Dominik J. Modlinski
'Changing Landscapes' is an original TV series created by Dominik Modlinski and Scott Wilson. Born from a passion of travel and motorcycles Dominik and Scott will take the viewer to varied and changing landscapes. Some may be familiar, others may not, but in each case they will document their travels through Dominik's work as a landscapes artist and Scott's work as a film maker and writer. Combining their mediums, their goal is to take the viewer to exotic destinations, meet the locals and embark on an adventure or two.
Prints of the paintings he did on his journeys and other merchandise is now available at Gallery Meghan.
John D. Stevenson
Canadian landscape painter
John D. Stevenson finds inexhaustible inspiration in nature’s ever-shifting colors and proportions.
Born and raised in Ontario, and now based in Quebec, his light-dappled compositions evoke Impressionists and several of Canada’s famous Group of Seven, while creating his own unique style. Working both in his studio and at outdoor locations throughout Canada’s wilderness, Stevenson applies pure oil paints directly to the
canvas before mixing and distributing colors with a palette knife. As a result his compositions are complex fields of smooth and thick layers, sculptural images that respond differently to varying lighting and points of view.
Firmly rooted in figuration, his canvases evade strict realism in favor of textural beauty and a more evocative, intuitive image that transmits a multi-sensory — rather than strictly visual — sense
of a specific place and time. Stevenson combines his powerful choices of palettes and styles of application with a dramatic flair for composition, capturing landscapes in all their
fleeting yet vast splendor.
Tim Oldford
Tim Oldford brings incredible life to his photographs.
His colours practically jump off the canvas he prints them on, giving them a dimensional rather than flat impression.
He puts the finishing touch on his pieces by building custom frames that have both a new and distressed look.
Tim was born on a farm in the Canadian Prairies and his mother was a landscape artist. His father taught him the basics of photography on his WWII camera and Tim fell in love with the magic of the camera.
