About the Exhibition
Abstract 2 was curated to share a collection of artworks that evokes thoughtful discussion and conversations based on the Light, Layering and Texture created by our local and international artists.
Texture is an important part of our interaction with art and can affect mood, evoke psychological associations, bring attention to a medium, or divert our focus toward materials used in a work.
Layering is often used to create drama, and to affect the way Light interacts with the surface of their images since certain layers can create shadows and highlights.
Step back and enjoy the works from far and then up close and take note of what if anything changes.
We hope you discover a new artist, tell a friend to view the works and perhaps find a place that you want to hang one of these ABSTRACTS.
Cheers, Marina Cutler
President Avenue Art Group

avenue art / Cutler Crane Gallery is physically temporarily closed,
but online here is what we are doing.....
To help fulfill an urgent request that came into us from a senior's residence for activities and supplies, we are assembling and supplying our Brush Off ARTBoxes!
These ARTBoxes help combat the loneliness that our precious seniors are experiencing due to being quarantined due to COVID-19.
Not being able to see any family or friends is hard for all, but for many of our seniors who are quarantined to only their rooms, it is exceptionally difficult and can lead to depression. These ARTBoxes are carefully curated to supply items that reach a variety of interests and abilities.

New works have arrived and will be included in the Spring Fling Exhibition
Scott Steele is an artist who is quickly making his name known in the North American art world. He has the ability to create works that are attracting the attention of designers and collectors and the average person alike. With a keen design sense and a natural talent for painting he combines the perfect balance of what people are calling "the mood" they have been looking for! Steele is not afraid of creating a non traditional balance in what would normally be a traditional/ conservative landscape. His works are created on panels and when paired as triptychs and multi paneled framed works are anything but a standard landscape.
We welcome Scott Steele to Avenue Art and look forward to introducing you our clients to his work.

Artiste Jeff Watson gagne prix Rumsey prestigieux / Gallery Artist Jeff Watson Wins Prestigious Rumsey Award
Jeff (Guv) Watson, sculptor from Longueuil, participated as a member of the delegation of Canada at the Salon Internationale 2008 of the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris from the 11th to the 14th December.
For this, the 10th salon at the Louvre Carrousel, and the 4th delegation of Canada, the jury of the SNBA selected Jeff`s sculpture in Indian Serpentine, `Percer le Mur du Silence` (breaking down the wall of silence - see photos). which was awarded the Rumsey prize, one of the major prizes for sculpture awarded by the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts (SNBA). This is a great honour for him sine this is the salon where Rodin, Camille Claudel, Moore, Matisse, Georges Roualt,
Brancusi, Maillol et Bourdelle, among others exhibited their works.
The SNBA was begun in 1890 by such renowned artists as the sculptor Rodin and the painter Puvis de Chavannes. The SNBA has been recognized as a public organization since 1909 and receives support from the Ministry of Culture and the city of Paris.
Each year since its creation the SNBA has organized a salon that highlights the best of international art. All forms of art are represented (abstract, figurative, geometric, naïve, etc) as well as all forms of sculpture (stone, wood, glass, metal). This salon is one of the final cultural events of the year in Paris and receives more that 8,000 visitors, including 4,000 at the opening.
Jeff (Guv) Watson, sculpteur de Longueuil, a participé comme membre de la délégation du Canada au Salon 2008 de la Société Nationale des Beaux Arts (SNBA) au Carrousel du Louvre le 11 au 14 décembre.
La SNBA est née en 1890 sous l'impulsion d'artistes de renom comme le sculpteur RODIN. Reconnue d'utilité publique en 1909, elle reçoit aujourd'hui le soutien du Ministère de la Culture, et de la ville de Paris.
Chaque année depuis sa création, la SNBA organise un salon présentant le meilleur de l'art International. Toutes les tendances picturales y sont présentées (abstrait, figuratif, géométrique, naïf, etc.) ainsi que la sculpture sous toutes ces formes (bois, verre, métal, pierre). Ce salon est également l'un des derniers rendez vous culturel de l'année et reçoit pas moins de 8000 visiteurs, dont 4000 le soir du vernissage.
Le jury de la SNBA a décerné le prestigieux Prix Rumsey pour son oeuvre en serpentine de l'Inde, Percer le Mur du Silence. Ceci est un grand honneur pour lui quand on considère que ce Salon est là ou Rodin, Camille Claudel, Moore, Matisse, Georges Roualt,
Brancusi, Maillol et Bourdelle entre autres ont exposés leurs oeuvres.

Heather Haynes joins the Avenue Art Group
Avenue Art is pleased to announce the addition of Canadian artist Heather Haynes. HEATHER HAYNES describes herself as a contemporary folk impressionist. Her unique style draws inspiration from nature and everyday objects. The paintings have a loose, stylized feel infused with the intriguing sense of a timeless peace.
In life as in her art Haynes is at heart a happy fatalist. What happens is meant to happen, she says. Painting is about taking chances and trusting your instincts; you shouldn't think too much.

INTERVIEW WITH CANADIAN ARTIST DENIS LAROUCHE
Interview with contemporary artist, Denis Larouche.
January, 2008
1. What was it that made you want to be an artist?
Oh, my! How do I explain this? I have always had a taste for artistic expression, especially model making, even as a child. But in the small towns where I grew up there were few opportunities for exposure to visual arts. It was when my family moved to Ottawa and I took to visiting the National Gallery of Canada that I really discovered painting.
2 How would you describe your painting style and your paintings?
Over the years, I have experimented with several styles of artistic expression. Prior to studying at the Ontario College of Art & Design (O C A D) in Toronto I was fascinated with the Masters of the Baroque period, especially Caravaggio and his wonderful treatment of the human figure and drapery (I may yet return to figure painting, but with a more contemporary twist). While in art school in Toronto, I was introduced to various concepts such as texture in painting, or the type of colour fragmentation developed by the Impressionists.
I went from Baroque painting, to Impressionism, to Post-Impressionism. I spent several years painting outside, sur le motif, until I decided to develop my own imagery. I am not exactly sure how I would define what I do at the moment, or what label I would put on it, but it certainly revolves around the exploration of colour and texture. As these considerations have taken much place in my paintings, the relative importance of the subject matter itself has diminished. This has led to a more stylized imagery where the treatment of open space becomes the real focus. The subject itself becomes a key leading into this space and the interpretation of its content.
I was once talking with a musician friend and we realized that both our crafts had much in common. Both deal with the combination and organization of essentially abstract elements, be they notes or colours, into larger fragments, parts of a whole. The result suggests sometimes clear images, sometimes a purely emotional, or intellectual response.
3 Your paintings have a mystique, serene quality about them. Is the subject really important to you, or is it the mood of the painting that fascinates you most?
Perhaps a bit of both, but I would say that I do my best work when I get so involved in the action of painting that everything else disappears. Led by a drive to create a particular image – or series of images - painting becomes an instinctive act of will and creation. It does not always happen that way but it is wonderful when it does. I suppose I am searching for serenity through painting. In that respect, the water, trees, boats and earth are certainly “grounding” elements. But as I said, these elements only emphasize the space surrounding them and give it meaning. A boat tells you that the surface below is most likely water and the space above is sky, once established, this space can become yellow, green, orange, anything. Its treatment becomes a search in itself, obeying laws and a logic that exist only within the painting.
If I can achieve balance, equilibrium, between the various components of the composition within the painting then I have achieved my goal.
4 What artists have influenced you, and how?
I would name three: Michelangelo Merisi (Caravaggio), Claude Monet, and Tom Hopkins.
Caravaggio is the one who brought me to the world of painting. His paintings fascinated me to the point of taking me to art college.
Monet would be no surprise, he influenced so many artists in the 20th century. Through him I discovered the power of colour, either opaque or transparent and the value of light.
Tom Hopkins is the artist who made me understand texture and the value of simplicity in a composition, that one can create a very powerful image with only a few, well chosen elements.
5 What other interests do you have (besides painting)?
I love the work I do as a model maker. My clients are mostly museums or historic sites, for which I fabricate scale models, mannequins, artefact replicas, etc… I recently produced a large diorama (3-D environment) for the Canadian Museum of Nature.
I also like to play hockey (goaltender), cycle and cross country sky. As a goalie and model maker, I designed and fabricated my own goalie mask.
I enjoy good wines and good books too, Mozart operas and Cecilia Bartoli’s singing.
6 How do you keep yourself motivated to paint?
Not really a problem. My work is divided between contracts I do for clients and painting I do between contracts. So, whenever I finish a contract, I’m always excited to return to painting, hoping I will have a few months to work on several canvases. Eventually, a new contract comes along and that’s exciting too because of the new challenges it brings. There is never a routine. Of course, there is little job security in the art profession, but one must accept that. On the other hand, I don’t think I could remain in an office week after week, year after year. But it’s a choice you have to make.
7 How have you handled the business side of being an artist?
It comes with the territory when you are self-employed. You have to present your work to galleries to find one or two that will accept to represent you and that is definitely “business”. You have to negotiate terms, organize exhibitions and transport paintings to and from exhibition sites. Working on contracts for my clients, I had to learn to prepare estimates, anticipate difficulties and how long the work will take. I have to take care of all the paperwork and so on. I must admit applying the same procedures to a career as a painter is not easy, but there are similarities.
8 Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Ask me again in ten years. But it would be nice to concentrate on just painting.
9. Can you tell us about the latest series that you are working on right now?
I don’t much like to talk about ongoing or future projects, except in the broadest sense, as these tend to change along the way. I am thinking about a few more boat paintings and I am also doing some sketches for a possible series of figures. That’s about as much as I’m willing to say at this point.
10. How much time do you dedicate to your painting?
It comes and goes, depending on what I have on my agenda. As I said, between contracts I spend most of my time at my painting studio. This means that when I get painting, it’s full time for weeks, or months at a time. These are periods of intense work.
11. When you look at all the paintings you have produced, is there one that has a special meaning or place in your heart?
There are several and as I produce more paintings, my favourite works tend change. But there are two or three that stand out for me.
First, there is “La Traversée I” - 2004 (Crossing I).
Then, I would say “Vers la mer” - 2003 (Out to Sea).
Finally “Paysage en orange et vert no2” - 2005 (Landscape in Orange & Green no2).
These are paintings that correspond to what I have been looking for in my work over the past years: simple, though solid compositions, with a well developed space and well resolved colour schemes. A teacher at O C A D often reminded us that “…every square inch of the composition should contributes to the whole…” In that respect, these paintings are certainly amongst my best resolved works.
12. What advice would you give to an artist just starting out?
I could try to answer this myself, but a friend sent me the following a while ago and it summarizes it all so well.
In 1903, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke responded by letter to a young man seeking his advice. Rilke eventually wrote ten letters now collectively known and much published as "Letters to a Young Poet." I think their content holds truth for all artists.
Your work needs to be independent of others' work.
You must not compare yourself to others.
No one can help you. You have to help yourself.
Criticism leads to misunderstandings and defeatism.
Work from necessity and your compulsion to do it.
Work on what you know and what you are sure you love.
Don't observe yourself too closely, just let it happen.
Don't let yourself be controlled by too much irony.
Live in and love the activity of your work.
Be free of thoughts of sin, guilt and misgiving.
Be touched by the beautiful anxiety of life.
Be patient with the unresolved in your heart.
Try to be in love with the questions themselves.
Love your solitude and try to sing with its pain.
Be gentle to all of those who stay behind.
Your inner self is worth your entire concentration.
Allow your art to make extraordinary demands on you.
Bear your sadness with greater trust than your joy.
Do not persecute yourself with how things are going.
It's good to be solitary, because solitude is difficult.
It's good to love, because love is difficult.
You are not a prisoner of anything or anyone.
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926)

MONTREAL DEBUT "BRUNO CAPOLONGO" SOLO
NOVEMBER 2ND - 17TH CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPES AND STILL LIFE
Capolongo is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the internationally coveted Elizabeth Greenshields grant – three times (one of only three dozen triple recipients since 1955), and consecutive first place awards for the national Canadian exhibition and competition Evidence of Things Unseen. Bruno Capolongo works in various genre and is continually developing his visual language.
"It has long been my belief that the most intelligent and successful artists draw from two sources of influence, the well of history, and the fountain of modernity. The artist who ignores either may languish or stumble. This is why I study the Old Masters carefully and respectfully, while ever aware of the dangers of merely initiating the artistic ideals of a bygone era." Bruno Capolongo

Scott Steele is an artist who is quickly making his name known in the North American art world. He has the ability to create works that are attracting the attention of designers and collectors and the average person alike. With a keen design sense and a natural talent for painting he combines the perfect balance of what people are calling "the mood" they have been looking for!

His works are created on panels and when paired as triptychs and multi paneled framed works are anything but a standard landscape.
We welcome Scott Steele to Avenue Art and look forward to introducing you our clients to his work.

Artiste Jeff Watson gagne prix Rumsey prestigieux / Gallery Artist Jeff Watson Wins Prestigious Rumsey Award
Jeff (Guv) Watson, sculptor from Longueuil, participated as a member of the delegation of Canada at the Salon Internationale 2008 of the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris from the 11th to the 14th December.
For this, the 10th salon at the Louvre Carrousel, and the 4th delegation of Canada, the jury of the SNBA selected Jeff`s sculpture in Indian Serpentine, `Percer le Mur du Silence` (breaking down the wall of silence - see photos). which was awarded the Rumsey prize, one of the major prizes for sculpture awarded by the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts (SNBA). This is a great honour for him sine this is the salon where Rodin, Camille Claudel, Moore, Matisse, Georges Roualt,
Brancusi, Maillol et Bourdelle, among others exhibited their works.
The SNBA was begun in 1890 by such renowned artists as the sculptor Rodin and the painter Puvis de Chavannes. The SNBA has been recognized as a public organization since 1909 and receives support from the Ministry of Culture and the city of Paris.
Each year since its creation the SNBA has organized a salon that highlights the best of international art. All forms of art are represented (abstract, figurative, geometric, naïve, etc) as well as all forms of sculpture (stone, wood, glass, metal). This salon is one of the final cultural events of the year in Paris and receives more that 8,000 visitors, including 4,000 at the opening.
Jeff (Guv) Watson, sculpteur de Longueuil, a participé comme membre de la délégation du Canada au Salon 2008 de la Société Nationale des Beaux Arts (SNBA) au Carrousel du Louvre le 11 au 14 décembre.
La SNBA est née en 1890 sous l'impulsion d'artistes de renom comme le sculpteur RODIN. Reconnue d'utilité publique en 1909, elle reçoit aujourd'hui le soutien du Ministère de la Culture, et de la ville de Paris.
Chaque année depuis sa création, la SNBA organise un salon présentant le meilleur de l'art International. Toutes les tendances picturales y sont présentées (abstrait, figuratif, géométrique, naïf, etc.) ainsi que la sculpture sous toutes ces formes (bois, verre, métal, pierre). Ce salon est également l'un des derniers rendez vous culturel de l'année et reçoit pas moins de 8000 visiteurs, dont 4000 le soir du vernissage.
Le jury de la SNBA a décerné le prestigieux Prix Rumsey pour son oeuvre en serpentine de l'Inde, Percer le Mur du Silence. Ceci est un grand honneur pour lui quand on considère que ce Salon est là ou Rodin, Camille Claudel, Moore, Matisse, Georges Roualt,

Great artist and friend, Ron Simpkins will be missed
Ron Simpkins passes away too young!
It is with great sadness that I share the news with the Avenue Art community that one of our artists, Ron Simpkins has passed away. His quirky personality and our hours of art talk will be missing in my life. We spent many hours over the past 8 years sharing a coffee and chatting about where the market had been and were it was going…..we now know that whatever the direction it takes it will be missing an amazing artist.
I will do my best to keep your memory alive!
Your friend, art agent and gallery,
Marina Cutler.

Avenue Art welcomes New Artist
Heather Haynes joins the Avenue Art Group
Avenue Art is pleased to announce the addition of Canadian artist Heather Haynes. HEATHER HAYNES describes herself as a contemporary folk impressionist. Her unique style draws inspiration from nature and everyday objects. The paintings have a loose, stylized feel infused with the intriguing sense of a timeless peace.
In life as in her art Haynes is at heart a happy fatalist. What happens is meant to happen, she says. Painting is about taking chances and trusting your instincts; you shouldn't think too much.

INTERVIEW WITH CANADIAN ARTIST DENIS LAROUCHE
Interview with contemporary artist, Denis Larouche.
January, 2008
1. What was it that made you want to be an artist?
Oh, my! How do I explain this? I have always had a taste for artistic expression, especially model making, even as a child. But in the small towns where I grew up there were few opportunities for exposure to visual arts. It was when my family moved to Ottawa and I took to visiting the National Gallery of Canada that I really discovered painting.
2 How would you describe your painting style and your paintings?
Over the years, I have experimented with several styles of artistic expression. Prior to studying at the Ontario College of Art & Design (O C A D) in Toronto I was fascinated with the Masters of the Baroque period, especially Caravaggio and his wonderful treatment of the human figure and drapery (I may yet return to figure painting, but with a more contemporary twist). While in art school in Toronto, I was introduced to various concepts such as texture in painting, or the type of colour fragmentation developed by the Impressionists.
I went from Baroque painting, to Impressionism, to Post-Impressionism. I spent several years painting outside, sur le motif, until I decided to develop my own imagery. I am not exactly sure how I would define what I do at the moment, or what label I would put on it, but it certainly revolves around the exploration of colour and texture. As these considerations have taken much place in my paintings, the relative importance of the subject matter itself has diminished. This has led to a more stylized imagery where the treatment of open space becomes the real focus. The subject itself becomes a key leading into this space and the interpretation of its content.
I was once talking with a musician friend and we realized that both our crafts had much in common. Both deal with the combination and organization of essentially abstract elements, be they notes or colours, into larger fragments, parts of a whole. The result suggests sometimes clear images, sometimes a purely emotional, or intellectual response.
3 Your paintings have a mystique, serene quality about them. Is the subject really important to you, or is it the mood of the painting that fascinates you most?
Perhaps a bit of both, but I would say that I do my best work when I get so involved in the action of painting that everything else disappears. Led by a drive to create a particular image – or series of images - painting becomes an instinctive act of will and creation. It does not always happen that way but it is wonderful when it does. I suppose I am searching for serenity through painting. In that respect, the water, trees, boats and earth are certainly “grounding” elements. But as I said, these elements only emphasize the space surrounding them and give it meaning. A boat tells you that the surface below is most likely water and the space above is sky, once established, this space can become yellow, green, orange, anything. Its treatment becomes a search in itself, obeying laws and a logic that exist only within the painting.
If I can achieve balance, equilibrium, between the various components of the composition within the painting then I have achieved my goal.
4 What artists have influenced you, and how?
I would name three: Michelangelo Merisi (Caravaggio), Claude Monet, and Tom Hopkins.
Caravaggio is the one who brought me to the world of painting. His paintings fascinated me to the point of taking me to art college.
Monet would be no surprise, he influenced so many artists in the 20th century. Through him I discovered the power of colour, either opaque or transparent and the value of light.
Tom Hopkins is the artist who made me understand texture and the value of simplicity in a composition, that one can create a very powerful image with only a few, well chosen elements.
5 What other interests do you have (besides painting)?
I love the work I do as a model maker. My clients are mostly museums or historic sites, for which I fabricate scale models, mannequins, artefact replicas, etc… I recently produced a large diorama (3-D environment) for the Canadian Museum of Nature.
I also like to play hockey (goaltender), cycle and cross country sky. As a goalie and model maker, I designed and fabricated my own goalie mask.
I enjoy good wines and good books too, Mozart operas and Cecilia Bartoli’s singing.
6 How do you keep yourself motivated to paint?
Not really a problem. My work is divided between contracts I do for clients and painting I do between contracts. So, whenever I finish a contract, I’m always excited to return to painting, hoping I will have a few months to work on several canvases. Eventually, a new contract comes along and that’s exciting too because of the new challenges it brings. There is never a routine. Of course, there is little job security in the art profession, but one must accept that. On the other hand, I don’t think I could remain in an office week after week, year after year. But it’s a choice you have to make.
7 How have you handled the business side of being an artist?
It comes with the territory when you are self-employed. You have to present your work to galleries to find one or two that will accept to represent you and that is definitely “business”. You have to negotiate terms, organize exhibitions and transport paintings to and from exhibition sites. Working on contracts for my clients, I had to learn to prepare estimates, anticipate difficulties and how long the work will take. I have to take care of all the paperwork and so on. I must admit applying the same procedures to a career as a painter is not easy, but there are similarities.
8 Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Ask me again in ten years. But it would be nice to concentrate on just painting.
9. Can you tell us about the latest series that you are working on right now?
I don’t much like to talk about ongoing or future projects, except in the broadest sense, as these tend to change along the way. I am thinking about a few more boat paintings and I am also doing some sketches for a possible series of figures. That’s about as much as I’m willing to say at this point.
10. How much time do you dedicate to your painting?
It comes and goes, depending on what I have on my agenda. As I said, between contracts I spend most of my time at my painting studio. This means that when I get painting, it’s full time for weeks, or months at a time. These are periods of intense work.
11. When you look at all the paintings you have produced, is there one that has a special meaning or place in your heart?
There are several and as I produce more paintings, my favourite works tend change. But there are two or three that stand out for me.
First, there is “La Traversée I” - 2004 (Crossing I).
Then, I would say “Vers la mer” - 2003 (Out to Sea).
Finally “Paysage en orange et vert no2” - 2005 (Landscape in Orange & Green no2).
These are paintings that correspond to what I have been looking for in my work over the past years: simple, though solid compositions, with a well developed space and well resolved colour schemes. A teacher at O C A D often reminded us that “…every square inch of the composition should contributes to the whole…” In that respect, these paintings are certainly amongst my best resolved works.
12. What advice would you give to an artist just starting out?
I could try to answer this myself, but a friend sent me the following a while ago and it summarizes it all so well.
In 1903, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke responded by letter to a young man seeking his advice. Rilke eventually wrote ten letters now collectively known and much published as "Letters to a Young Poet." I think their content holds truth for all artists.
Your work needs to be independent of others' work.
You must not compare yourself to others.
No one can help you. You have to help yourself.
Criticism leads to misunderstandings and defeatism.
Work from necessity and your compulsion to do it.
Work on what you know and what you are sure you love.
Don't observe yourself too closely, just let it happen.
Don't let yourself be controlled by too much irony.
Live in and love the activity of your work.
Be free of thoughts of sin, guilt and misgiving.
Be touched by the beautiful anxiety of life.
Be patient with the unresolved in your heart.
Try to be in love with the questions themselves.
Love your solitude and try to sing with its pain.
Be gentle to all of those who stay behind.
Your inner self is worth your entire concentration.
Allow your art to make extraordinary demands on you.
Bear your sadness with greater trust than your joy.
Do not persecute yourself with how things are going.
It's good to be solitary, because solitude is difficult.
It's good to love, because love is difficult.
You are not a prisoner of anything or anyone.
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926)

MONTREAL DEBUT "BRUNO CAPOLONGO" SOLO
NOVEMBER 2ND - 17TH CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPES AND STILL LIFE
Capolongo is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the internationally coveted Elizabeth Greenshields grant – three times (one of only three dozen triple recipients since 1955), and consecutive first place awards for the national Canadian exhibition and competition Evidence of Things Unseen. Bruno Capolongo works in various genre and is continually developing his visual language.
"It has long been my belief that the most intelligent and successful artists draw from two sources of influence, the well of history, and the fountain of modernity. The artist who ignores either may languish or stumble. This is why I study the Old Masters carefully and respectfully, while ever aware of the dangers of merely initiating the artistic ideals of a bygone era." Bruno Capolongo
