Tilted Brick Gallery Association
Current Exhibition
Kristine McGuinty lives and paints in Grey Creek, British Columbia, surrounded by the Selkirk Mountains and Kootenay Lake.
Her oil paintings capture the way light transforms the landscape — sunlight breaking through clouds, snow pressing into a slope, or reflections shifting across water. Like Lawren Harris, she distills nature to its essentials, allowing light and shadow to carry emotion and meaning.
McGuinty’s landscapes are both real and remembered — quiet, monumental, and deeply observed. Each work invites stillness, offering a glimpse of the living force in the land and the quiet grandeur that shapes how we see and belong.
Tilted Brick Gallery presents POLAR - A group art exhibition from Sept.12 to October 4,
Opening reception September 12, 5-7pm
From frozen landscapes to divided worlds, Contextural fibre artists explore the diverse
meanings of POLAR. This group exhibition by Contextural, Calgary’s Fibre Art Society,
invites audiences to reflect on the many dimensions of the word “polar”: from the icy
beauty of northern landscapes to the urgency of climate change, from the extremes of
weather to the divisions of polarized opinion. Using techniques such as stitching,
weaving, dyeing, felting and mixed media, the artists present works that are both
visually striking and conceptually rich, showcasing fibre as a powerful medium for
contemporary expression.
 The gallery is pleased to present Light/Words, featuring photography and prose poetry by well known Canadian author and environmentalist Luanne Armstrong.
The words and photographs are from her book, When we are Broken, where, through image and text, she explores her deep connection to place, her own ecological identity, her memory, and the prospect of dying.
