Annie Terrazzo
Headlines
June 9th â July 1st
Opening Reception June 9th
On June 9th, we are very pleased to see the return of Annie Terrazzo to the Gallery with her new show Headlines. Â These strong and colourful images are painted on painstakingly assembled clippings of relevant headlines from newspapers from around the world. Â Topical and relevant, Annieâs expertly crafted work is exciting to behold and invites one to deeply consider the layers of subtext she presents with each piece.
Nima Lorris
Suspended in my Body
July 7th â 29th, 2012
Opening Reception: July 7th, 7-10pm
Communication is proud to bring you the debut works of Nima Lorris in the strong and mysterious series Suspended in my Body. Â Using, plaster, thread, twine, paper, and acrylic, Nima has created a body of work that is ethereal yet grounded in solid, real world objects we see and use every day. Â The sense of otherworldliness is compounded as many of her pieces hang suspended in midair, either in hammock like webs of rope or thrusting out from the walls. Â Her use of light colours is calming and peaceful, but there is always a sense that something has been left unfinished, that there is more to the picture than meets the eye.

New Works
September 21st â October 7th, 2012
Artist Statement:
âOur nation is uplifting, moving, inspiring. I need to tell all nations about us. I feel proud as collectors and non collectors look at my art and it moves their spirit for joy. When I paint, I feel my ancestors in my heart with pure love, and i bring all the goodness of our nation onto the canvas. We are a loving, proud people; a strong, kind people. When people see my art and laugh, feel good or cry, I like that because my art is healing and people feel enlightened. I have to pass on my art to the future.
My new work comes from when I had a heart attack. I felt moved how I got another chance in life. Iâm very grateful and I have to do more work to heal our world. My art is for the mind, body and spirit and not to judge other cultures or religions.
Live in peace, love and magic,
Jay Bell Redbirdâ
Jayâs modern approach to the traditional woodlands style is an amazing feat of precision and a striking use of colour. Do not miss these new works featuring Jayâs signatures of intricate detail, unconventional use of texture and unique representation of depth.

PRIVATE COMMUTE
Erin Brubacher and John Haney
May 1st-June 2
Opening Reception May 4, 7-10 pm
Featured Exhibition in the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography FestivalÂ
http://scotiabankcontactphoto.com/featured-exhibitions/771Â
For over ten years Erin Brubacher and John Haney have observed one anotherâs practices, each regarding the otherâs creative pursuits with curiosity, occasional skepticism and continuous admiration. Through the joining of their practices in Private Commute, they cross the borders of process and artifact that have defined their work up tothis point.
Haneyâs photography is formal and documentary in nature, most often concerning itself with notions of place. Brubacher has developed an invitational practice through photography and performance; creating situations through which to interact with participants/audience is key to her processes, which determine the results viewed or experienced by secondary audiences.
For this project, Brubacher and Haney give 20 people, encountered on their daily commutes in Toronto and Hamilton, the same two photographic diptychs, and ask that the recipients display them in their homes. A month later, the artists return to document these diptychs in situ, in the contexts in which their new owners have displayed them, through a series of large-format photographs.
The diptychs become windows on the private spaces of the people encountered in the artistsâ day-to-day public journeys â and the resulting installation, on display at Communication Gallery, plays with our conventional notions of exhibition and curation, bringing peopleâs private installations into this public gallery space.

"Domestic Vista"
Jeff Dywelska
Final Frontiers
January 6th â 22nd, 2012
Showing from the 6th of January till the 22nd, Communication presents the fantastical illustrative reflections of Jeff Dwelska on our obsession with excess. Â These long vertical works of acrylic on canvas show a strong illustrative style, selectively painted with bold rich colours. Â Hidden imagery can often be seen hiding behind the predominant painting and each piece seems to reveal something new each time itâs taken in.
From SLATE â âJeff Dywelska grew up in the apparent banality of suburbia. However, after years away from what he calls âa veneer of one size fits all solutions for optimizing consumption of cheaply made foreign goodsâ, he became aware of deeper resonances in the community and of the poignancy and importance of the substantial environmental and societal issues facing these outlying urban areas. In this show, Dywelska uses a combination of ideas taken from both the realities of his suburban environment and his own free association to create illustrative paintings which, though often humorous, make strong comments on the lifestyle of the modern suburbanite.â
Kristin Ledgett â Bones and Bluster
November 19th â December 3rd, 2011
Kristin Ledgett has been investigating the creative possibilities in the textile arts since completing her studies at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1996. Exploration into the fibre arts led her to several entrepreneurial ventures. In 1998 she co-founded âruckusâa textile design house in Toronto, dedicated to producing unique hand printed fabrics. She was also among the three co-founders of the very successful local artists event known as the DUDE.  An acronym for the Downtown Urban Design Event; the DUDE promoted the work of various artists and crafts people in Toronto in a biannual show that continued from 1998 to 2006. In 2005 Kristin collaborated to create The Knit Cafe.  Equal parts community centre, craft school, retail venture, craft gallery, and coffee house, the Knit Cafe opened itâs doors on Queen Street West in Toronto to promote and encourage the public to pursue its interests in craft. Since opening the Knit Cafe knitting has commanded much of Kristinâs creative attention. This has been reflected in her art practice.  She has been developing knitted art installations and exhibitions since 2007.
Since 2007 Kristin Ledgett has been creating hand knitted sculptures and art installations. Starting with the traditional techniques and conventions of knitting, she will reinvent their purpose to produce unexpected fantastical forms. The creations are intuitively created, sometimes starting with more traditional forms and breaking free from there.  Investigations  of contrast are important to the work. Hard forms are made soft, smooth objects become fuzzy, objects are often reminiscent of toys solely due to the materials and methods from which they are made. In this exhibition, âBones and Blusterâ, she has developed a series of pieces that take their inspiration from skeletons (the bones) and from storm clouds (the bluster). Wooly skeletons and hand crafted cloud formations are suspended in a mobile installation for this original and explorativeÂ

Alexandre Evgrafov
Opening mid-October
Alexandre Evgrafov was born in Baku, Azerbaijan.
At the age of five, Alexandre was already exploring the nature of colour, the drops of paint and its texture. For young Alexandre, there were two intertwining realities: one was the real world and the other was on the canvas (not less real). Both were beautiful, and each were inspiring the other.
At the age of 17, Alexandre moved to St. Petersburg, Russia. In 1981, he graduated from the Repin Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in St. Petersburg. Â After that he pursued his masterâs degree in the School of Graduate Studies at the Academy of Arts. This beautiful classical city and the atmosphere of the old Academy building greatly influenced his development as an artist.
Recognized early on by his professors, some of his early works are still on display in the Academyâs collection. Through the years spent in St. Petersburg, Alexandre participated in numerous exhibitions across Russia and in Europe.
Since 1991 Alexandre has resided in Toronto, Canada. Year by year his passion for painting grew and the artwork has become even more versatile. With a variety of techniques and media, Alexandre has created beautiful pieces that speak for themselves. Many of his drawings, encaustics and paintings have found great success in Torontoâs galleries as well as in Europe.
Much of Alexandreâs work is to be found today in museums and private collections. Museum of History of Leningrad, Russia, Academy of Fine Arts of Russia and Pushkinâs Museum in Francehave collected Alexandreâs paintings. Private collections have spread Alexandreâs works worldwide. His art was eagerly bought in USA, France, Germany, Japan, Israel, Finland, Italy, St. Lucia and the United Arab Emirates.
This October, Communication Art Gallery is pleased to bring you Alexandreâs latest body of work.
