The West End Gallery and accompanying artists have come together to create a unique exhibition supporting the people of Ukraine. With the assistance of the Ukrainian Congress of Canada, Edmonton, AB branch, our gallery and artists will be donating 100% of the monies raised to help families in need during this humanitarian crisis via the Ukrainian relief fund. The West End Gallery is not seeking to benefit from this cause and will not be seeking a tax receipt or benefit. Instead, our goal is to support the displaced people of Ukraine. We hope you will help this endeavour by selecting a painting or glass sculpture of your choosing belonging to this exhibition.
Marquis’s work goes beyond just looking beautiful—it tells stories through the materials she uses and the historical elements she includes. The textures, colour shifts, and hidden references come together to create pieces that are rich with meaning. Each painting offers something unique, whether it’s through the figures that seem to emerge from the trees or the landscapes that change as you view them.
This trilogy was featured at the West End Gallery in 1987 and was described by the Edmonton Journal as some of the most haunting pieces ever exhibited at the Edmonton Art Gallery. The trilogy's presence in our gallery underscores its significance and the lasting impact of Blackwood's work.
