FINDING HIS VOICE

"I find in art a source to communicate my vision in life."

Fidel Ponce Ccana was born in 1973 in Lima, Peru where he studied at the National School of Fine Arts from 1992 to 1998. His academic background was influenced by well-known artists such as Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Da Vinci. Prominent Peruvian painters Carlos Palma, Daniel Manta and Pedro Caballero were his mentors and influenced his pictorial work and his vision of the world.

ELUSIVELY CAPTURING GLORIOUS NATURE

Ron Hedrick calls himself a ‘colorist’ and has achieved his eloquence in oils over the many years since he launched his career in Kamloops years ago. An ambitious Luminary of Canadian Impression, Ron was initially inspired by Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven as well as French Impressionists Monet and Sisley.

His impressionist flair catches light in a way that masters it and his accurate and intermittent brush strokes combine complimentary colours with alternating sharp and subtle edges. The interplay of light and shadow compel the viewer to draw closer and experience his wonderful work.

BACK ALLEY BEAUTY

The art of Kari Duke illustrates one very important lesson: inspiration and beauty really can be found in our own backyards – or at least in our back alley ways. Kari's work presents viewers with surprising subject matter, evoking a sense of stillness and silence in contemplation of the simplicity and unexpected loveliness of back alleys. Her work maintains a certain air of sentimentality reminiscent of a simpler, bygone era.

SIMPLY MAGIC

The Power of Expression - Klaas believes that, like most things in life, if you look hard enough you see another layer. That is where he finds himself today, exploring a new layer. "I believe what you say has to be supported by how well you can paint it and not the other way around." This new age master’s old-style work speaks for itself. Simply magic.

THE COLOURS OF LIFE

It is difficult to imagine Normand Hudon as either old or out of the spotlight. Many will always remember him as a caricaturist, devilishly gifted in shaking the pedestals beneath public figures. More than a humorist, and much more than an artist whose brushstrokes bite, Normand was a poster artist, illustrator, ad man, actor, radio and television host, author… the list goes on, but no matter what else Hudon was doing, he was always painting.
