EMBERS Build a Business student Sheryl Hamilton has her own business promoting art.
Bruce Turnbull opens his newest exhibition “Stumble.Fall.Eaten” on Thursday November 18th.
Opening Reception: Thursday November 18th, 5 – 8 pm
(exhibition runs to December 11th)
Tel: 604 730-9611
“Apres L’Hockey, encaustic on found object, 11″ x 57”
“I’m always looking for the beauty in things that have been discarded,” says Bruce Turnbull. “As I get older, I realize how important Dr. Seuss is to a well-rounded education,” he adds.
A renovation and construction manager by day, Turnbull uses discarded materials from building sites to create his art. He works with beeswax and oil paints that are fused to the surface with heat. With a whimsical approach to his work, Turnbull’s subjects range from hockey players and skiers to angels and bumblebees.
“The inspiring thing about Bruce is that his artistic work starts in demolition,” says D. Mackinnon. “He remodels your house, salvages the surfaces, and paints intelligently executed images on them. It has been most satisfying, for us, that our old home lives on in the form of beautiful art on our walls.”
Bruce Turnbull graduated from the Ontario College of Art in 1998 and completed his MFA at the New York Academy of Art, NY. His art can be found in public collections including the National Portrait Gallery of Canada, the Colart Collection, Quebec and private collections in Canada, the US, Europe and Asia. He is a two-time recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Award, a Canadian grant given to emerging artists.
