Gallery in the Grove
With a dedicated Board of Managers, a membership of hardworking individuals and the support of the community, Gallery in the Grove strives to move forward into the future with excellence.
Nestled among a grove of towering trees in Wildwood Park is the historic and stately Faethorne House built in 1875.
In 1980, a small group of people interested in establishing an art gallery were given permission to use part of the property and it became Gallery in the Grove on the upper floor of the building. The Bright's Grove Library occupies the lower floor. Gallery in the Grove is a non-profit organization operated solely by volunteers.
Our June Exhibition
GALLERY IN THE GROVE
presents
“GO FIGURE” and “LOVING ARMS”
featuring
PAT GIBSON and R. BRUCE FLOWERS
Go Figure (East Gallery)
Pat Gibson is an artist using mixed media painting on Mylar. Her use of semi-transparent Mylar is central to the layered creations of this series of her work. She draws the viewer into mysterious layers of Mylar and veils of colour and drawing marks on the Mylar surface often hide most of the image. She uses photographic images of Bruce Flower’s figurative sculptures to present her own drawings of joyous, angelic moving figures. Flowers sculptures express the emotions found in Gibson’s paintings.
Loving Arms (West Gallery)
R. Bruce Flowers is an acclaimed sculptor using clay as clay’s nature relates best to small forms and has a great sensitivity to small intimate places. His sculptures pose as rebuttals to stereotypical images of masculinity as power, dominance and aggression. Flowers mastery of drawing is clearly evident in his sculpture and expresses moving figures on a mysterious or dreamlike plane of existence.
