Fibonacci

Bruno Hernani

Feb 7th – Mar 28th, 2025

The concept of my art evokes to a geometry based figurative representation of reality. Growing up in Peru, I have always admired the synchronicity of ancient Inca temples, the symmetry, the precision, and the alignments of these structures with natural events. My painting style incorporates these elements. I use mathematical principles to depict the world as an interconnected system, where each element plays a role in each composition. I emphasize the use of numbers and geometry as mechanisms to achieve this interconnectedness. My art pieces result in the creation of repetitive patterns connected through geometrical shapes, presenting a new reality with structural forms and curvilinear shapes interacting together.

I have been developing this concept for a few years by exploring the connection between symmetrical forms found in nature and the free will to interact with it. My creative process follows this methodology, where I paint geometrical patterns followed by free hand painting, and then going back to paint geometrical patterns. I continue this process until I found a balance between these two forms of expression. In this methodology, the structure sequence represents the natural order that exists in nature, and provides me with precision to dive into a rational thinking process. On the other hand, the freedom symbolizes the spontaneous creation of life, and this allows me to express my art freely with no limits. 

By developing this concept, I am constantly exploring different blending techniques, experimenting different combinations of geometrical shapes, and ways to use and mix colours. The inspiration of my painting style strongly relies on Inca architecture and nature itself, specifically in their creativity and synchronicity. As I continue admiring what the Incas were able to create in connection to the natural world, I am continually learning and growing as an artist, observing and discovering further connections which provides me with limitless source of inspiration.

The paintings in the exhibition represent structures and life forms harmoniously connected by piano figures, musical symbols and geometrical patterns. The musical component incorporates rhythm as a property of a succession of events interplaying with life forms and its beginnings. The creation of each composition starts with the mathematical sequence of Fibonacci, where each number of the sequence is the addition of the two preceding ones. The geometrical representation of this sequence is depicted as a spiral. The composition of each painting shows the connection of the patterns found in the Fibonacci spiral, musical rhythm and life forms, ultimately representing the connection of art, music, and life.

Earth Bound

Madeline Greenway & Amy Snider

Feb 7th – Mar 28th, 2025

earthbound (adjective)
Pronunciation: \ ˈərth-ˌbau̇nd \

1
a: fast in or to the soil
earthbound roots
b: located on or restricted to land or to the surface of the earth

2
a: bound by earthly interests
b: PEDESTRIAN, UNIMAGINATIVE

In Earthbound, Madeleine Greenway and Amy Snider show very different works produced from the same piece of earth. Greenway’s garden in North Central Regina is the origin of this earth. The two engage with this site to convey a shared concern for the state of the environment through their differing vantage-points. Whereas Greenway’s drawings and prints celebrate the bounty of life that grows from her garden’s soil, Snider’s pieces engage the clay beneath it to convey the grief and anxiety that come with an understanding of the precarity of our survival on this planet.

Both Snider and Greenway feel the sadness and worry that comes along with caring for our world. Although they are separated by their chosen mediums and methods, they are bound by friendship and the desire to care for land and each other.

Submission Procedures

The EAGM welcomes proposals from artists and curators in all media for exhibitions or special projects for 2020 and onward. The gallery presents a diverse program of exhibitions, lectures and meetings with artists, and is involved in the production of curated exhibitions connected to themes developed by the EAGM. Together, the programs propose a critical reflection on contemporary art and culture. The gallery offers three exhibition spaces for artist proposals, and welcomes submissions from curators and artists on an ongoing basis.

​The gallery has two exhibition spaces (Gallery I and Gallery II). The EAGM provides professional technical services for selected projects. The EAGM pays fees to artists and curators in accordance with CARFAC standards. Submitted projects are assessed and recommended for program inclusion by the curator. Please note that unless requested, we do not notify artists when a proposal has been received, and it can take some time for a decision to be made. Artists are always notified as to whether their submission has been selected for exhibition. Please note that our schedule is currently full for the near future, although we are happy to receive proposals to keep on file for future consideration.
