Three Peas

HatchGallery announces its first show of the season, Three Peas, on display until June 28th, 2024, and all are invited to a very special Opening Reception on Sunday, June 9th from 2-4 PM. This exhibition features brand new paintings by three incredible senior Canadian artists: Dr. Paul Kelly, Paul Sloggett RCA, and PEC-based artist Pamela Mayhew. Exclusive to HatchGallery, this brand new show offers a captivating fusion of artistic styles and perspectives for all who attend.

Whether you’re drawn to the monumental presence of Paul Sloggett RCA’s bold new abstract paintings or the colourful graphic punch of Dr. Paul Kelly’s works under glass, or the many diverse styles of Pamela Mayhew’s gorgeous Canadian landscapes, everyone will enjoy celebrating the power of the Three Peas!

Meet the artists during the Opening Reception, where Paul Sloggett and Pamela Mayhew will present a short talk on the topic of “inspiration” at 2:30 PM.

Pamela Mayhew is a Canadian artist based in Prince Edward County, known for her lively abstractions that feature bold, gestural brushstrokes and a joyful palette. Current works allude to land and waterscapes of Ontario while abstracting the image to allow the viewer room to interpret the compositions according to their own life experiences.

Dr. Paul Kelly is a Toronto-based artist working in drawing, painting, and print to explore the interaction of colour and geometric form. He is a graduate of the Bolton College of Art and Design, Manchester UK (1972), holds a Masters Degree in Art and Art History from University of Wayne State, MI (1977), and a PhD in Education and Semiotics from University of Oregon, OR (1989). Kelly started two Art Departments during his extensive academic career, one in Medicine Hat College, Alberta and one at Nipissing University, North Bay, before retiring in 2014.

Paul Sloggett, AOCA, RCA, graduated from the Ontario College of Art in 1973 and was awarded a Teaching Assistantship Scholarship to work under the direction of Royden Rabinowitch chair of Experimental Art. Paul taught Drawing and Painting as an Assistant Professor at York University from 1977-1985. He joined OCAU as a faculty member part time in 1978 and in 2001 became a full Professor of Art in Drawing & Painting. Paul retired in 2022.
