Between House and HomeSonja Kobrehel Leaving political and economic turmoil in eastern Europe for calmer waters in Vancouver has brought forth bright, colorful, somewhat whimsical paintings for Sonja Kobrehel of German-Hungarian ancestry. Kobrehel, whose work has been exhibited in Hungary, Yugoslavia, Poland, Spain and Japan to both public and critical praise. In studying the evolution of her work, one notes Kobrehel's interior perceptions and attitudes steadily evolve. As the artist says: "I am constantly searching (within and) about for something new." The changing attaractions include script from the ancient Hungarian alphabet (called Rovasiras). Very often these new creations seem to float, fly, dance, undulate-even swim-against a background expanse of subtly mixed colors and hues, many very brilliant. Feb 3 - 28 2010 reception Wednesday, Feb 3, 7:00 - 9:00pm 
25 Years of LifeLife Drawing Group Twenty-five years ago, a group of Sunshine Coast artists got together in Roberts Creek to draw the nude model, a practice which has been a standard part of artistic training for centuries. Since then, artists have come and gone, venues have shifted, and opportunities for life drawing have increased, but the original drawing group has continued its practice, most recently at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre in Sechelt. These new vigorous drawings are in various traditional drawing media, and their hallmarks are spontaneity and immediacy. They have been untouched by the artist after the modelling session and therefore show the very freshest impression of the human form which the human artist can bring to bear. The drawings are unframed and literally "paper" the walls of the exhibition space, atelier style, resulting in a vibrant celebration of the diversity of the human form. |
