May 4th, 2024 – 2:30 pm. Madrona Gallery is excited to announce its partnership with Victoria’s award winning Oak Bay Beach Hotel to showcase a selection of contemporary and historic fine art.
Guests and clients alike are encouraged to visit the hotel and enjoy this newest installation, which can be found in the Grand Lobby, The Snug, The Dining Room, and throughout the mezzanine level.
The most recent exhibition was installed March 2024, with installations rotating quarterly.
The current exhibition includes work by gallery artists Brent Lynch, Nicholas Bott, Collin Elder, Shawn O’Keefe, and Hashim Hannoon.
Lynch studied at the Vancouver School of Art and Design and the Langara College Fine Arts program. He would later spend a year in England at St. Martin’s School of Fine Arts, where he studied printmaking, painting and life drawing.
Lynch is recognized as one of Canada’s most notable designers and illustrators. He has worked on a broad range of projects, and been commissioned for numerous corporate and government collections, including the Royal Bank of Canada, IBM Canada, Nissan Japan, the 1988 Calgary Olympics, Nike International, the Smithsonian Museum, Tourism California, and many others.
Since the 1990’s, Lynch has turned his attention to his own artwork. A master of light and composition, Lynch imbues an incredible sense of mood and place in all of his works. His paintings are held in private and public collections around the world.
