JANE EVERETT

As Kingfishers Catch Fire

November 5 - 25 . 2022

Opening reception: Saturday, November 5 | 1pm - 3pm

As Kingfishers Catch Fire presents a luminous new collection of oil paintings by Jane Everett. Following a path of venerable artistic achievements, Everett’s visionary 2022 solo exhibition compels its viewers to immerse themselves in explorations of grandeur through the artist’s unique lens.

I'm often drawn to painting the surface of water…rather than directly painting the landscape. Partly because of the light, and partly because it’s already turned on its head and broken up and reassembled and all the things water does to vision.

Refracted images unfurl from the works as we enter their enchanted scenes of life at the water’s edge. With intrepid use of composition and colour, the artist’s newest body of work creates ever-expanding settings for her subjects and their viewer to meet. From the collection’s smallest to largest oils, we are invited to pause and be transported to other worlds through the musicality of Everett’s glorious looking glass.

The spatial relationships in Everett’s newest paintings bring an unrestrained freedom to her subject matter while also setting the viewer adrift within the works. First viewings are often met with progressive insight and communication with the pieces as their layered and multi-faceted arrangements expand.

Jane Everett was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1958 and divides her time between Kelowna and Shuswap, British Columbia. She completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario and her work has been widely exhibited in both public and private galleries, including at the Kelowna Art Gallery, Nuit Blanche Saskatoon, and in the capacity of visual design for Ballet Kelowna’s production of Macbeth in May 2022. Her artwork can be found in significant collections across the country, including at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, the Vernon Public Art Gallery in B.C., and Buhler Gallery in Winnipeg, Manitoba. As Kingfishers Catch Fire follows Everett’s acclaimed 2019 Slipstream solo exhibition at Ingram Gallery.

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

Public Art in Toronto

The Garden of the Greek Gods Grand Unveiling took place Tuesday, November 1 in the Rose Garden on Exhibition Place grounds, marking the return of E.B. Cox’s iconic sculptures to the public realm for all to enjoy. The wonderful occasion brings significant benefit to public art in the city of Toronto and it was celebrated with distinguished speeches regarding the importance of the sculptures and Cox’s work on a whole to our artistic history.

... and here we are. The Gods are in their rightful home! Hercules standing tall and proud looking out across the lake to limitless horizons. Myths and legends abound in this garden. Heroes and mischief makers alike.

I thought to bring a little bird with me today. It comes from my home. An example of how small an E.B. could be. Perfect lines and weight, it can almost fly despite being made of stone. This is what he was capable of. Beauty and timeless form with only the essence, the suggestion of the subject’s true appearance. A reminder of his ability in not only the monumental works surrounding us but of the many delicate treasures he left us.
