 Leonard Brooks Works From the 60's and 70's 2/23/2013 - 3/9/2013 Opening Saturday, February 23, 1-4 pm It is with great pleasure that Rumi Galleries announces its upcoming exhibition of works by Leonard Brooks from the 60’s and 70’s. Born in London, England, Brooks came to Toronto with his parents at an early age. For a year, he took evening classes at the Toronto Central Technical School (c. 1928) and at the Ontario College of Art for six months under Frank Johnston. He then traveled and painted in England, France, Spain, and in the United States at Woodstock, New York. On his return to Canada, he settled in Toronto and in 1935 married Reva Silverman. He taught drawing, painting and graphic arts at the Northern Vocational School, was active in art circles and participated in most of the major exhibitions in Canada and the U.S. He joined the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve in May 1943. During his posting as a war artist (August 1944 - May 1946), he painted the movements of an aircraft carrier in the waters of Scotland and the activities of mine sweepers and motor torpedo boats in the English Channel off Normandy. Following his discharge, he went to Mexico on a grant to study and decided to take up residence there with his wife Reva. There he developed an abstract style using collage, acrylic, watercolor, oil and casein that is used in his work from the 60's and 70's. His work is represented in the Art Gallery of Ontario, National Gallery of Canada and the Mexico City Museum of Modern Art. |
 Past Meets Present 4/11/2013 - 5/4/2013 Opening, Saturday April 13, 1 - 4pm. Rumi Galleries in pleased to announce its annual exhibition of Past Meets Present.

 Linda Martinello - Amorphous Arenas 9/15/2012 - 10/6/2012 Opening Saturday, September 15, 1-4 PM The series Amorphous Arenas is based on recently visited cultural and natural heritage sites in the American Southwest and the Canadian West Coast. The landscape series are composites of memory and observations of geographic and geological details encountered in the mountains, cliff crevices, and in russet plateaus. These details are an attempt to create centers of attraction, focal points to evoke a sense of familiarity in the viewer. As cues they serve to pull the viewer into recognizable and tempting shapes reminding them of stairways, caves, or lakes that they themselves might have seen somewhere. Linda Martinello recently completed an MFA at the University of Waterloo and received an Honours BA from the University of Toronto. She has studied, lived and worked in Italy, Mexico and in New York City. Over the years Martinello’s travels to Italy, Mexico, Ireland, Turkey, Greece and France have provided her with the visual material to create extensive series of works on Mylar. Her work is located in public, private and corporate art collections including Art Gallery of Peel, The Dononvan Collection, BMO Financial Group, Encana, TD Bank Financial Group, TD Waterhouse and TELUS. She is the recipient of several grants and awards including a SSHRC Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship, a University of Waterloo President’s Graduate Scholarship, and the Shantz Fellowship Award. |
 MARK JEFFREY - NORTHERN LIGHT 11/29/2012 - 12/20/2012 Northern Light expresses the classic Ontario duality between urban and rural. Mark Jeffrey has spent the last year doing what many in the Golden Horseshoe do on a regular basis, escape to the wilderness. Ever present throughout his work is the dichotomy of everyday life and impending urban sprawl. Children are depicted playing hockey with ghostlike outlines of houses encroaching upon their pond, trees are scratched into paint as if they were shadows of a previous landscape and simple moments in life are imbued with a solemn undertone. This imagery, a cornerstone of Mark’s work, is juxtaposed in Northern Light with rural depictions of Northern Ontario as an expression of escape from the impending urban sprawl; an escape that Mark has experienced firsthand by exploring the landscape surrounding his family’s cottage. |
