Ashley Goodfellow posed for a portrait
Also on display is a section of portraits of Ashley Goodfellow, the arts reporter for The Brampton Guardian. She actually posed for the portrait bunch last Wednesday, from 10 am to 2 pm. While you always get a fantastic variety of styles and mediums when you visit Artway, this is especially interesting, to see six different takes on the same face.Her posing for the portrait bunch was embedded journalism, if you will, as Ashley was doing research for a story on the portrait exhibit and on our weekly portrait session.
The Globe's Tony Jenkins on display
Later this afternoon, we'll be displaying Tony Jenkins' portraiture. Tony is best known as the editorial cartoonist for The Globe and Mail, for which he also does various illustrations. He was a finalist for the National Newspaper Award for Editorial Cartooning, an award administered
by the Canadian Newspaper Association.
From Toronto, Tony’s black and white cartooning has influenced his painting, in his search for line and structure. His travels through the Third World have engendered his love of dramatic colour and heightened his fascination with the human face. Some of his roadside sketches appeared in early editions of the Lonely Planet travel guide series.
Jenkins has previously exhibited at various galleries and restaurants, including Toronto music pantheon Hugh's Room, where he showed his folk, blue, and soul musician caricatures. His caricatures will be part of next month's Laughlines exhibit.
