Kyle Scheurmann Featured on ArtBeat Podcast with Katie Marks
Kyle Scheurmann is featured on the latest edition of ArtBeat, "Art as Witness, Art as Warning", in a thoughtful and enlightening interview with podcast host Katie Marks.
"From a bunkhouse in Northwest Ontario to the ancient forests of Vancouver Island, Kyle Scheurmann's journey unfolds with an unyielding need to bear witness, to transform what he sees and feels into something concrete, something that communicates when language falls short. His paintings become living records, artifacts of a world teetering on the edge, yet still clinging to its fragile beauty.
As Kyle prepares for his upcoming solo exhibition at Bau-Xi Gallery in Vancouver, "Falling Stars Made of Ashes," he reflects on the emotional and spiritual undercurrents that have influenced this new collection. Unlike his previous show in Toronto, “Split My Full Moon Heart”, which concentrated on the immediate, palpable realities of climate collapse, this exhibition explores the ephemeral, the deeply personal, and the intensely remembered. The show opens on September 14th, 2024.
Kyle is also gearing up for the third annual Art Auction for Old Growth, happening online from September 19th to 26th, 2024. This year, a new group of artists has come together to support the preservation of British Columbia's most endangered ancient forests. You can visit the auction's Givergy page at https://givergy.ca/artauctionforoldgrowth, now live for registration and a full preview of the artwork." - ArtBeat, 2024
