Madrona Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of paintings by Josh Wallace.

Midnight Walk is a collection of works centred around the theme of observation and finding different stories or meaning in the day-to-day, whether its the people we meet or places we go. Wallace creates a beautiful tension in his paintings, letting viewers unpack stories and mentally wander through the work, going on a sort of midnight walk of their own.

Madrona Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Madeleine Wood.

Focusing on closeups of nature, Wood's masterful use of rich, vibrant colours, creates warm and intimate canvases that invite the viewer directly into the abstraction of nature. She captures sharp, exquisite, and dramatic details and patterns often overlooked, with underlying themes of renewal and growth.

Born in BC, Madeleine Wood studied Fine Arts at Emily Carr Institute of Art and earned a Masters in Fine Arts from Concordia University in 1996. Her work has been collected extensively in Canada, the United States, Hong Kong and Europe. This will be her fourth solo exhibition with Madrona Gallery.

For this exhibition, Diana Thorneycroft created highly detailed drawings in response to recent world events.

Shawn O'Keefe & Collin Elder: Sight Visits

October 7 - 21
Opening Reception: October 7, 1-3 PM

Madrona Gallery is pleased to present “Sight Visits”, an exhibition of works by Shawn O’Keefe and Collin Elder.

In 2020, as the world slowed, Shawn and Collin began setting out on painting trips into the mountains, forests, and shorelines of southern Vancouver Island, to explore the experience of looking, to examine the structure of appearances, and to find the monumental in the details. These trips have been as much about conversations about life, as they have been about a continued pursuit of their painting practice and a conversation with the land. Sharing the lessons learned on these outings with one another have been at the heart of the creation of this collection of field paintings and studio explorations.
