🌿 NEW WORK ALERT 🌿

A fresh arrival from Shelley Brown has just joined The Pairing of Flora and Form at ECCO.

A Sunday in the Country
Shelley Brown
21" × 21" framed

Soft, atmospheric and full of movement, this new work captures the feeling of a summer landscape rather than simply describing it. There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about it, like remembering a long, unhurried Sunday spent outdoors.

Come see "A Sunday in the Country" in person, along with Shelley Brown and Holly Edwards’ beautiful collection of work in The Pairing of Flora and Form, on view at ECCO until September 20.

✨ Newly arrived and available at the gallery.

👀A Closer Look

Sometimes the most compelling parts of a work are the ones a photograph can’t quite capture.

Look closely and you begin to notice the surface, the subtle shifts in colour, the marks and textures, and the small details that reveal themselves slowly over time.

In Holly Edwards’ The Sun, the Moon, the Rain Will Carry You (24" × 30"), there is so much to discover beyond the first impression.

This work rewards a closer look and a reminder that experiencing art in person is very different from seeing it on a screen.

Swipe through for a closer view, then come see the full work for yourself in A Pairing of Form and Flora at ECCO Art Gallery.

Featuring Shelley Brown & Holly Edwards
On view through September 20.

🌸The Pairing | A Pairing of Form and Flora

At the heart of A Pairing of Form and Flora is a conversation between two distinct artistic practices.

Shelley Brown and Holly Edwards approach their work differently, yet when brought together, unexpected connections begin to emerge; between form and nature, structure and movement, texture and colour.

There is a wonderful rhythm and energy created as the eye moves from one artist’s work to the other. Organic shapes are echoed, contrasts become more apparent, and each piece seems to offer a new way of looking at the one beside it.

That dialogue is what makes this exhibition feel like a true pairing rather than simply two bodies of work sharing a space.

We invite you to spend some time with the exhibition and discover the connections for yourself.

On view at ECCO Art Gallery through September 20.

✨COMING TO ECCO | MARILYN GOSLIN: THE CHARACTER OF PLACE

This fall, ECCO Art Gallery Studios is delighted to welcome acclaimed Ontario painter, Marilyn Goslin back to the Peterborough and Kawarthas region for a very special exhibition, "The Character of Place".

For more than three decades, Marilyn has painted the places that capture her attention, familiar streets, architecture, gardens, forests and shorelines, transforming them through expressive colour, strong line, rich texture and an extraordinary sensitivity to atmosphere.

Her connection to this region is a longstanding one. Marilyn’s work has been exhibited in Peterborough and is held in the collections of the Art Gallery of Peterborough, Peterborough Regional Health Centre, Lakefield College School, Hospice Peterborough and private collectors.

For "The Character of Place", Marilyn brings together a diverse collection of work inspired by Peterborough, the Kawarthas, Northumberland, Muskoka and beyond, celebrating not simply how a place looks, but how it "feels".

We feel incredibly fortunate to be presenting Marilyn’s work at ECCO and cannot wait to share this exhibition with you.

✨ Artist Feature: Holly Edwards on Exhibit ✨

Gold leaf brings a luminous, almost alchemical quality to Holly Edwards’ richly layered works, catching the light and shifting as you move around each piece.

Through expressive mark-making, collage, colour and texture, Edwards creates compositions that feel both intimate and mysterious, inviting us to look a little longer and discover what is hidden beneath the surface.

See these works as part of "A Pairing of Form and Flora", featuring Holly Edwards and Shelley Brown, on view at ECCO Art Gallery until September 20.

Come experience the details, and the glow of the gold leaf, in person.
