only come from witnessing wild fires. Mathews completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Calgary and his work hangs in the Canadian Embassy

Fall 2002

BORN IN MOROCCO AND now residing in Vancouver, Alain Attar’s abstract paintings evoke feelings on many levels. Perhaps this is because, before he became a full-time painter, Attar worked as a psychoanalyst. A Canadian resident for 20 years, Attar creates his art using plaster, marble dust and dolomite sand on board. This mixed medium not only evokes impressions of Morocco, but also gives a sculptural feeling to his two-dimensional, abstract work. Colette Hubner of Wallace Galleries

JAMIE EVRARD

Jean Pilch: Shades of September, acrylic on canvas, 20" x 30"

JEAN PILCH

“IF I DIDN’T LIVE IN ALBERTA I MIGHT NOT BE A landscape painter,” says Jean Pilch. A Calgary resident for 30 years, Pilch grew up on a farm in Northern Alberta and began painting when she was nine years old. She works in acrylics and pastel pencil, which allow her to compose very technical work. But don’t call it photo realism. Although Pilch works in her studio from photos she takes on her various hikes throughout Kananaskis Country and other mountainous regions, she does not make exact replicas of her photos. Pilch prefers to refer to her work as “edited realism,” often using two or three photos together to compose one piece. Pilch is a Premier Pastellist with the Pastel Society of Canada, and has been a member of the Alberta Society of Artists since 1998. Jean Pilch’s exhibition High Trails and Back Roads runs

JAMIE EVRARD’S SUMPTUOUS MONOTYPES AND OIL paintings reflect the artist’s elegant lifestyle. From her homebase in Vancouver, Evrard spends much of the year travelling including an annual month’s retreat at her family’s Tuscan villa. On her travels, Evrard collects exquisite handmade papers which she uses to produce lush fruit and floral monotype prints. Often, she begins by painting directly onto the paper, sometimes applying metallic powders. Then, she creates her image in oil on plexiglass. The prepared sheets of paper are pressed, repeatedly, on the plate, creating a richly textured, diffused image reminiscent of an aged fresco. The individual pieces of paper are mounted onto a backing and usually completed with a water gilded frame. Evrard’s monotypes and her exuberant oils on canvas will be on view starting November 16 at the Agnes Bugera Gallery, 12310 Jasper Avenue, Edmonton, 780-482-2854.

IAN RAWLINSON

SASKATOON ARTIST IAN RAWLINSON EXPLORES A seemingly mundane subject in his paintings: suburban neighbourhoods at night. Rawlinson’s luminous paintings take us to backyard vantage points, from which we see the shadows of

Ian Rawlinson: Fascination, 2002, acrylic on canvas, 18 "x 22"

Jamie Evrard: Summer Baroque XIII, 2000, oil on canvas, 36" x 40"

after-dark punctuated by intense pools of window or street lights. Like inkblots, the scenes evoke myriad emotions and psychological connections. What is distancing and alienating to one viewer, might be warm and inviting to another. A sense of anonymity might as easily be a sense of belonging. Mysterious, ominous, voyeuristic? Or peaceful, homey and familiar? “The power of these works resides in their ambiguity and mute testimony,” writes George Moppet in his notes from a 2001 Mendel Art Gallery show. “A sense of order and unity, experienced during the daylight, gives way at night to a degree of uncertainty and apprehension.” Ian Rawlinson’s first solo show runs October 20 to November 2 at Darrell Bell Gallery, 220 – 3 Avenue S., Saskatoon, 306-9555701. He is represented in Edmonton at the Agnes Bugera Gallery. Fall 2002

KINETIC KICKS

E

dmontonians are well known for getting the most out of their green spaces while the sun shines with numerous festivals as well as biking, urban hiking and other outdoor diversions. Recycles, located in Beaver Hill Park, is a tribute to the city’s lively spirit. Constructed from found objects, it is a playful and interactive kinetic sculpture created by Edmonton artists Elizabeth Bowering Beauchamp and Lyn Malin and erected in June 2001. Beaver Hill Park is found at 106 Street and Jasper Avenue. Recycles was photographed for Galleries West by Paul Murasko, an Edmonton-based freelance photographic artist. Murasko’s personal portfolio includes handpainted photographs that meld his love of photography and painting in oils. “Photography allows me to be spontaneous with subject matter,” he says. “I move within the moment.” Paul Murasko’s work is available through Douglas Udell Gallery in Edmonton, and can be viewed at www.one9.com/paul. Technical specs: Kodak HIE Infrared film with No. 25 Red filter. Exp: 1/125 sec, f16.
