Previous Exhibit
A brand new exhibit featuring the work of carved stained glass artist Bruce Hall and the 'chinese brush painting ' art of Wee Lee, will be unveiled at The Gallery on the Lake on Saturday June 16,2007. The Gallery has been showing the unique works of Bruce Hall since 1992, during which time over 450 pieces have passed to proud new owners. Bruce sandblasts single sheets of multicolored stained glass to expose differing colors in lower strata in the sheet and alter the reflective properties of the top surface. The resultant rendering is mounted and framed in the conventional manner to produce original wall hangings. As well as being a unique art medium, each piece is an original. Varied designs include subjects in symbolism, wildlife, wilderness, and nature. The exhibit will feature samplings in these groups, with the highlight of this exhibit being more recent works of an intuitive nature.
Wee Lee is a Regina-based artist with a very unique vision. Lee was born and educated in Saigon, Vietnam. There, his interest in nature and art came together as he studied Chinese brush painting at the Oriental Art School Lee's paintings are characterized by loose, atmospheric backgrounds and foregrounds of precisely detailed plants and animals living in harmony with one another. He uses acrylic paint on silk to create long lasting, luminous vibrant images.
