Gallery at 129 Ossington

Laurie De Camillis

Winter on the Escarpment

February 3 - 27th 2010

In February, Gallery at 129 Ossington is please to exhibit a new series of landscape paintings in oil by Laurie De Camillis titled Winter on the Escarpment. In her newest works De Camillis explores the contemporary contradictions and paradoxes in landscape painting by featuring several large studies of willow trees in the snow near Devil’s Glen, a popular ski resort adjacent to the Niagara Escarpment.

As always her application of paint is fast and loose but does not lack the details required to show a memorable portrait of the land, the sky and the striking yet familiar colors of an Ontario landscape in all its seasons.

“I like my paintings to be individual but respectful of the original image. They become more like a portrait of their subject whether a tree, a ski hill or a barn. The subject carries in it a lifetime - its own history. The light and textures I paint, place it in time.” - Laurie De Camillis

Laurie De Camillis has been named - Artist to Collect - from the Harvest Issue 2010 of Arabelle
