November 26 to February 20, reception December 8, 7 to 9 pm: Joanna McEwen: Interiors of Place assembles fifty egg tempera-on-panel paintings created from 2003 to 2011 by this Simcoe County artist. McEwen portrays various details found within the numerous small rural churches that dot the historic Oro Township region. Her intimate, chromatic paintings capture glints of spiritual residue but more so the lapsing bonds of community that until very recently carried over from the nineteenth-century. McEwen’s project is simultaneously an aesthetic meditation on the inevitable passages of time and belief and the creation of an objective historical record. The artist will lead a gallery tour of Interiors of Place on Sunday, January 15 at 1 pm.
