This Sherwood Park gallery features some beautiful and inspired art objects, paintings and reproductions. From the outside, you can see some large-canvas paintings that are colourful and eye-catching, nicely displayed and inviting. There are two large presentation rooms, the smaller of which features bear statues by Vance Theoret, who sculpts with soapstone, slate, chlorite and Kissi stone, and works with lots of subjects, but his bears are his favourite … and it shows. They’re playful and embody an innocence and curiosity that are almost human-like. There are lots of other original works by a variety of artists. As I’m not much of an art connoisseur, I didn’t recognize most, but know the names Robert Bateman and Trisha Romance, whose giclees(high quality reproductions) and limited edition prints are available here. I think sometimes they come buy originals. It’s a lovely show space, and there’s something for every aesthetic, from landscape and abstract to fantasy and realism. The shop’s been around for almost 30 years and has a solid reputation in the art business.
