Lines of Vision exhibits artworks by two talented painters Gordon Leverton   and Micheal Zarowsky. The pair views landscape in two diverse ways. Painter   Gordon Leverton explores the urban homes of downtown Hamilton through close   cropping and analysis. He is not concerned with the building’s tenants or the   decorative elements of the old homes, but with the shapes and inspirational   colours they possess. His paintings are often flat, but full of life via   strong angles and vibrant colours. From driving around Hamilton, you will   find yourself trying to pick the spots Gordon Leverton has captured, but you   will never be sure.

In contrast, Micheal Zarowsky looks to show the viewer significantly more   detail in his nature watercolour landscapes. He embraces the play of light   and reflections created by water to trick the viewer into seeing two of the   same landscapes on one panel. Zarowsky’s detail is incredible and comparable   to impressionist work. Often you will find the image begins to dance when   greater distance is obtained.
Each artist has chosen their type of landscape to depict, as well as two   contrasting techniques of showing their lines of vision.

Gordon Leverton: is currently practicing in Hamilton, Ontario. Leverton is an   elected member of The Society of Canadian Artists, as well as a self-taught   artist. His artwork has shown in The National Gallery, Art Gallery of   Hamilton, Todmorden Mills Museum, Ogilvy Hall in Montreal and the Tom Thomson   Memorial Gallery. Gordon’s work has frequently shown at the juried Toronto   Outdoor Art Exhibition, and has received first place awards in the Junction   Juried Art Exhibition and the Riverdale Art Walk in Toronto. His work is in   many corporate and private collections, including the City of Toronto,   actress CCH Pounder, and founding chairman of the National Museum of American   History, Dr. Ivan Selin.

Micheal Zarowsky: is currently located in Toronto, Ontario; however the   subject matter of his work covers Grey County, Georgian Bay and Muskoka. Upon   opportunity, Zarowsky also explores Nova Scotia landscapes. Zarowsky has   developed a unique method of watercolour application that dismisses the use   of framing with glass. His work may be hung in the same manner as a work on   canvas.
