This exhibition brings together two local Winnipeg artists, Chris Simonite and Eugene Kabrun, whose unique interpretations of landscapes offer fresh perspectives on the natural world.

The opening reception will take place on Friday, December 6th, from 5 to 8 pm CT, offering attendees an opportunity to meet the artists and engage with their evocative works. Each piece in the exhibition offers a different lens through which to view the landscape, highlighting the diverse ways artists perceive and engage with their surroundings.

Featured Artists

Chris Simonite, a Winnipeg-based artist, is known for his "Cubo-Weirdism" style, which blends elements of Cubism with influences from pop culture. His abstract landscapes address the environmental impact on wildlife, encouraging viewers to reflect on society's detachment from nature. Drawing inspiration from artists like Picasso and George Condo, Simonite's work merges traditional portraiture with bold abstract forms, creating powerful landscapes that provoke thought on human interaction with the environment.

Eugene Kabrun, a Ukrainian-born artist now based in Manitoba, brings emotional depth to his landscape paintings. His versatile approach allows him to explore themes of personal connection to nature, capturing the interplay between the emotional and the environmental. Kabrun's work has been featured in numerous galleries across Canada and the U.S., resonating with viewers through its raw expression and thought-provoking imagery.

About the Exhibition

In the Heart of Here invites viewers to engage with landscapes through fresh eyes. Echoing the words of Henry David Thoreau, "It's not what you look at that matters; it's what you see," this duo exhibition explores how personal experiences and perspectives shape the way landscapes are interpreted. The diverse works on display highlight that landscapes are not simply physical scenes but reflections of the inner worlds of the artists, offering new insights into the spaces that surround us.

Presented by RevArt in collaboration with Launch Co-working, In the Heart of Here is a unique opportunity to explore how two artists bring their personal connections to landscapes, encouraging viewers to rethink the environments that shape their own experiences.
