SUMMARY:New Exhibition “Gateways” Opens at MAC on Main Gallery in Bracebridge
DESCRIPTION:A powerful dual showcase of contemporary figurative and abstract works by Amanda Greavette and Kati Bujna \nBracebridge\, ON – MAC on Main Gallery\, located in the heart of Muskoka’s thriving arts scene\, is proud to present Gateways\, a new joint exhibition featuring the work of two Muskoka Arts & Crafts members and independent artists: Amanda Greavette and Kati Bujna. \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, May 29\, 2025 | 5:00–7:00 PM \nExhibition Dates: May 30 – June 15\, 2025 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily \nThis compelling exhibition brings together two distinct and complementary voices in contemporary art. Amanda Greavette’s Rebirth collection presents intimate figurative works that honour the experiences of mid-life women\, exploring themes of identity\, aging\, sensuality\, and transformation. Her paintings celebrate the evolving female form with depth and vulnerability. \nIn harmonic contrast\, Kati Bujna’s Water Reflections collection features large-scale\, abstract landscapes inspired by the rhythms of nature and the reflective qualities of water. Using vibrant\, layered and dynamic techniques\, Bujna captures fleeting moments of moving water—bringing meditative movement to multi-storey walls and open-concept interiors. \nTogether\, their work invites viewers through a series of gateways—into water’s abstracted beauty and the shifting tides of womanhood and time.
