Vibrant. Muscular. Raw.
Yuristy & Schissel
free artists talk / Q & A's with
Russell Yuristy & Amy Schissel
Thursday April 8: 7pm
Cube is pleased to present a combined show of two exciting Ottawa artists -- Russell Yuristy and Amy Schissel. Both artists see the world through extremes of metaphor and revel in the process of their work. Both create work that is vibrant, muscular, raw. Join us for this exciting talk and hear how the artists see their work in relation to the wider art scene and to each other. This will be a lively session - get here early for a seat.
Russell Yuristy is a well-known print maker, painter and teacher in the Ottawa and Western Canadian art scene. At 74, Yuristy is still an enthusiastic and prolific producer of representational art based on nature. His works can be found at the National Gallery of Canada, Canada Council Art Bank, Mendel Art Gallery, MacKenzie Art Gallery, McDonald Corporation (Chicago), and Shaklee Corporation (San Francisco). Amy Schissel is one of the most intriguing young artists to emerge from Ottawa U's new Masters programme. She is a 31-year old artist who creates work that is vast in scope and size, intricate and sophisticated. Schissel's works are included in private and corporate collections, including acquisitions by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the Free University of Brussels, Belgium, and the Gotland Museum of Fine Arts, Sweden.
