SUMMARY:Through Our Eyes
DESCRIPTION:Teen Junction\n\n\n\nCommunity GalleryMay 23 – June 21\, 2024 \n\n\n\nThrough Our Eyes is a unique community-based project by the youth at the Teen Junction Youth Centre in partnership with the Vernon Public Art Gallery. The Vernon Public Art Gallery strives to connect art and the community and supports emerging artists working outside of mainstream of artistic production. The focus of the exhibition is to give voice to youth and make statements about their lives and experiences in Vernon. We all have a unique voice and presence in our community and Through Our Eyes is an affirmation of the importance of recognition\, representation\, collaboration\, and the arts. Teen Junction Youth Centre is an after-school drop-in center that offers a safe space for youth to relax\, connect\, and learn. The Centre works with community organizations to connect youth with support and resources when they need it.

SUMMARY:Accidentals
DESCRIPTION:Robert Fee\n\n\n\nCaroline Galbraith GalleryMay 23 – July 17\, 2024 \n\n\n\nArtist statement: \n\n\n\nThe title of the show “Accidentals” refers to the musical term indicating a temporary shift in a musical composition. Once the key of a song is established\, an instrumentalist reading the music will encounter a note has been made sharp or flat for that bar and they must adjust. Then the music will default back to the original key for the subsequent bars\, until the composer creates another shift somewhere else. At first this temporary change may be a mystery to the individual player\, but to the composer there is underlying meaning; a change in the harmony\, or a different scale with a particular sound. What might have seemed a random change always has a purposeful intention. The accidental always adds more tension\, drama\, and interest to the piece. \n\n\n\nWith these paintings\, I gather structures randomly\, as you would with a collage\, and I start creating parameters and set a course for the work. At first\, the paintings seem to be about something unintended; mostly from imagery I gravitate towards but not knowing where it will fit into the work. Some of the strangest references that I choose do seem like random accidentals; not knowing how they will relate to the whole. Often\, I’ll find a phrase or image that materializes out of simple curiosity. \n\n\n\nI engage with the visual challenge\, integrating and editing the accidental imagery into the painting. A quiet interaction takes place between the images\, their potential subtext and my brushwork and colour palette. The compositions involve a process that channels energy around and throughout. The process of additions and revisions repeats until ultimately the composition appears resolved. I like discovering beauty or humour that may reveal itself in this process. The paintings involve some free association\, which probably also involves my own psychology\, but I hope these connections have some universal resonance.
