Kimberley Campbell and Ehrling White: Abstract acrylic paintings on canvas and board
Kimberley Campbell
Kim's method of working the medium of paint- layering, digging, rubbing, gauging - mirrors the process of an excavation.
Through multiple layering of paint, Kim builds up and reworks the surface, revealing and rediscovering areas.
Through this tactile, exploratory process she pursues an internal historical narrative, linking the past, present and future. While unearthing various stages of the paintings, she strives to create an atmosphere of unity and timelessness. Colour, shape and texture help to define her visual vocabulary. Kim applies her intuitive process, attempting to extract and express buried, perhaps long forgotten memories of the self and time.
Ehrling White
Toronto based visual artist Ehrling White carries on a family tradition in the arts. He attended school at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon, with a major in Painting, and moved to Toronto shortly after. Ehrling's painting style is improvisational and abstract, but quickly yields a plethora of perceived forms to the viewer’s imagination; his large compositions at first appear to be two-dimensional, Miró-like arrangements, but they quickly open up to great and surprising depths. Working from layers of gestures, washes, stencils, and other techniques, White explores the spontaneous generation and interaction of imaginary forms. In his current body of work, he is interested in the narrative and emotive power of simplified shapes, and their ability to create dramatic space.
