The Artym Gallery welcomes painters Andrew Kiss and Branko Marjanovic. The artists will be in attendance for the opening reception Friday Aug. 2 from 5 to 7 p.m. and doing a painting demonstration Saturday Aug. 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
For over two decades, Andrew has travelled Highway 93/95 every year to art shows at the Artym. Most people have travelled this highway many times; his intent is to evoke one’s memory of a hike or special place. Along the way he usually captures the scene with a sketch or photo, then creates the paintings in studio. For this exhibition you will see his incredibly detailed paintings of Numa Falls, Kootenay River, and Olive Lake. Also at the show, there are high alpine works with animals, florals, and birds that look so real that you want to touch them!
Branko has also painted local favourite spots — the Bugaboos, Welsh Lake, Lake of the Hanging Glacier, and Cobalt Lake, just to name a few. He is fascinated by the effects of the light and shade found in nature, perfectly working his brush strokes with strong, vibrant colour.
Whether you have been there, or dream of going, this show is for you.
Everyone is welcome to the opening and then again for the art demo. Andrew will be working in oil, Branko in acrylic. You can view all of the paintings online at www.artymgallery.com The exhibition will continue until August 9.
