Award-winning and internationally renowned artist Leon Belsky
communicates extraordinary beauty through his still life paintings. Trained
at the Moskow College of Fine Art and the Moscow Surikov Academy
of Fine Art, he was accepted into both the prestigious Union of Russian
Artists and the Ontario Society of Artists. His contemporary interpretation
of light and stark, abstracted forms has inspired numerous exhibitions,
including a show at the Museum of Contemporary Israeli Art in Tel Aviv
and the permanent collection of the Government of Ontario. He exhibits
both in Canada and England, and is collected widely.
Walter J. Phillips was a printmaker
and painter from the 1930s to the
1950s, who played a seminal role in the
development of visual arts programs at
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity.
Mt. Cathedral from Lake O’Hara is the
first print in the portfolio Ten Canadian
Colour Woodcuts which Phillips issued
in 1927. In Phillip’s own words, the image
depicts the “towering blue mass of
Cathedral Mountain against a citrine sky
through which the sun had lately passed,
from the stoop of the C.P.R. chalet at
dinner-time.”

Untitled
By Eunice Luk
24" x 18" Silkscreen on paper
2014
By Shawn Evans
Oil on Canvas
2016
Nicole Kelly Westman is a Calgarybased artist of Métis and Icelandic
descent. Westman’s research-based
practice involves significant historical
investigation into local sites once
booming with industry or mining. Solid
like Stone, Short like History depicts a
large boulder of dolomite seemingly left
on the side of the road in a community in
the Northwest Territories. Westman has
exhibited across Canada, including in the
Art Gallery of Alberta and Access Gallery
in Vancouver, and her Banff Centre
exhibition, Rose, Dear, was chosen by
Canadian Art Magazine as one of the top
exhibitions of 2016.
Eunice Luk is a Toronto-based artist
whose work spans various materials,
from screen printing and ceramics to poetry
and wearable objects. Often, the artist will
produce a work in one medium and rethink
it in another form as a second work. As the
title of the work suggests, a line becomes
a poem, or a poem becomes a ceramic,
an installation, a drawing, or a feeling.
An emerging artist, Luk has exhibited at
numerous galleries in Toronto, Printed
Matter in New York, and Banff Centre for Arts
and Creativity. Luk recently completed the
Kohanecho Artist-in-Residence program in
Yokohama, Japan and heads the Canadian
independent publisher Slow Editions.
Shawn Evans’s dedicated painting practice
is one of deconstructing images of
architectural interiors and exteriors onto
a flat image plane. The layered spaces
he depicts are often derived from the
omnipresent and banal urban landscapes
of our daily experiences. The transparency
of the layers in his work reflects the
permeability of public and private
spaces. Represented by Barbara Edwards
Contemporary, Evans is a graduate of
the Alberta College of Art + Design, an
alumnus of Banff Centre, and his work
contributes to the permanent collections
of various institutions, including that of Jim
and Susan Hill (The Esker Foundation).

Richat Structure in the Sahara desert of Mauritania. The structure has
attracted attention since the earliest space missions because it forms
a conspicuous bull’s-eye in the otherwise rather featureless expanse of
the desert. Described by some as looking like an outsized fossil in the
desert, the structure has a diameter of almost 30 miles and has become a
