The Artform of the Week is Group Portrait by Douglas Coupland ~ Sculptor
April 24 to May 1
The Robert McLaughlin Gallery72 Queen Street, Oshawa, ON

Coupland took Peter Croydon’s 1957 group portrait of The Painters Eleven, and used it as a framework to place abstract forms that represent each member. These forms and their colours are derived from a key piece of each of the eleven members’ works in the Gallery’s collection. 

Be sure to allow time to visit the gallery to see current exhibitions: Painters Eleven: Abstract Bonds continuing at the RMG until August 24 and Oshawa Art Association's 57th Juried Art Exhibition ~ May 1 to 18

We are sure that as you wander around downtown Oshawa's Heritage District, you will find some tasty spots for a coffee or lunch, tell them you found them while on the walk.
