‘Body Doubles’ by Amanda Baron-artist reception

‘Body Doubles’ by Amanda Baron-artist reception

Aug 18, 2025

Please join us Saturday August 23rd at 4:30 to celebrate the opening of ‘Body Doubles’ by Amanda Baron.

In Body Doubles, Amanda Baron explores the tension between inner experience and physical form. There is a focus on reflection, transformation, and multiplication throughout the imagery and process. Each piece begins as a digital collage which becomes the framework for a digital drawing, and is then translated through paint, yarn or video. Some synthetic elements are lost in play while texture and tangibility are added.

With a focus on natural motifs, portraiture, and personal symbology, each piece glimpses into a surreal environment, acting as visual metaphors for emotional spaces.
A deliberate imbalance in scale and detail invoke the feeling of revisiting a memory – some aspects rendered with special attention and others flattened into bold graphic shapes. The figures are echoed in their surroundings, as a second body or emotional double.

The exhibit runs August 23rd through October 5th and is open during Blyth Festival box office hours or by appointment with gallery volunteers.

Over My Head And Under My Feet- an art exhibition by Greg Sherwood

Jun 13, 2024

A fascination with the natural world and an obsession with its changes of colour and form are both part of being a landscape painter. Greg Sherwood often finds himself caught between the shifting patterns of the sky and the tangled growth beneath his feet, compelled to document the forces that shape the patterns of each. This series of recent paintings indulges his compulsion to examine the natural and human forces that shape a particular environment and the desire to convey a strong sense of time and place. 

Join us for the opening reception June 15th at 6pm.
