ON THE WALLS | AT INGRAM
RYAN PRICE
All of the greys
March 2 - 22 . 2019
Opening reception with the artist: Saturday, March 2 | 2pm to 4pm
RYAN PRICE, majesty? 48 x 48 inches, graphite on gypsum
In a world where the dichotomy of black and white causes apprehension, All of the greys shifts our attention to the changing and multifaceted meanings that exist while Price's decisive line quality absorbs everything around it. The collection radiates on the gallery's walls, with each piece commanding individual attention through Price's intuitive hand. All of the titles end in question marks, pressing for greater inquiry into everything we see around us.

"Up to this point I've been working in a very intentionally unintentional way."
- Ryan Price
The artist has included a work of poesy in memory of Phil Stretten that will be included in the exhibition with the subtitle "(things realized and rediscovered while drawing these works, and since)."
Ryan Price lives and works in Guelph, Ontario. Born in 1972, his artistic career has seen successive accomplishments with numerous solo and group exhibitions, including public exhibitions at the The Macdonald Stewart Art Centre and most recently at the Elora Centre for the Arts. All of the greys is Price's sixth solo exhibition with the gallery. His collaborative work with other artists is extensive, with his unique vision appearing on the covers of many albums and works of literature. Notably, in 2006 Price re-illustrated Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven with his masterful drypoint engravings.

Solo Exhibition

Save the date - Opening reception: Saturday, April 27 | 2pm to 4pm
Travis Shilling's words are his creations. Shilling is in studio at the heart of his work for his solo exhibition ahead this spring at the gallery. He is decidedly creating as he passes through - thoughts are flowing as he observer and absorbs. Please mark your calendar and join Shilling at his opening reception on Saturday, April 27 from 2pm to 4pm.

Later in May, we look forward to hosting two exhibitions simultaneously with
Barry Hodgson's
Islands and Ice and
Barker Fairley's
Town & Country. Although greatly different, Hodgson and Fairley's works both offer potent views of their worlds within their respective concise forms of brushwork. May 25 to June 8 promises to be an elegant and thought provoking time at the gallery.

NEW & NOTEWORTHY | AT INGRAM
DANIEL HUGHES
New Works + The Rome Workshops
DANIEL HUGHES,
Mind's eye I, II and II (2019) mixed media on board
Daniel Hughes has delivered a number of extraordinary works to the gallery that are fresh from studio and mark an impressive moment in his career. These pieces investigate memory itself, calling on forcible images from his childhood days spent in Kenya, East Africa. Recollections of figures and hands are assembled and delicately rendered within sparse and amorphous settings while offering testament to the artist's immense vision. The act of calling back memories from various parts of the mind happens simultaneously with
Hughes' seamless use of a wide range of media, at times creating the images from charcoal, plaster, conté, and pastel.
BEYOND THE GALLERY WALLS
This summer, Hughes will be leading a workshop in Rome, Italy on Contemporary Figure Drawing for The Rome Workshops. These insightful classes will offer attendees direct perspective from the artist as well as other world-leading figurative artists in Rome. Hughes will share his knowledge of both traditional and contemporary drawing techniques as the participants will complete multiple works using a variety of materials and grounds. The Contemporary Figure Drawing workshop will make frequent trips to view Old Master works around Rome and will take place from June 24 to July 5, 2019. Please click here to learn more about this exciting experience in the Eternal City.
