Buzzworthy art has landed at Peace Gallery North

The scent of beeswax and the glow of layered color fill Peace Gallery North as artist Irene Gut’s exhibit ‘From the Beehive to the Canvas’ is currently on display here in the North Peace.

Gut’s exhibit is based around encaustic art, essentially painting with damar resin and molten beeswax, creating layers of color while adding texture that feels alive through every stroke.

“A huge thank you to everyone who came out to my art show opening on Friday night,” said Gut on Facebook. “Your support, smiles, and kind words meant the world to me. It was such a joy to share my work and celebrate this special milestone surrounded by so many wonderful people.”

On display amongst the art was an example of the tools and materials she needs and uses to create these magnificent works of art which capture the beauty of the North so well.

The grand opening for this event was well attended on November 7^th, and the exhibit will be open for just a couple more days, closing on the 22^nd.

As the exhibit is coming to an end, Peace Gallery North invites residents to stop in, slow down, and take in the warmth and detail of Gut’s bee-inspired world.

The Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, between 11am – 5pm.
