Between Heaven and Earth, NEW SHOW

October 24, 2007

NEWS RELEASE – Brampton, Ontario, October 22, 2007

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH, there is an abundance of beauty and wonder to stir awe in hearts and minds. This show, through a variety of media which includes paintings, hand made prints and sculptural forms, allows the two artists: Susan McCrae and Rose Marie Nicolucci to share their exploration of the beauty and wonder through recent works. Each is inspired by her own unique interpretation of natural phenomenon and fascination with universes, both real and imagined.

Rose Marie Nicolucci presents works which evoke beauty in small and peaceful vistas. Her larger paintings are awe-inspiring panoramas that she has sketched on-site, in her travels. She earned both University and College degrees in Fine Arts and has studied with notable Canadian artists Ronald Bloore and Gordon Rayner. Her work has been exhibited in solo shows and group shows throughout the GTA.

Susan McCrae shows work depicting imagined galaxies and exciting astral phenomenon, in paintings and original prints. Working with the same theme, she has crafted 3 dimensional wire mesh hangings which in fact are ‘single dimensional’ with one continuous edge = Möbius strips. These shapes have fascinated mathematicians for a century and a half. Susan’s interest in the strips is artistic and she will demonstrate how they are made at the opening. Visitors can amaze themselves, making their own of paper - to take away.

Paintings in mixed media, hanging sculptures and prints will be on display from Nov. 27 to Dec. 8, 2007 at Beaux-Arts Brampton’s Main Gallery, 70 Main St. N., Brampton; 905 454-5677 www.beaux-artsbrampton.com Gallery hours are noon to 6 pm Mon. to Fri., 9 am to 3 pm Sat. Come and meet the artists at opening reception 5 pm to 9 pm Thursday, Nov. 29th.
