Welcome to the world of ANONYMOUS! Enjoy this rare, inside view of the most anticipated exhibit of this year, by Duncan Regehr - a true Renaissance man. An awarded writer, a multi-media artist whose paintings have been extremely well received in both, Italy and France; a classically trained Shakespearian film and television actor with a long list of noted roles, such as Zorro of the 88 episode series from 1990-1993. 'A Canadian artist whose work demonstrates the unfailing str...ength of our county's artistic output'. For all of the patrons who, due to COVID could not fly in from abroad to enjoy this timeless exhibit and, for all the art lovers who could not visit us in person... We wish you wellness and art until we meet again, Your Petley Jones Gallery

A virtual welcome to all - our most anticipated exhibit this year.

Petley Jones Gallery presents ANONYMOUS by Duncan Regehr - https://mailchi.mp//petley-jones-gallery-presents-anonymou We have come to know Duncan Regehr as an artist of great sensitivity. He possesses a rare ability to assess, analyze and reveal the complexities of life, culture, history and myth. His beautifully painted canvases, sculptures, and drawings are imbued with a deep, ageless quality. The hand of an artist who invests his work with emotional intensity, exposing compelling images that are idiosyncratic and profoundly human in nature.

Surrounded by isolation, Amelia Alcock-White's brush soulfully produces the most anticipated and very limited - SLIPSTREAM series. Virtual Exhibit currently available https://petleyjones.com/gallery-artists/amelia-alcock-white/ While perched on a sun-warmed rock by the sea, I soaked up the last rays of summer light; the fragrance of the Arbutus trees and dry grass lingering in the air. Words struggle to capture those memories; they are visions that slipstream... between the r...ealms of imagination and sensation. In my art, I seek to visualize these fleeting yet poignant moments. The recurring themes of my work are the interconnections within nature and the contrasting forces of light and dark. Visual art is the language that I use to understand and interpret the worldit’s how I deal with the ever-changing influx of information and emotion; the channel that I use to filter what takes place around me. The current crisis has created a more focused and productive space for my work. It has granted me the opportunity for more intense soul-searching. This has been a time to reassess the way in which I live and to consider my impact on the planet. This extra time to pause and reflect gave rise to a series of paintings entitled Slipstream: a collection addressing our current time by depicting the turbulence felt in the natural world while satisfying a collective desire for peace and stability. I’ve attempted to translate the intense colour and infinite variety of west coast waters onto canvas.
