Elk Lake sculptor and artist, Lionel Venne was the first
choice of the Kennedy Gallery's programming committee for 2009. This large
exhibition of abstract, "sculptural" paintings includes small thick works meant
to be presented on shelves in our Gallery II Main Space. Venne is a retired teacher whose artwork seems to
communicate the music of the north; colours, shapes and a symphony of visual
movement that always seems to draw upon the spirit of the contemporary north.
