Digital Dragon Meets Analogue Unicorn
Mitchell Weibe (Halifax)
November 5 - December 4, 2004
Opening: Friday, November 5, 8pm
Artists’ Talk: Saturday, November 6, Noon
Halifax painter and video artist Mitchell Wiebe presents large-scale oil paintings that fuse abstract colour fields with bizarre and beautiful human/animal hybrids, creating works that are playful and sinister, whimsical yet full of biting satire. Wiebe is an MFA graduate from NASCAD and has exhibited extensively on the East Coast in such galleries as the Owens Art Gallery, Sackville, Dalhouse Art Gallery, Halifax, Struts, Sackville and the Khyber, Halifax. These new figurative ‘carnivalesque’ paintings are saturated with are historical and pop culture references, painterly maximalism tempered by dark humour, abstract and textual elements and the deployment of unpredictable compositional strategies.
