Discover the evolution of landmarks at Gallery@501
October 3, 2024
Gallery@501 is pleased to present “LANDWATCH - EVOLUTION” by Edmonton artist Lynn Malin. This exhibit is on at Gallery@501 from October 17 until December 14, 2024.
“We get to experience a unique environment by living in a specialized municipality with both urban and rural areas,” says Kris Miller, Gallery@501 curator. “This exhibit celebrates the beauty and resiliency of the local landscape and will resonate with many gallery visitors.”
In “LANDWATCH - EVOLUTION,” Lynn Malin takes viewers on a bird’s-eye journey over Strathcona County and surrounding areas. Large painted canvases of fields, trees, prairie grasses and rolling hills set the stage in the exhibit.
Using inspiration from aerial photographs, Malin captures the natural forms of the land along with the intersecting patterns of agriculture and infrastructure development. In her mixed media work, Malin uses prints from chain link fence, chicken wire, grates, meshes, lace and other grids to represent these patterns.
Many of Malin’s pieces are created on Lexan, a durable clear plastic that enhances the translucency of colour and light. She focuses on expressing the natural light that illuminates and animates the land, along with colourful seasonal changes and the effects of natural phenomena such as fires, drought and floods.
“These works will seem familiar,” says Malin, “Yet at the same time, evoke the universal — the interplay of humans and nature; the human imprint and order that’s imposed on nature’s glorious chaos.”
Join the artist for a talk and public reception at Gallery@501 on Saturday, October 19 at 1 p.m. Both the reception and gallery admission are free.
