Calling You
Art by Kurt Swinghammer

Hatch Gallery‘s first exhibition of their 2021 season, Calling You, features new paintings created by brilliant mid-career artists Aidan Urquhart, Kurt Swinghammer and Kyle Clements during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

In this colourful show, Aidan’s works are an homage to the phone and, more to the point, communication. The iconic phone image harkens back to a time when “calling” each other was an event that required you to sit down, stay in place, and focus (much like our current pandemic era), while Kurt’s new paintings speak to a more universal Canadian “calling,” — the landscape. His body of work is a modernist interpretation of traditional subject matter evoking a Canadian experience. Swinghammer’s initial inspiration was combining the content of different generations of artists: the landscapes of the Group of Seven with the abstraction and colour fields of the Painters Eleven. His paintings reflect a contemporary relationship to nature.
This exhibition will be open June 12-July 5 for safe, controlled and distanced visits. Please note that a limit of 6 people will be allowed inside the Gallery at one time. As June is Pride Month, Hatch Gallery will be donating 10% of all sales to Discover YOUth at the Picton Library, an important organization that supports the local 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
