Scugog Arts presents: ‘Landscapes & Dreamscapes’ by Kevin J Harper. This exhibition challenges the established distance between realistic and dreamlike scenarios by incorporating dreamlike works amongst the more realistic nature of Kevin J Harper’s older work. Harper aims to lessen this distance through the relationship between the real and imagined snapshots of the everyday and mundane world we live in. As a mostly self-taught artist, Kevin J Harper finds solace in painting and drawing as it continues to be a central source of play, rejuvenation & transformation for him. 

This exhibition will run from October 11 to November 11, with the artist reception on Oct 18^th from 1-3pm. Meet the artist, enjoy light refreshments and experience Kevin Harper’s work in a bright space full of creative energy!
