John Ancheta: Aquacades
Aquacades:
Battat Contemporary is pleased to present Aquacades, a series of paintings by John Ancheta. This latest series, all produced in 2009, embodies a clear shift and maturity in Ancheta’s emerging practice. Almost monolithic in nature, the paintings solidly reverberate the humid depths of water-laden landscapes while simultaneously capturing their disintegration. Particles break away from the mass, hazily drifting apart in a pixilated staccato of movement.

A Curious Development: new mixed media sculpture
This new series of mixed media sculptures has developed through Eva’s exploration of both industrial materials (concrete and wire mesh) and organic fibres, namely bamboo, reed and handmade paper pulp. The contrasts and similarities of these chosen elements reflect the influences and observations from Ennist’s latest travels to South East Asia. The dualities of heavy and light, dense and open, natural and manmade, inherent in her materials, have also been compelling motivators in the development of this new work.

Anat Betzer - Purple Rain
Anat Betzer paints snow fields, dark morbid deep forests, huge trunks and wooden huts. The layers which cover, drip and "dirt" the painting's surface, hint this is not an innocent landscape, but rather one which hides, potentially at least, archaeology. She paints a forest, as an icon or a concept, draws it in details, under every kind of light and in many aspects, examine each and every leaf. This is the artist's first solo exhibition in Canada.

The Fall of Doon Twine is an exhibition of new work by Kitchener-based artist, Patrick Cull, marking his first solo exhibition at Peak Gallery.

The show is comprised of shaped epoxy paintings and a series of gravity paintings. Both series of works are constructed from materials and processes that Cull has borrowed and refined from his experience in the commercial sign-making industry.

Musings
Asoudeh Novin, originally from Tehran, says her greatest inspiration has come from several years of travel in Europe while she was based in France in the 1990s. Experiencing art as part of life on a daily basis made a lasting impression on her, causing her to begin painting professionally. Novin’s compelling figurative works show her subjects in their most contemplative state allowing us to experience the intimacy of a quiet moment. While the subjects may appear one way to us, we can never know the true complexity within. The expansion of these ‘musings’ is evident in the intricate movement and colour renderings of Victoria based artist Marilyn Chapman. Her work is a culmination of the cloudscapes she watched in the Manitoba skies of her youth and the organic flow of the BC Coast where she now lives. Chapman believes that life moves through us and through all that is living. Her work explores the delicate, yet complex life systems upon which we all rely.
