Please join us for the opening reception of Byron Hodgins' latest NSC exhibition, "End of Night" on Friday, November 27 from 6-8pm.

"End of Night," is presented as a loose narrative of painting the landscape at night and are part representative and part interpretive. The work attempts to intertwine the external and internal world into a deeper transformation of self. The paintings are presented chronologically to carry the viewer from late evening through to the morning with a variety of visions. Some are abstract, distorted, and terrifying while others are dreamlike.

About the Artist

Byron Hodgins considers himself to be someone who bridges the objective world and the internal world of the imagination. To Hodgins, painting is a means of being sensitive to colour as a means of expressing visual thought. A plein-air-painting practice has led him to experience what is typically considered to be a common place as transformation, and opportunity to be present and focus on the self. He gravitates to form - rough and unkempt - for his rich and vital sources for pure abstract painting.

Hodgins received a B.F.A from Nova Scotia School of Art and Design, and lives and works in Toronto, Ontario. Hodgins has exhibited across Canada and Korea.

The show runs until Saturday, December 19, 2015. NSC Gallery Hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12-5pm, and by appointment.
