On display until March 22nd, 2026 at the Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives is a delightful and inspring collection of works from the Estate of Frederick Hagan, as part of their exhibition, Fantastic Landscapes: Beyond the Ordinary.
Featured in this collection is Cole's lenticular work "Miroir D'Eau" from the Meditations series, which utilizes a unqiue process to create an image that moves as it is viewed from different angles. Comprised of several separate photographs from the artist's series "Meditations", this piece seeks to convery the experience of 'fleeting impressions of life reflected in water'.
Barbara Cole is a Toronto-born fine art photographer celebrated for her dreamlike imagery and inventive use of photographic techniques, including underwater photography and modernized wet collodion. Her work explores themes of transformation, weightlessness, and self-discovery, capturing figures in states of transition and reflection.
Lynch challenges the traditional notion of landscape painting by approaching each work with a digitally informed, collage-like approach. By playing with opposing visual and tactile qualities, Lynch creates a layered and nuanced canvas that plays with the sculptural qualities of paint. The artist looks to climate change and the inherent destruction of our natural environment to depict forest scenes and seascapes, each informed by research expeditions, lived experience, and his fascination with Weird fiction and Eco fiction.
