THE SAVOUR OF SUMMER From paddle boarders to bikini-clad sunbathers, people surrendering to the hot and sweaty pleasures of July and August are the subjects of painter Judy McLaren’s Summer Heat show at Eclectic Gallery. A figurative artist for over 30 years, the award-winning McLaren studied at the Ontario College of Art in the late 1970s and is a bold colourist who seeks psychological depth beneath the painterly surface of her oil-on-panel works. Her paintings are loosely interpreted from photos, with the beach and ocean backgrounds remaining abstract, while the human subjects are rendered with poignant realism. “These are just ordinary people, accepted in their summer casualness,”says Eclectic coowner John Taylor. “Judy’s not attempting to do formal portraits.” According to Taylor, McLaren gets intrigued by some gesture a person makes, and then, in her mind, becomes engaged with that person and what they could be thinking as she interprets the scene in her studio. “And there’s an energy that she puts through the brush while applying paint,” notes Taylor. “As an artist, she’s very vital and in the moment.” McLaren recently became a cancer survivor, and that experience has put an added urgency into her painting. “She has immersed herself in her work,” adds Taylor. “She wants to make the most of her time.” Continuing at 2170 Oak Bay Avenue until August 15.
