Scarecrow Festival

September 15, 2023 by

The Department of Illumination presents Prince Edward County’s 13th annual Scarecrow Festival on Thanksgiving weekend. You’re invited to make your very own scarecrow to take home with all supplies provided for a donation of $40. With a barn full of clothes and a mountain of straw with which to craft a character, the Scarecrow festival has seen a lot of weird and wonderful scarecrows created over the last dozen years.

All proceeds benefit The Department of Illumination, a not-for-profit arts organization, helping ensure that they can keep bringing joy and creativity to Prince Edward County.

The annual Scarecrow Festival has become one of the County’s most beloved events of the season. Come one, come all, for a creative outing the whole family can enjoy! Rain or shine.

Oeno Gallery Presents FUGITIVE COLOUR: Milly Ristvedt, A Survey of Paintings 1966-1990

August 28, 2023 by

For Milly Ristvedt, the artistic journey has always been about the power of colour. Brilliant, saturated colour. As an abstract painter, she was inspired by the colour palette of Matisse, the American modernists Morris Louis, Helen Frankenthaler and Canada’s Jack Bush.

By the early 1960’s, Milly Ristvedt was already using colour as a language. Her exploration—the quest to find her own voice in her colour field work was both intuitive and boldly experimental. She understood that colour could express her emotions—’what’s going on’ in the world, the joy and the pain of life. Colour is elusive. Colour cannot be ‘contained’—it is a beautiful fugitive.

“Colour is the philosopher’s stone that for me represents hope in a time of great challenge for us all.” Milly Ristvedt

This survey of paintings from both the artist’s private collection and estate holdings spans three decades from late 1966 to 1990. It is a remarkable collection that reveals the creative possibilities of colour to speak to mind, body and soul.

Oeno Gallery is proud and privileged to present ‘Fugitive Colour’ an exclusive exhibition of paintings from one of Canada’s finest abstract expressionists, a master colourist—Milly Ristvedt.
