Doug Kirton's exhibition Recent Walks Alone at Michael Gibson Gallery features new paintings inspired by the landscape of Laurel Creek in Waterloo.
Using photographs to trigger a sense of place, Doug intentionally creates an image of reality, though abstracts the specificity of the landscape. The paintings are dreamlike, internal, comforting and provide a feeling of shelter, transporting us to another world.
The exhibition runs from September 17 to October 31 at Michael Gibson Gallery at 157 Carling Street, London, Ontario.
