Opening reception:
Friday, March 8 | 7:30 pm
The body of work on display came from Anne’s love of canoeing. She described her work as abstract landscape and tree images as metaphors for the concept of a journey exploring themes of memory, spirituality, pilgrimage and the space around us and the beauty of her surroundings. Her work reflects her memories from the past, especially many years canoeing through area through parts of Ontario, with Wild Cat Lake in the northern Haliburton Forest area, noted as a favourite. She still has eight canoes in various stages of repair. Each of the pieces in the show included a motif of a canoe, as seen from above, with all the ribs visible. She said, “it has become a symbol of my work.”
Anne Renouf studied Fine Art at the University of Toronto, specializing in drawing, painting and printmaking. Her mixed media works, abstract landscape and tree images, use image transfer, acrylics, and various drawing materials on canvas, panel and paper. Her works are metaphorical journeys, studying themes of memory, pilgrimage and the space around us, and reflecting the natural beauty of our surroundings.
