This gallery is well known for the collection of The Group of Seven. The landscape around the gallery is gorgeous as well. I came here not knowing that there is an exhibit of Mary Pratt. Wouldn't have known about this great Canadian artist if I wasn't here. Her paintings are stunning. They are so real and precise that I thought I was seeing the real objects. Her exhibition will be ended on April 27, 2014. An exhibition that shouldn't be missed!!
Quoted from gallery's website -
"Mary Pratt has become one of Canada's most distinguished artists, celebrated for her work with familiar subject matter and domestic still lifes. The deceptively simple bliss of these scenes reveals a sophisticated approach to everyday life. Her works are skillfully executed and present nuances of tone, brushstroke, angle and choice of subject that leave viewers of Pratt's images with a sense of wonder and occasional unease. These substantial artworks have multi-layered meanings for the artist, and for the viewers who encounter the range, subtlety and power of this remarkable painter. At once highly contemporary and deeply rooted in the traditions of art history, Pratt's work reveals the breadth of emotion, skill and maturity that she brings to her practice."
