Cori Creed: Stage
Visit Bau-Xi Toronto this March to enjoy the latest series by landscape
painter Cori Creed. Stage represents a project to capture
fleeting glimpses of nature, to isolate in paint the total experience
of a scene brimming with life. For the artist, painting is an exploration of
this temporal and material process, with the final canvas continuing to
unfold before our eyes in vibrant hues and strong painterly forms. Time becomes
an essential medium for Creed, who both relishes and contends with the
impossible task of rendering an elusive moment. Lush trees bow in the wind,
waves lap against the shoreline, and soft clouds build on the horizon, with the
artist's characteristic splashes and drips infusing each world with
perspective and spontaneity. The resulting works are scenes of nature
that play out indefinitely on a painted stage.
