Multihued harmony

Creative art is an outlet for not only the artist, composer, writer but for the viewer, listener and reader. While we all love beautiful music, perhaps art that is appreciated through sight may just leave the greatest impact. Vision is not only the world of the artist but of the quiet participant, viewer.

To enjoy art in silence, of one’s own choice in this increasingly clamorous world is a treasure not enjoyed often enough. Visual arts, in the classic fields of painting, sculpture and mosaics and other forms, provide results that are myriad through the approach of both creator and viewer. However, such work often takes a back seat to what has been produced for the screen, both small and large. Technology has introduced voice and music to that field, thus perhaps denying the audience of the power of simple introspection, making up one’s own mind, of interpretation. In other words, taking the artist’s view as presented, understanding and recognizing what that has in common with personal taste. Which, is as is known, cannot be disputed even if mutual agreement cannot be found.

Hence the enjoyment of a well-curated art exhibition. Such as “Baltic Unity”, presented by The Society of Estonian Artists in Toronto (EKKT) at the Latvian Canadian Cultural Centre in the Galerija Hall, an intimate and well-designed space for such an event. The exhibition, the 68th by EKKT, was the second part of their annual show, opening on September 30th and running until October 3rd. For those unable to attend in person, modern technology, while often intrusive yet also welcoming in its wide dissemination, provides an art lover access to the virtual show. Found here.
