November Art: Looking to nature for guidance

Dave Smith

Heather Gartside is a storyteller and photographer compelled to record what she sees and how she feels and reacts.

At Galleri Upper Canada this autumn, the British artist and writer is presenting an exhibition of landscape photography.

The photographs look to nature for guidance, finding a healing power and resilience in wild places.

“I use my own experiences as material, plus a dash of magical realism and a large pinch of salt,” she explains.

Kristín Gunnlaugsdóttir’s bleak leather works and Margrét Jónsdóttir’s ceramics are united under a common theme: the empty abyss of blackness, where all light and colour goes to decay.

Lars Physant: Serendipia

In the social media age, Physant believes the key to a successful online presence can be found in modern painting. He breathes new life into old art, fragmenting and then rebuilding it.

Wrånes creates a dreamlike parallel universe through her surreal installations and sensational performances. Hovering creatures, the artist herself in costume – it’s anything goes.
