The Road to Abstraction by Judith Myers

About the Item

Acquired from 2011 Solo exhibition at a gallery in Vancouver Canada titled "The Road to Abstraction " by mixed-media artist Judith Myers. This exhibition of works is the inspired result of a recent trip to Holland where she participated in a workshop on a canal boat studying in depth the history of the Dutch Masters and practicing traditional techniques using contemporary materials. Judith Myers was born in Toronto, Canada and trained in Modern dance before embarking on a career in visual art. Her passion for the abstract expressionists gave inspiration to move to Europe in 1980 where the artistic ambiance was prevalent and conducive for a Canadian to study and integrate with the artists of the European community. Arriving in Amsterdam with a background in teaching modern dance was the introduction that paved the way to being welcomed into learning ceramics, drawing, painting and mixed media. It took only a short time before her work was on display in exhibitions in Holland, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. She is presently living and working in Vancouver, British Columbia Exhibition History 2013 Tate Gallery, Port Hope ON, October 5 – 20 2011 Lumen Gallery, Vancouver, BC, opening November 24 2009 Scott Cultural Center, Port Hope ON 2007 AK Collins Gallery, Port Hope, ON Art Gallery of Peterborough, Peterborough ON group exhibition 2006 Rebecca Gallery Toronto, ON Art Gallery of Peterborough, Peterborough ON group exhibition 2005 Art Gallery of Peterborough, Peterborough ON group exhibition Kawartha Studio Tour, Peterborough ON juried group Art Gallery of Peterborough, Peterborough ON Democracy Project installation opened by John Ralston Saul Petroff Gallery, Toronto, Ont. with Josef Roschar Satellite Gallery, Toronto, Ont Art Gallery of Peterborough, Peterborough, ON group exhibition Art Gallery of Peterborough, Peterborough, ON group exhibition Kalef Halpin Gallery, Calgary, Alta.

Original Oil Painting by the English Artist James R. Webb
By James Webb
Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
An atmospheric oil painting depicting a seaside with sunlit high sand dunes in the forefront and in Stark contrast a dark stormy sky in the background with seagulls overhead. Small sailing ships can be seen in the distance. Climbing the dunes is a shepherdess and her small flock of sheep grazing on meagre offerings along the dunes. A young couple can also be seen sitting on the beach in the background. The painting is in its original carved and gilded frame.

The painting is set in an intricately carved gilded frame which has been professionally restored. James R Webb...
