Ila Kellerman
Trout on the Dock
July 1 - 31, 2010
The onset of summer commands its own visual vocabulary. Our Ontario landscape provides a palette and iconography that reaffirms afternoons on the dock and summons new memories of spruce, sun, fish and water. In her new series of works, Trout on the Dock, Ila Kellermann celebrates the best of the season. Her petroglyph influences anchor her compositions while layers of paint and incised lines compel us to join in the postcard we call summer.
