Coronation Park trees focus of new art exhibit by Marta Marychuk Oalwille Beaver Staff The burly trees of Oakville’s Coronation Park are the focus of a new exhibit called Outgrowth by local artist Dan Holst Soelberg. The exhibit, which opened earlier this month, runs until Saturday, Sept. 2 at the Bending Spoons Gallery at Vesuvio Pizzeria and Spaghetti House, 3010 Dundas St. W., Toronto. “Immersing myself in trees has been an indulgence, exam- ining rugged ridges in minute detail,” says Soelberg’s artist statement for Outgrowth. “I invite you to explore every bark fold, crack, burl and crevice in the stark contrast of black ink. “A close inspection uncovers my sincere and earnest rev- erence to the smallest features that reveal a tree’s individual- ity and history that may span several lifetimes,” the state- ment continues “Step back, and the tiny ink lines soften and blend to form a naturalistic depiction.” Soelberg, who lives in Burlington with his wife and two young children, studied illustration and graphic arts at Sher- idan College. He started out doing paintings of urban set- tings, working in mixed media and more recently in ink, in the last seven years. “ve always had a deep fascination with trees,” he says, adding that he has spent a lot of time at Coronation Park, Dra Md Suey studying the trees, which he finds beautiful and stun- ung. nsoelberg began showing his work in galleries about 15 years ago, but has had a long-time relationship with Vesuvio Pizzeria and Spaghetti House in Toronto, where Outgrowth is currently on exhibit. enjoys doing portraits and his website https://danholstsoelberg.com/ includes affectionate sketches of his family — in addition to absurd and whimsical humour.
