OPENING SOON
"Our Stories" by Janice Tanton and Neepin Auger -
Janice Tanton (b. 1961) is a senior artist known for her depictions of Canadian iconography. From iconic scenes of Rocky Mountain vistas, cowboys on bucking broncos and elegant Appaloosas, to Indigenous subjects such as the canoe, tipi, totem, buffalo robes and the ‘Trickster’ narrative, Tanton is an artist who captures key signifiers of the Western Canadian cultural fabric. These days, she weaves her love of horses, nature, and Indigeneity into her paintings, themes that have developed from her original works featuring idyllic Victorian homes of her native Ontario.
Neepin Auger is a Cree artist who uses bright monochromatic colour as a stage for her striking paintings. Meticulously executed in acrylic and, at times gold leaf, Auger integrates geometric patterning into the fabric of her compositions, creating rhythm as a background to her protagonists, whether animal, figurative, or biomorphic, which dramatically occupy the canvas. Through the application of lines and dots in subtle tones, her protagonists whether animals, the human figure or biomorphic entity, are highlighted in the foreground.
