Action | August 1 – September 2

Sculptures and paintings depicting action, in all forms by Sechelt artist, Jone Pane, who also takes care our our great resource library which all members are welcome to come and use.

Jone Pane began painting figures in action in order to boost her own energy, she said. The walls are covered in brush stroke figures not unlike Chinese characters and they are moving through all kinds of martial arts, dancing, giggling, or performing tai chi.

“I’m not that good with language,” she said, pointing at one of her paintings titled, It is Written. “This is my language,” and she waves a hand at the many works.

The gallery has embraced the idea of action paintings for the month of August and has scheduled activities such as karate, NIA and fencing that are open to the public. The Coast Martial Arts Club shows a few of their moves, Paul Blakey demos Wild Goose Qigong. Marlene Lowden attempts to mesh art and yoga in an interesting two and a half-hour workshop designed to help you rediscover and liberate your creativity.
