Oil Paintings by Marc-andre' Brzustowski
The Tropic of Eyeland
Manitoulin Island and the North Channel -- the artistic latitudes that hold me. A place full of painting places. A beehive -- a refuge from the sting of winter. A broken shoreline holding up an endless sky. Stare into the sun. An escarpment, a silhouette, a mountain range, an inland sea. Celebrate the beauty that surrounds. These are painted pictures, scenes of local scenes inspired by the light and power that they radiate, like the people that brought me here. Thanks to Boo Watson, Elisha Sidlar, Josh Peltier, and everyone at the Debajehmujig Creation Centre, without whom this exhibit would not have been possible.
These paintings were all painted since the summer of 2010 when I moved to little current. The small panels were painted plein air while the larger works were done in studio based on the outdoor studies. The fifteen paintings on mylar were painted in April and May of this year.
Thank you for coming to the show. I hope you enjoy the paintings.
