INGRAM GALLERY                October 2022

Greetings!

October arrives with a collection of beautiful art and artist news along with its most colourful of seasons. Sean Yelland’s 2022 solo exhibition What’s the point? continues at the gallery until October 11 and offers an exceptional and immersive in-person viewing experience.

In this edition of Ingram Art News we highlight the soon-to-be-unveiled Garden of the Greek Gods by sculptor E.B. Cox, R.C.A. (1914 - 2003) in their now visible and permanent location, Travis Shilling’s newest and public gallery works, and the welcoming of artist Anja Karisik to the gallery’s representation. We also look to Sean Yelland's current solo, as well as Jane Everett’s upcoming exhibition As Kingfishers Catch Fire, opening November 5.

ANJA KARISIK

This month we celebrate the welcoming of Anja Karisik under the gallery’s representation. The artist’s exceptional style and draw to the margins of water and land bring continuous and expanding forms of artful perspective. 

Holding influence from across the Western landscape tradition, the physical and temporal subjects at play in Karisik’s work gesture equally toward chronicling the innate character and significance of an environment as much as they record the tangible experiences and wisdom found in nature’s roots and prehistory.

Erratic Forms, Awenda - oil on canvas, 40 x 60 inches | ANJA KARISIK

Anja Karisik was born in Sarajevo in 1987, fleeing Bosnia and Hercegovina with her family in 1994. She spent the following two years on the Adriatic seacoast of northern Croatia and these formative years hold an enduring imprint on the artist’s worldview with deep-seated memories of the rocks, shells, and intertidal life that cover the Adriatic coast.

Cultured in the study of art, Karisik is a graduate of Fine Art History at the University of Toronto and has studied experimental and figure drawing at the Toronto School of Art. Karisik’s acclaimed solo exhibitions have seen the artist’s work included in significant collections throughout the country and abroad. She has exhibited across Canada, including at the Maritime Museum of British Columbia, the Toronto Heliconian Club, and the Robert Bateman Centre in Victoria, BC.

TRAVIS SHILLING

Travis Shilling continues a string of artistic accomplishments and is currently creating fresh large-scale works in studio. Shilling’s canvases are on striking display at the Art Gallery of Ontario (J.S. McLean Centre for Indigenous & Canadian Art) which draw a great deal of attention from all.

Galillee - oil on canvas, 30 x 36 inches | TRAVIS SHILLING

Shilling’s newest oil Galillee is at the gallery and epitomizes the artist’s innate style and vision. With each brushstroke playing off the other, colour and dreamlike narrative illuminates the piece’s subject matter in immaculate form.

E.B. COX, R.C.A. (1914-2003)

The Garden of the Greek Gods by sculptor E.B. Cox, R.C.A. (1914 - 2003) will soon be freed! After eight years of dedicated work spearheaded by Cox’s daughter, the twenty large-scale limestone sculptures will be unveiled in November within their new and splendid placement in the Rose Garden on Exhibition Place grounds. Stay tuned to Ingram Art News for updates on this magnificent occasion for public art in Toronto as well as celebratory happenings among The Gods.

SEAN YELLAND

Sean Yelland’s What’s the point? runs until October 11 and enchants all who view the paintings. From the majesty of the exhibition’s largest pieces to the cloaked details found throughout, What’s the point? invites us to take part in discovering what is truly important within our changing environments.

The exhibition’s opening reception was a greatly enjoyed event and Yelland has been in attendance on several occasions while the works are on the walls. Be sure to view the paintings in person and share in their insightful honesty, humour, and epiphany.
