Waterscapes Exhibition on Display at Vaughan City Hall
Feb. 27, 2014
Waterscapes: Paintings by Ernestine Tahedl, the second annual exhibition in the Planet Earth Series, is now on display in the Vaughan City Hall Atrium Gallery. The exhibition coincides with two dates dedicated to championing international awareness of global conservation and environmental sustainability – Earth Hour on March 29 and Earth Day on April 22. The exhibition is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. until April 25.
Organized by Vaughan’s Recreation and Culture department, Waterscapes features recent acrylic paintings by internationally-acclaimed artist Ernestine Tahedl, an esteemed member of the Royal Canadian Academy and Ontario Society of Artists. These depictions of an idyllic natural world are conveyed masterfully through the artist’s signature control of colour saturation, intensity and luminosity.
Tahedl’s tranquil compositions are lyrical in mood. Paint and music converge to interpret the artist’s spiritual reverence for water. The transcendental beauty of nature is her inspiration. Tahedl’s exquisite symphonic paintings remind us that water is a fragile commodity and that we all share a vital role in ecological conservation as conscientious stewards of our natural resources.
