<\/a><\/p>\nSTM Gallery is pleased to present a selection of recent work by Cory Chad and Denise Flaman, both from Prince Albert, SK. We hope you can join us on Thursday, July 5th at 7pm for our opening reception.<\/p>\n
A significant detachment from everyday life is required for exploration.\u00a0 The art studio is treated like a laboratory or a confessional.\u00a0 The artist goes in to experiment and wrestle with her materials, hoping to extract the truth.\u00a0 Being in ones studio is not about working in a place of safety, or being assured success.\u00a0 It is about being respectful towards the idea of \u201cprocess\u201d and having a willingness to develop patience for unresolved expectations.<\/p>\n
This exhibition includes pieces from workshop experiences at the Prince Albert Arts Centre, the drawing studio at the University of Saskatchewan, and the artists\u2019 home studios.\u00a0 Although Cory and Denise work separately, their art reflects an ongoing conversation.\u00a0 There is a shared appreciation for a sense of rawness, a dryness of colour, and for the subject matter to be rendered in an unusual manner.<\/p>\n
To see,
\nTo look,
\nTo gather.<\/p>\n
Even when not painting, there is an enthusiastic documentation of ideas. This does not stop.<\/p>\n
To forget that time exists.\u00a0 She\u2019s covered in charcoal, it\u2019s now dark and the lights are off in the rest of the house, and husbands need to be fed.\u00a0 This is what happens when two minds go offline.<\/p>\n
Cory Chad<\/p>\n
Cory Chad was born and raised in Prince Albert, SK. She discovered her love of art in junior high school when she drew her first still life.\u00a0 Throughout the past seven years, Cory has focused on drawing and painting classes at the University of Saskatchewan.\u00a0 She has been fortunate to receive instruction from Alison Norlen, Graham Fowler, Allyson Glenn, Terry Billings and George Glenn.\u00a0 She has also taken workshops from notable artists such as Degen Lindner, David Alexander, Grant McConnell, Iris Hauser and Kim Ennis. Acrylic is her medium of choice but Cory has also worked with oil, charcoal, ink and pastel.<\/p>\n
Her exhibition \u2018Offline\u2019 with Denise Flaman, was held in February 2018 at the John V. Hicks Gallery in Prince Albert. She has participated with the KYLA group at the Mann Art Gallery and exhibited her work at Amy\u2019s On Second Restaurant, The Bison Caf\u00e9 and the John M. Cuelenaere Library. The Mann Art Gallery in Prince Albert has purchased four of her works for their collection, including \u2018Thin Skinned\u2019, which was featured on the cover of their Permanent Collection 2012 Calendar.

Denise Flaman<\/p>\n
Denise Flaman lives in Prince Albert. She discovered her interest in art during her high school years in Regina, where she was raised. She has been painting for fifteen years in oil, acrylic and various drawing mediums.\u00a0 She began by taking classes with Christina Thoen in Prince Albert. She has since studied drawing and painting at the University of Saskatchewan, taking courses in Prince Albert and Saskatoon. She has received instruction from George Glenn, Terry Billings, Graham Fowler, Allyson Glenn and Alison Norlen.<\/p>\n
Her studies have led to observations of \u201cpractical life scenes\u201d and of the use of painting and drawing materials to emphasize composition, colour and mark making.<\/p>\n
Denise has participated in group exhibitions at the Red Door Gallery at the Bison Caf\u00e9, the John V. Hicks Gallery at the Prince Albert Arts Centre and the Grace Campbell Gallery at the John M. Cuelenaere Library also in Prince Albert.\u00a0 In 2016, The Mann Art Gallery of Prince Albert purchased a painting for their permanent collection.
