Art as a Dance of Colours: Two Artists Play with Energy at the Denman Art Gallery

Denman artists Lynn Urban and Nicole Tunheim create in very different media, colour palettes, and styles, but the curators of the Denman Island Summer Art Gallery saw intriguing commonalities.

“Both of their work is centred in the dance of colour and energy. While their styles are unique, the rhythm of the colours is essential to each,” says Virginia Spinney, who co-curated the show with Marion Dillon. For anyone interested in art on Denman Island, the exhibit featuring these two artists provides an intriguing blend of contrast and connection.
