Exhibition description:

Anima Motrix v.2.0 includes collaborative artworks in ceramics, metals, and mixed media. The artists construct forms that capture, transmit, obstruct and redirect light, and are interested in how such elements may be brought into conjunction with each other to create novel experiences for the viewer to encounter. Without depicting a specific event, object or place, they aim to capture and hold the viewer’s attention, trigger the imagination, and address notions of conceptual and intellectual illumination.

About the Artists:

Trudy Golley and Paul Leathers are internationally active Canadian artists with extensive experience in education, residencies, and workshops across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Golley holds degrees from the Alberta College of Art, the University of Calgary (BFA), and the University of Tasmania (MFA), is an RCA and IAC member, and recently retired from teaching ceramics at Red Deer Polytechnic. Leathers studied at Sheridan College, NSCAD (BFA), and the University of Calgary (MFA), is an RCA member, and previously headed the Jewellery & Small Object Design program at the Kootenay School of the Arts.

Fingerprints: the Wildlife of Alberta in Watercolour

The pattern of spots on a Brown Trout’s scales, the way sunlight pierces through the eddies of a stream, the bits of wrinkled bark remaining on a weathered branch - all of these deserve a moment of contemplation. All preserve the fingerprints of the Creator. This simple watercolour exhibit hopes to inspire a sense of awe and appreciation for God’s design in this region of the world.

Lewis Lehman

Lewis Lehman is a realistic watercolour artist from Red Deer, Alberta. At just 16 years old, he draws inspiration from Robert Bateman, Carl Brenders and Dustin Van Wechel. Lewis’ love of creation, various outdoor activities and his wildlife biologist (and artist) father have influenced his artistic style and subject choice. Initially drawing inspiration from his father’s realistic wildlife drawings, Lewis continued to grow his skills from there. Lewis has won all three of the art contests in which he has participated, earning small money prizes and even a computer!
