• The Great Outdoors is a celebration of the Canadian landscape and the many ways we inhabit and experience it: from kayaking  and fishing trips to picnics  and passing down our stories shaped by encounters with animals and the land itself. Bringing together work by Edward Burtynsky, Steve Driscoll, Ann MacIntosh Duff, Greg Hardy, John Hartman, Charles Meanwell, and Tom Wilson Tehohàhake, The Great Outdoors features paintings, photography, and works on paper created en plein air and in their studios. This exhibition is on view at the gallery from Saturday, July 11th through Saturday, August 8th.

    Much of Ann MacIntosh Duff's work was  centered around her life on Georgian Bay. Until very late in her life, MacIntosh Duff returned annually to a cottage on her beloved Scotch Pine Island where she lived by herself for three months, watching, listening and painting. The cottage had no running water or electricity so MacIntosh Duff would saturate her watercolour paper by dipping it in the lake.

    "The Eastern shoreline of Georgian Bay is my home landscape. It is where I grew up and where I currently live. It has given me my sense of scale, light and form. When I travel, I compare all other landscapes to it. When I paint it, in its bright, hard summer light or during wild onshore winds, I feel entirely at home." - John Hartman

    Steve Driscoll's first formulations of what a landscape could be occurred during his childhood on canoe trips with his family. For this body of work, Driscoll scoured his extensive archive of photographs taken on tripsthrough Algonquin, Killarney, and Temagami in search of images of more quiet, intimate moments along the way.
