Studio 1234 Presents:
Landscape Paintings by Various Artists

June 21 – July 4 Reception: Saturday, June 21 at 3 pm – 5 pm
The beauty of nature has always been a source of inspiration for artists. Art lover’s only need to look at Claude Monet’s images of gardens and fields and the works of George Inness, Durand and O'Keefe to realize that each had their own interpretations and visions of landscapes and nature. The Group of 7 became famous for their contribution to the art world with their unique and awe inspiring artwork. Styles and techniques have been studied and taught from one generation to another among masters like Durand, Cole, and Innesswith each succeeding to further their artistic development by honing skills built upon their predecessor. Other artists develop a totally revolutionary style of expression all on their own. No matter how the technique was acheived landscape and nature continues to inspire the creative soul. To continue this tradition, Studio 1234 is presenting an exhibition of artist’s works inspired by the beauty of nature and landscapes. It is our aim to share the beautiful works of art by a collection of current Canadian artists and their retrospective impression of nature and landscapes. We sincerely hope the public can attend to enjoy this exhibit.

La beauté de la nature a toujours été une source d’inspiration pour les artistes.

Les amoureux de l’art ont seulement besoin de regarder les images de jardins et de champs de Claude Monet et les œuvres de Georges Inness, Durand et O’Keefe pour réaliser que chacun d’eux avaient ses propres interprétations et visions des paysages et de la nature.

Le groupe de sept est devenu célèbre pour sa contribution dans le monde de l’art avec leur respect unique mêlé de crainte inspirant le travail de l’art.

Les styles et techniques ont étaient étudiés et apprient d’une génération à une autre parmi les maîtres comme Durand, Cole et Innesswith.
Cela en réussissant davantage leur développement artistique par des raffinements de compétences sur leurs prédécesseurs.

D’autres artistes développent un style totalement révolutionnaire de toutes les expressions qu’ils possèdent.
Peut importe comment les techniques ont été accomplies paysages et nature continuent d’inspirer l’âme créative.

Pour continuer cette tradition, Studio 1234 présente une exposition des œuvres d’artistes inspirés par la beauté de la nature et des paysages.
