Roly Fenwick, Painter
Rock fossils at Big Bay have caught Roly Fenwick’s imagination. This July at Gibson Gallery in London we’ll see for the first time his new paintings inspired by ideas about origins, nature, ‘runes’ and marks, great philosophical themes that Roly Fenwick has explore throughout his seven decade long artistic career. If any of us are aware of our context, our environment, we can certainly identify with an artist who pays such close attention to his personal relationship with the world around him, be it almost in microcosmic or macrocosmic detail.
Circle Arts presents a selection of Roly Fenwick’s watercolours that offer insights into the nature of the Bruce Peninsula for our delectation and lasting contemplation.
Roly Fenwick has also contributed an essay to a new publication about fellow artist/educator Hugh Mackenzie by Ronnie Kaplansky.

Chris Snedden, Ceramic Artist
Circle Arts introduces a new ceramic artist this season. Chris Snedden’s ceramic vessels are his ‘canvas’ for personal landscapes that enthral and delight. Applique creatures, fish and insects accompany historic figures in natural settings, all related to the land and evocative of stories that stir our imaginations. This slip transfer process is a natural fit for depicting scenes that snuggle into the shapes of these functional as well artistic ceramic artworks. Watch for a blue feather that symbolizes ‘realizing desires’.

Sandra Noble Goss and Andrew Goss of Owen Sound show their contemporary jewellery in silver, concrete, brass, copper, bronze and cellulose acetate across Canada. oStylus is a new drawing stylus for the iPad, iTouch, iPhone and other touchscreen devices invented by Andrew Goss in 2010. This sensitive drawing stylus is made of aluminum, titanium and stainless steel, and allows the user to see the line and colour being used through a hinged contact area. Because it is designed by a jeweler for drawing and sketching on the iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and other touchscreen (capacitive) devices, this new stylus allows you to see lines and colours as they are being drawn. The open contact O is also hinged so that it lies flat against the screen no matter how the stylus is held.
