"Profile + Silhouette"

Quest Project Gallery 
March 21st - May 24th, 2025

We challenge you to create artworks that focus on the interplay of profile and silhouette. Consider how these visual tools can be used to convey emotion, narrative, and meaning through the stark contrast of light and dark, shape and void. Explore the subtle nuances of a profile, capturing the essence of a subject with minimal detail, or embrace the dramatic simplicity of a silhouette, where form speaks volumes without a single line of internal detail.

Intake: Tuesday, March 18th, 2025 (10:00 AM to 4:00 PM) 
Opening Reception: Friday, March 21st, 2025 (7:00 PM to 9:00 PM)

"Living In Cities"

March 21st - May 24th, 2025

“I love cities,” says painter and printmaker Ross Skoggard. “And I’ve been privileged to live in some of the most fascinating ones: Paris, New York and Toronto. “Each has its own rhythm and flow. I started painting New York in earnest when I learned I was leaving it for Toronto in 1986. New York was already changing rapidly, and I wanted to document a time and place I’d loved for over 10 years."

“Paris and Toronto were mostly painted from photographs more recently.

“I hope you can feel something of the vibe of each town from my paintings.

“Happy travels.”

“It is the common things that compel me to paint; busy streets, the factories, the harbours. This is where people live their lives, a place where I can speak in paint and record the humble beauty of the simple things around us.”
