Description:
On now at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Arts’ Members’ Gallery: ‘Lakeshore Meditations’ by Marguerite MacIntosh. This exhibition is on display at the Alternator until Saturday, February 22th, 2025.
This series of paintings grew from the artist’s practice of walks from her home through the Trout Creek neighbourhood in Summerland. MacIntosh’s regular walk skirts along the shore of Lake Okanagan where she makes an intentional pause to sit near water’s edge and look across the lake to the opposite shore. This pause is documented with a set of photographs of shore, lake, land and sky. The time of day and the frequency of walks varies with climate, road conditions and travel interruptions, yet they constitute an ongoing form of ritual that has been followed by the artist for over two years. The process of creating the multi-layered, formatted, abstract studio paintings serves as a contemplative exercise that incorporates the photographed lake and landscape colours. Each work includes intentional, constrained elements and spontaneous, intuitive interactions. As a group they form a visual inventory and meditation on particular moments at a particular place in the tradition of episodic series by artists such as Claude Monet and On Kawara.
