Mike Weiss The Reflexive Self

June 28, 2010 by ArtJetSet

The current exhibition, The Reflexive Self at Mike Weiss Gallery features two of my favorite Canadian artists. Marc Séguin uses human ashes to create dark ephemeral portraits. Kim Dorland’s bright vivid forests of thickly layered painted canvases. The show as a whole is a bit incongruent, bringing together young artists working in a variety of media and themes.

Anselm Keifer Palmsonntag at the Art Gallery of Ontario

June 7, 2010 by ArtJetSet

The installation features a 30 foot long palm tree, cast in fiberglass and resin, surrounded by 44 glass framed painting compositions. True to Keifer’s pallet of using earth, organic matter, roots, and flowers in his vitrine like paintings, conveying spiritual and mythical territories.
