Margaret Chwialkowska

Beyond Borders: Exhibition of Fine Art from Canada
September 28 - October 18, 2007

Reception: Thursday October 4, 2007 6-8 PM

Press Release

Polish-Canadian artist Margaret Chwialkowska's paintings are drenched with color. Inspired by Canada's boreal landscape, particularly Ontario's rivers and the forests of Quebec, her work captures the drama of nature – surreal, magical, almost fantastic. She paints in the Alla Prima style using a palette knife, creating lusty sculpted scenes infused with light. One can divine the artist's sense of being overwhelmed by the beauty of the landscape she is painting.

Chwialkowska has a talent for nuance and balance; a thousand flecks of yellow climb the trunk of a spruce tree winding its way toward the top of the canvas, the sun casts long wavering fingers across a lake at dusk. It is in these details that we see the artist bewitched by the creative process. Chwialkowska has lived in Canada since 1979 and has shown her work in Ontario and Quebec. She has sold her work in both Canada and the United States.
