m By DIANE HART E Special to the Beaver An exploration of Inuit myth and sculpture A simple request for an appraisal turned into an extensive exhibit of Inuit art for one Bronte art dealer. Robert Koolen â€" of Bronte Harbour Fine Arts â€" said he was looking for an appraisal for a cusâ€" tomer on her piece of Inuit art. From that small step grew an absorbing interest in Inuit art with the result... his gallery‘s current exhibit of more than 120 pieces. And, as he acknowledges, he is like "a boy with a lollipop" as he wanders about his gallery enthusâ€" ing about the various pieces. His lifeâ€"long fascination with the art of the Inuit has only grown with the exhibit. In May, he plans to travel to the Arctic and visit a few of the communities where the art origiâ€" nated. "I‘ve followed it for a long time, but it‘s very much like Bach. You listen to him for years and it‘s GREEDY (AA) (Dolby Stereo) Eves. 7:00 9:45 Sat. Sun. Mat. 1:15 3:45. No passes accepted.

He contacted the representatives for the Inuitâ€"owned, Arctic based coâ€"operatives which were estabâ€" lished in the 1950s and ©60s in most Arctic communities. Koolen spent time choosing the pieces â€" he chose the 120 from more than 3,000 â€" that he wanted in his exhibit. Inuit sculpture has achieved an international reputation as a major contemporary art form. The Inuit population, numbering about 25,000, is widely distributed across the north so that each of the 30 or so artâ€"producing communities has developed artists with their own particular styles. "I chose the ones with the myths and legends that are interesting to me, and I also went on my own gut instinct," said Koolen, who says the exhibit has attracted people from Newmarket to Niagaraâ€"onâ€" zdsP A COMEDY ABOUT LOVE IN THE ‘90s A highâ€"speed romance.

As well as the drawings, sculpture, paintings, and prints, Koolen has a new book by authors Harold Seidelman and James Turner, called the Inuit Imagination: Arctic Myth and Sculpture. Also on hand as part of the exhibit are the works of Group of Seven members Fred Varley and A.Y. Jackson who travâ€" elled to the Arctic several times. The exhibit entitled â€" The Inuit Imagination: An Exhibition of Arctic Myth and Sculpture â€" conâ€" tinues until March 13th. Bronte Harbour Fine Arts specializes in Group of Seven and Contemporaries, as well as, conserâ€" vation framing and appraisals. Other pieces of art are by Harold Pfeiffer, Dr. Frederick Banting, and the Group of Seven artist arguably most known for his Arctic influâ€" ence, Lawren Harris. One of the other nonâ€"Inuit artists in the exhibit who use the Inuit people as subjects is Adam Sheriff Scott. Koolen said his own fascination with Inuit art is part of his interest in preâ€"Columbian art which dates back to his origins in South America. The work in his exhibit includes the art from the 1950s and ©60s, as well as, the past three or four years. But it was the initial simple request for the appraisal that forced him to look further into Inuit art. "It opened my eyes," he said.

The display, which features more than 120 pieces, runs until March 13th. Scott, whose main loyalties lie with the Oakville Players, but who has done work for Stagecraft and the Credit Valley Dramatic Society, is a solid actress whose work is defined by its strength and polish. She is a familiar face to Drama Series patrons and a crowd favorite. 323 Church St. Church Reynolds As comfortable as she appears on stage these days, however, Scott admits to being extremely shy as a youngster. Living with her family in the exotic Caribbean, she didn‘t have access to the extracurricular activities so readily available here, but she did wind up with a small part in The Sound of Music when it was presentâ€" ed at her school in the Bahamas. The experience remained with her and when her family returned home to Canada â€" from New York this time â€" the teenaged Scott remained behind to attend Lee Strasberg‘s acting school. The struggling actress route didn‘t appeal to her, however, and upon her own return to Oakville, she took a legal secretary course to give her some "flexibility" for her avocation. Surrounding herself with a group of friendly faces who volunteer their time to stage a production instead of being paid to do so, suits Scott just fine. "Sometimes you get a really good group who bring out the best (in you). It‘s like playing tennis with a better player," says Scott who portrays Caroline Matcher, prima donna extraordinaire in the Players‘ producâ€" tion of Neville Bryant‘s According to Murphy, running until Saturday at the Centre. Scott jokes that it‘s a part "I‘m finding easy to play," but in all seriâ€" ousness, the play is "very light, enterâ€" taining" and the public is in for a (in Miller Mews) (Photo by Riziero Vertolli)
