INGRAM GALLERY

Greetings!

We are pleased to announce the release of spectacular new collections from the studios of Travis Shilling as well as Anja Karisik. You can view the worlds-within-worlds on the walls at the gallery and are encouraged to take your time, linger long, and discover art throughout our historic building.

In this edition of Ingram Art News, where the medium is indeed a part of the message, we begin with a look at revelatory watercolours from Travis Shilling’s Sacred Sites collection. We then explore Anja Karisik’s new Strata series which draws on the artist’s venerated history with the medium of pastels. Further on, we look at the magnificent graphite works of Ryan Price, the concept of ‘the third space’, and more.

Sacred Sites

Watercolours

Astounding watercolours from Travis Shilling’s acclaimed Sacred Sites series are newly available at the gallery and calling attention with their sweeping insight and washes of colour. After the unearthing of buried history in Shilling’s 2019 Tyrannosaurus Clan exhibition, Sacred Sites moves forward in an exploration of our present and future. The painterly worlds that exist within these concentrated visions bring out prescient views of us, our culture, and its spirits.

TRAVIS SHILLING

The Louvre - watercolour, 12 x 18 inches

A respected oil painter, Travis Shilling’s approach to paint and his extension into watercolour as a medium creates an electrifying arrangement of the artist’s abilities. Serving as a conduit or translator, Shilling channels the immediacy and permanence of water as a medium to imprint the storytelling, communal experience, and visions of what will follow.

Strata

Pastels

Anja Karisik’s Strata series offers a collection of majestic visions at the river’s edge with bright and expressive use of the pastel medium on top of layers of gouache. Following the three-canvas series As Above, So Below, the paintings of Strata create intimate-yet-monumental imagery of the environments where the artist is drawn.

Karisik has an accomplished history of working with pastels, adding a fitting layer of familiarity and natural order to the Strata series. The medium’s essential role in its message affords both the artist and viewer an added freedom to materialize elements that exist deep within the compositions.

You can view Anja Karisik’s Strata and As Above so Below collections at the gallery and on our website. Please contact us to receive a digital catalogue or for acquisitions and inquiries.

TRAVIS SHILLING

Wolf in Paradise - watercolour, 9 x 12 inches

There has been a lot of discussion in recent weeks about how the gallery functions as a ‘third space’ for many – a place where we gather that is neither home nor work. As the ‘first’ and ‘second’ spaces become increasingly interchangeable, the significance of the ‘third space’ deepens, as well as the role and function of the art gallery in society.

“Art is a private obsession that demands public exposure, and an art gallery mediates between the private and the public.”

- From a letter to Ingram Gallery

from artist Rachel Berman, February 2002

Join us at the gallery to share in the appreciation of art, warm drinks, and our expansive collection of art books. There will be coffee and tea on Saturday and we look forward to seeing you, as always.
