Middle Ground new work with Jane Harington and Dawna Rose

Events, Art Shows and Exhibits

Art Placement is pleased to bring together recent works by Jane Harington and Dawna Rose, two Saskatoon-based painters mining the fertile middle ground between abstraction and representation.


The Gallery/artplacement until June 22


Both artists work mostly in oils with stylistic vocabularies that are loose, gestural, and painterly. Over the course of their careers, Harington and Rose have each explored a number of subjects and genres, including landscapes, still-lifes, florals, and figures. Recently, and independently of one another, both artists have been making work that is increasingly abstract. Their paintings maintain some connection to recognizable subjects, though that connection often slips away as the works become more about feeling, intuition, visual play, and aesthetic balance, and less about depiction or representation. The resulting works are colourful, dynamic, and engaging. The lingering essence of a subject gives the works some grounding, a sense of where the paintings began. The finished paintings allow us to appreciate the creative journey that brought each work to its conclusion.
