A little turkey for Thanksgiving. 🦃

In “Europa” and “Ganymede”, Joe Coffey gives each bird a wonderful sense of character. One turkey spreads its wings with theatrical confidence, while the other seems caught mid-step. Their expressive postures stand against large coral circles that suggest celestial bodies, while the blackboards in the background, with their mathematical markings, introduce a scientific element.

The titles add another interesting layer. Europa and Ganymede are two of Jupiter’s moons, named after figures from Greek mythology. These grand mythological references offer an amusing contrast to Coffey’s rather earthbound subjects. It’s a meeting of realism, abstraction, mythology, and humour.

A remarkable arrival from Meghan Hildebrand. 10/10. ✨

Hildebrand builds the landscape through an accumulation of cabins, docks, trees, and water, layering pattern, colour, and repeated marks until the scene feels dense and expansive. The dark passage of water through the centre gives the composition its pull, while the whale adds a subtle sense of scale and depth the landscape.

New arrival: Unsettled Landscape no. 3 (Maplewood Road) by Nathan Birch, fresh from the artist’s studio.

This piece depicts a broad lawn beneath an immense, pale sky, flanked by dark cedars. Here, Birch renders the familiar with an undercurrent of unease.

Birch (BFA, Alberta College of Art and Design) has exhibited across Canada, with work in collections including the Canada Council for the Arts and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.

Clayton Anderson’s Down in the Cove opens this Saturday, September 26. Join us at Madrona Gallery for the opening reception from 1 to 3 pm. The exhibition runs through October 9.

Anderson has spent more than 40 years painting the West Coast. His contemporary approach to colour, line and form captures both the quiet of a sheltered cove and the scale of B.C.’s skies and islands. If you’re walking through Trounce Alley, you can see two of the paintings in our window ahead of the opening.

Images: Down in the Cove, 36 × 36 inches, acrylic on canvas (right); Thunderheads Over Bowen Island, 48 × 60 inches, acrylic on canvas (left); Soaring, 40 × 60 inches, acrylic on canvas.

Fresh work from Shawn O’Keefe’s studio. painted this summer in East Sooke. O’Keefe travels throughout Vancouver Island, painting the places he encounters along the way. In Bower Brake at Alldridge Point, O’Keefe frames the landscape with the deep, darker tones of tree branches and rocks, drawing the eye inward toward the open light at the centre, where light breaks through and meets the horizon. The result is this beautifully considered composition, where O’Keefe captures the West Coast and its shifting character with a balance of shadow and light.

We’re excited to announce “Down in the Cove”, an exhibition of paintings by Clayton Anderson, celebrating the landscapes of British Columbia. From quiet coves and forested inlets to expansive skies, islands, and mountain ranges, Anderson’s paintings capture the beauty, scale, and sense of discovery found in the places he knows so well. With a distinctive contemporary lens shaped by more than 40 years on the West Coast, his masterful use of colour, line, form, and rhythm invites the viewer to move through complex compositions and experience the monumental beauty of BC’s forests, seas, skies, and mountains.
