IN THE BREW GALLERY FIRESIDE ROOM

The Brew Gallery's Fireside Room is now featuring a new exhibit by Vernon artist Angelika Jaeger. Using a primary colour palette in her Color is Power series, Jaeger references the female form with subtle artistic line in 'Female Flower' and continues the series with images titled 'Flower Power' and 'Power Color'. The three original artworks were created with mixed media techniques and acrylic on 24"x24" canvasses. Three more artworks are also on display from her Migration series until February 2nd.

2 BOLD NEW EXHIBITS AT BREW GALLERY

On exhibit from January 4 to February 2, 2012 are two bold exhibits from Okanagan artists Ed Eaton of Summerland and Anjelika Jaeger of Vernon.

'SATISFACTION' features 20 edition prints on canvas by Eaton in Brew Gallery's Main Gallery. The work was chosen by Curator River Lewis from a decade's production of computer-aided mixed media process. Eaton brings scanned material textures, found objects, and virtual spaces into a collection of lively and flexible storylines.

'COLOUR IS POWER' features 6 handmade works on canvas by Anjelika Jaeger in the Brew Gallery's Fireside Room. The theme of colour relating to personal energy and vitality anchors Jaeger's mixed media process with line, shape, and predominant use of primary colour in the Color Is Power Series exhibited.
