Opening Reception: Alexander Koltakov - Golden Light Over the Bay

Opening Reception July 10, 6-8 pm. Take in the show, chat with the artist and art lovers, and enjoy light refreshments.

Golden Light Over the Bay is a series of paintings -seascapes and landscapes, depicting the shores and ocean views of Nova Scotia. Gold leaf has been incorporated into each acrylic painting, creating a glowing, magical atmosphere of sparkling light on the sky, the clouds, the ocean waves and boats. Factually the golden light is the sunlight, which rays are falling from the sky and enlightening all around, creating contrasts, reflecting from the water, playing with other colors on the canvas and finally getting caught by the eye of the observer. The intensity of the light is changing with the angle of the view and is getting enhanced by the different lighting which surrounds the painting.
