38 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday May 18, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Experience the difference at Win Henstock Gallery, downtown Oakville There's a charge in the air! A murmur, a buzz if you will; wafting through downtown Oakville! Something new has come this way! It arrived just eight months ago as an exceptionally wonderful art gallery. As art galleries go, and they do come and go..., there's an excitement about this one from the moment you arrive at the front black double door entrance, the black and tan awning, the black wrought iron window trim. Signs of spring; tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, add color in the urns on the sidewalk. The gallery is very welcoming and has great panache. It has WOW factor from the moment you step inside when the "Gallery Red" wall, draws immediate attention. Gleaming blonde, hardwood floors, black matte pedestals, Persian carpets and state of the state-of-the- art lighting, wrought iron staircase, makes this all very elegant. The "Lower Gallery" is very impressive because of the sheer luxury of space; not overwhelming, not too much distance to appreciate the artwork, but larger than most and set up beautifully. Bronze sculpture of elongated and over extended women reach toward the sky relishing in the open space they have to show off their lean, sculptured bodies. The most absorbing steel-mesh sculpture of men's and women's torsos by Britain's David Begbi, are mesmerizing as they cast a shadow; some four feet up the wall. To top this.....the art is second to none. Representing some of Canada's finest, recognizable artists, the gallery has substance and respectability.
