Phil Carrière at Glass Roots Inc
2023-07-23 17:00 - 20:00 | Glass Roots Inc., 89 Canterbury Street, Saint John, New Brunswick, E2L 2C7, Canada
An evening with visual artist Phil Carrière featuring new works from his recent study in Venice! refreshments and light fare will be provided 5pm to 8pm accompanied by special evening glass demos.
learn about Phil’s process and ambitions in the maritimes and find out what drives the artist to travel the world collecting and presenting the images that he uses.
“I find it interesting that something has been around long enough to interfere with its original design and how it is viewed today. I also appreciate the tension between how it looks to whoever is caring for it and how it looks to me, because to me, the most appealing subject is old, crumbling down, and falling apart. That’s a problem as they will be erased from our lives one day.
My goal is to make them immortal through my art by celebrating the working-class heroes of the past, and by exhibiting the pride, patience, and dedication of those who built the world as we know it today. However, where the words end, the music begins. Everything in the universe has a rhythm. Everything dances. I try to convey the emotions and rhythms found in different musical styles into my art.
In my art, accentuated by a unique printing process, you will find a grand symphony of Beethoven, the raw sound of Delta Blues, the electrifying rumble of Hendrix or Page, and much more. A musical rhythm marks each image, but it’s so much more than photography. By using different work experiences in the woodworking and printing industries, I have the privilege of bringing those images to life with my own printing and framing process.”

VARIATIONS : An exhibition by Nat Cann
2023-07-07 16:00 - 19:00 | Spicer Merrifield Gallery, 116 Prince William St, Saint John, NB, E2L 2B6, Canada
Variations is a collection of Nat Cann’s aggressively colourful paintings both representional and abstracted. Each piece in some way speaks to the visual limitations of information, maximalist abstraction, escapism through digital environments, and the concerns of these fictitious worlds admit the dithering of our own habitation. Yet atop all these swirling notions rests the act of painting as a means of play, and perhaps meditation too.
BIOGRAPHY
Nat Cann (he/him) has exhibited across Canada, and has gratefully acted as a mentor,
instructor, and technical assistant to numerous students and professionals unversed in
printmaking. Nat has been granted numerous residencies and his recent print projects have
been intertwined with a variety of publications, exhibitions, and research grants. His work has
been consistently supported by ArtsNB’s funding programs and the Canada Council for the Arts.
Nat obtained his BFA from Mount Allison University (2012) and now resides in Moncton, New
Brunswick, an Acadian colonial city which sits on the unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik
(Maliseet) and Mi’kmaq People
