TWO ARTISTIC VIEWS
An artist is bringing two different views of art to the walls of Plaskett Gallery for December.
Two Different Views, by Jacky Hosford, runs at the gallery from Dec. 1 to 24.
“I hoped to present several views on art, with well-known media such as oil, acrylic and ink in different formats, such as the fun of an abstract in acrylics and realism in oils. Both, for me, provide different reactions, impressions and moods,” Hosford says in an artist’s statement.
Hosford says abstracts are “pure fun” to create.
“For me, often they are all about enjoying colour and intricacies that make my mind want to look for connections and hidden details,” Hosford says.
Realism, meanwhile, is more inclined to create a mood, such as the solitude of a hidden beach.
An opening reception is set for Dec. 2, 2 to 5 p.m., and everyone is welcome.
Plaskett Gallery is at Massey Theatre, 735 Eighth Ave. It’s open Tuesday to Saturday, 1 to 5 p.m., during performances at the theatre or by appointment.
