About The Event
Local Artists Come Together to Capture the Essence of McGregor
La Galleria is proud to present “Coalescence,” a group exhibition featuring five local artists and their unique interpretations of life in the village of McGregor. Opening October 7th and running through October 29th, “Coalescence” includes works by Joni-Leigh Doran, Richard Joshua, James de Knoop, Mark Chipps, and Dani’s Photos that explore how the village’s natural surroundings, architecture, and community come together to form McGregor’s distinct character.
Each artist has interpreted their village in a distinct way, from Doran’s delicate and colorful oil paintings to Joshua’s portraits oil on mixed media. De Knoop, network canals are part of his ongoing studies of light and shadow, while Chipps, a professional photographer, has focused on the natural beauty surrounding McGregor and its people. Dani’s Photos rounds out the group with a curated collection of superimposed images.
Though each artist has a unique style and subject matter, their works are tied together by a shared appreciation for the village they call home. "Coalescence" is a celebration of McGregor’s natural surroundings, architecture, and community coming together to create a place unlike any other. Visitors will gain a deeper understanding of what makes this village so special through the eyes of these five local artists.
