An Invitation to Life: Releasing the Angels

Woodcuts and paintings by Ed Schleimer

 

September 7 to November 1

 

Opening Reception: Thursday, September 7 at 7 p.m.

This is a telling, visually, visceral unraveling of the heart, mind and soul, in an exposé, celebrating the universal power of creation. The tally of the depths and heights is a response to the gift within the artist, Ed Schleimer, and testifies to the generosity of the Great Spirit that made it possible. This exhibit is a reflection not only of skill, but a dedication and faith in the human spirit acknowledging its inspiration, diligence, and faith required to see it become material and true. The artist’s efforts were guided by a light of which he felt accountable, to give back more than he received.

The Artist

Ed Schleimer was born and raised in Kitchener, Ontario. Formerly educated at the Ontario College of Art, his work has since been shown in galleries in Dundas, Toronto,  Georgetown, Blyth Theatre, Blind River, and more. Locally, he has shown at the Kitchener Waterloo Art Gallery, University of Waterloo, Homer Watson Gallery, and Kitchener City Hall.
