About
Bewabon Shilling | of light and air
Open: Friday, September 12 - Saturday, October 25, 2025.
Admission is free and all are welcome.
Latcham Art Centre invites you to celebrate Bewabon Shilling’s colourful and life-affirming solo exhibition, of light and air. This exhibition features Shilling’s paintings of the fields and forests surrounding his home in Rama First Nation, situated along the shores of Ontario’s Lake Couchiching. Many of his works are created en plein air—a method of painting directly within the landscape.
Plein air painting requires focused attention, energy, and endurance from the artist. This approach allows Shilling to directly experience elements of the landscape that transcend visual perception. Being present with sensations and movements such as a gentle breeze, the shifting sunlight, and ambient sounds creates an intimate connection to his subject and infuses his paintings with a vivid and responsive energy.
Latcham Art Centre gratefully acknowledges the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville for their generous support of this exhibition.
