“In the pink”; our male director was not familiar with the phrase and confused it with “Two in the pink, one in the stink.” An honest mistake as “in the pink” meaning hale and hearty or in fine fettle was certainly more popular in the previous century: perhaps also an apt mistake as the nudes portrayed in our show have more than just a whiff of the boudoir about them, and the artist deliberately makes sure they are not just beautiful but have an underlying “stink” to them.
In fourteen new paintings, Prager backs away from the face to paint bodies and scenes, solo or group, mostly outdoor, all nude. A series of works from the very tiny “Nasty” up to a midsize canvas “Candace at Night” show a female nude sitter with legs spread. Other works depict duos or ménage à trois, scaling up to the giant triptych in the main gallery “Party of Eight”; which looks to be quite a party.

Monster World, is a solo exhibition by Toronto-based Hannah Epstein that consists of a selection of brightly colored hooked rugs that depict a variety of monsters as imagined by the artist, whether derived from her study of folklore, her visual backlog of TV images, or from her interest in internet memes.
Epstein grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a cold, grey peninsula where she sought refuge indoors watching television. The sharp contrast between the saturated, colorful images on TV and the monotony of her surroundings had a big impact on the artist, and when later, she studied folklore at Memorial University in Newfoundland, she realized that TV had provided her with a visual vocabulary of cartoon and pop culture images that resonate with the folkloric tradition.

The title of the exhibition, Devils’ Isle, is taken from the name mariners once bestowed upon Bermuda prior to the founding of the island. Sailors attributed the archipelago’s perilous reef system, mercurial weather phenomena and the whorling ocean currents of the adjacent Sargasso Sea to diabolical influence. Indeed, by 1600, more than thirty doomed European merchant vessels, bearing goods and enslaved people, lay wrecked in the clear waters surrounding Bermuda.
The homeland of Gavin’s father, Bermuda has previously served as a lens through which the artist has considered the African Diaspora at large and the colonial development of the Americas. England’s first two permanent colonies were Jamestown, Virginia and Bermuda, with both colonies developing in parallel. Bermuda’s advantageously far-flung position in the North Atlantic would serve it well as a prismatic way-station for European ships bearing enslaved people to the West Indies, Mexico and the American colonies. It would have been the first land many surviving African people encountered in the Middle Passage. Where encroaching empires met resistance at the hands of indigenous peoples of the Americas and the Caribbean, in Bermuda the land itself resisted human occupancy
