Step into a world where feminine intuition meets the raw beauty of Ontario's landscapes. "Terrain of Intuition: Nature Through Her Eyes" invites you on a journey through the diverse vistas and hidden corners of Oakville and beyond, as seen through the discerning eyes of four remarkable female artists.
This extraordinary exhibition showcases a tapestry of perspectives, each canvas a window into the artists' unique dialogue with nature. From sweeping panoramas that capture the breathtaking expanse of Ontario's wilderness to intimate portraits of secluded forest nooks, every piece tells a story of connection, observation, and artistic vision. All these pieces are presented together on a tall statement wall like no other.
More About The Collection:
Four accomplished Canadian artists bring their distinct perspectives to this carefully curated exhibition of landscape paintings. Drawing from years of artistic expertise, they present both intimate natural moments and sweeping Canadian vistas that capture our country's diverse beauty.
The collection moves seamlessly between two complementary themes: close studies of hidden woodland corners and field passages, alongside broader views of our magnificent lakes and rivers. Each piece reflects a thoughtful observation of light, season, and place – creating a sophisticated dialogue between artist and landscape.
These seasoned painters have spent decades perfecting their craft, resulting in works that are both technically masterful and deeply personal. Their canvases offer viewers a chance to see familiar Canadian scenes through a fresh lens, whether it's morning light touching a remote shoreline or the subtle textures and mist of a forest clearing.
The exhibition demonstrates how four different artistic voices can illuminate the Canadian landscape in ways both surprising and familiar. Each painting invites you to pause, observe, and discover something new about our natural surroundings.
Join us for this elegant showcase of Canadian landscape painting, where experience and intuition meet on canvas to create something truly memorable.
Our featured artists bring their distinct styles and sensibilities to the forefront:
Cathy Groulx:
Known for her achievement of depth and presence in her paintings, Groulx use the old master's method of applying multiply layers of oil paint to capture and direct light throughout her paintings, creating intimate and peaceful scenes. Groulx achieve vibrant colours of Ontario's countrysides.
Adriana Rinaldi:
Rinaldi is showcasing a new style she has been developing, building on her base of experience using the methods of the old masters, applying thin layers of oil paint. Her thicker layers of oil paint allow the base painting colour to show through in strategic places, generating movement and energy in the painting. Vibrant strong and saturated colours emphasize the joy of the familiar scenes being depicted.
Anna Kutishcheva:
New to Savvy Art, Kutishcheva presents Oakville scenes in bold colours and carefully placed brush strokes. The style invites closer inspection and interaction, creating an element for the viewer of being a participant in the scene. As the viewer you wonder how did you miss such a beautiful scene when you last walked past it.
Kathleen Potter:
Potter gives us an abstract view of landscape with a softer voice, highlighting the beauty of the scene. Her paintings feature bold colour choices, purples, pinks and more, to delight the eye and give you a sense of playfulness and joy of the scene. Her horizontal rectangle paintings invite your imagining it over your sofa.
As you wander through the studio gallery, you'll witness how each artist's intuitive approach to their craft results in a deeply personal interpretation of our shared natural environment. The exhibition explores the subtle interplay between the rhythm of nature and the cadence of feminine creativity, offering a fresh perspective on landscapes we thought we knew.
"Terrain of Intuition" is more than an art show; it's an invitation to see our local landscape anew. It challenges us to look deeper, to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to reconnect with the natural world through the transformative power of art.
Join us for this celebration of nature, artistry, and the unique voice of women in landscape painting. Experience how four distinct visions can reshape our understanding of the terrain we call home.
