About this event
The Eternal Turn
$3,000
Starting bid
Artist: Glen Ronald
Spinning Circle Painting (interactive turntable piece)
Size: 4 ft diameter
Medium: Mixed media on panel (with electric motor)
Value: $5000
Glen Ronald is an Edmonton-based painter known for expressive works that blend abstraction and figurative elements. His paintings explore chaos, perception, and human emotion through layered colour, movement, and spontaneous mark-making.
The continuous rotation of this circular painting invites a shifting experience of the image. As it moves, familiar shapes blur, emerge, and disappear, asking the viewer to engage through time rather than a single glance. In this way, the work mirrors how our senses operate—receiving and interpreting the world in passing fragments. When the viewer looks at the work for a time and then looks away they will see an illusion of animation on nearby objects. This shows that our perceptions are not always real but can be influenced by how our mind interprets incoming information.

Life is a Beautiful Mesh
$2,000
Starting bid
Artist: Glen Ronald
Squishy Interactive Painting (touchable surface)
Size: 3 ft x 3 ft
Medium: Acrylic on canvas (with mesh)
Value: $4000
Glen Ronald is an Edmonton-based painter known for expressive works that blend abstraction and figurative elements. His paintings explore chaos, perception, and human emotion through layered colour, movement, and spontaneous mark-making.
A suspended or embedded metal mesh layer interacts with translucent paint to create a dynamic visual field that shifts with lighting and viewing angle. The mesh interrupts the continuity of the painted surface, creating subtle shadows and optical interference that change as the viewer moves. The blacklight brings to life another dimension reminiscent of an ancient campfire and mysterious landscape.
Fragments of imagery appear and disappear as forms seem to exist both within and in front of the canvas. The result is a work that behaves partly like sculpture — an image that cannot be fully perceived from a single viewpoint.

Old Television Projection (Bison Skull Film)
Size: approx. 4 ft x 4 ft footprint
Medium: Mixed Media Installation (TV, radio,projector, bison skull, found objects, light elements)
Value: $8000
Glen Ronald is an Edmonton-based painter known for expressive works that blend abstraction and figurative elements. His paintings explore chaos, perception, and human emotion through layered colour, movement, and spontaneous mark-making.
Buffalo Skullpture reimagines the television as a modern hearth — a place where society gathers to replay foundational myths. Western film imagery is projected onto a painted bison skull illuminated by ultraviolet light, reflecting how the stories of the frontier continue to be broadcast across generations. The work suggests that while technologies evolve, the narratives we gather around often remain the same.

New Ground
$2,000
Starting bid
Artist: Dale Shippit
Pink Metal Sculpture
Size: approx. 3 ft tall, 3 ft x 2 ft footprint
Medium: Steel
Value: $3000
Dale Shippit is a multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into storytelling, land, and community through sculpture and painting. His art reflects personal history and lived experience, using expressive materials and form. The value of "New Ground" lies in its symbolism, conceived during an 8-month stay in Fort Chipewyan, Alberta. There, Shippit connected with the local history and community, drawing inspiration from the number seven in indigenous teachings, such as the seven grandfather teachings and the seven directions of awareness.
The perforated steel design symbolizes transparency, encouraging us to see beyond our circumstances. The seven ‘dollops’ represent each direction of awareness: up, down, left, right, front, behind, and within, paying tribute to the ongoing search for truth.

Hope in Braille
$2,800
Starting bid
Artist: Garfield Morgan
Interactive Braille Button Painting (Press the Buttons)
Size:44” x 58.5”
Medium: Used clothing, acrylic, push buttons, varnish on canvas Value: $4,000
Garfield Morgan, a Jamaican-born artist residing in Edmonton, delves into themes of identity and social justice through a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, and mixed media.
“Hope in Braille” is a compelling piece that incorporates recycled fabrics, black acrylic, and interactive push buttons. These buttons light up to spell the word "hope" in Braille, inviting viewers to interact with the artwork. By using recycled materials, the piece highlights the impact of overconsumption and encourages reflection on communication methods that extend beyond what is visible.
This artwork not only showcases the environmental implications of consumption but also emphasizes a different kind of engagement, where viewers are prompted to consider how messages can be conveyed and received without sight. The interplay of light and texture in this piece creates a dialogue about finding hope and meaning in unexpected ways, reminding us that hope can be a tangible and vibrant presence, even when shrouded in darkness.

Harbinger
$3,500
Starting bid
Artist: Garfield Morgan
Sculpture
Size: approx.: 66” x 40” x 36”
Medium: Used clothing, chicken wire, metal armature, house paint, varnish
Value: $5200
Garfield Morgan, a Jamaican-born artist residing in Edmonton, delves into themes of identity and social justice through a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, and mixed media.
"Harbinger" is inspired by the Bean Sídhe, the Irish for "woman of the fairy mound", a female spirit in Irish folklore, who heralds an imminent death. The work speaks to the theme of humanity’s overconsumption and greed and warns of a looming fate shaped by human excess.
"Harbinger" is sculpted from discarded garments, chicken wire, metal armature, and house paint. The sculpture forms an abstract, organic shape where the surface is rich with texture and covered in a dark palette, creating an enigmatic and robust presence. By using secondhand clothes, the piece carries the imprint of past lives and consumption, and gestures towards consequences born from our collective overuse.
Used clothing draped over a metal armature is transformed into a statement about the cost of our consumer habits. Through "Harbinger," I aim to encourage reflection on the foreboding consequences of our excessive lifestyle. The work holds a space of quiet urgency, asking us to recognize the signs before collapse and consider what might still be shifted.

The Astronaut's Secret
$800
Starting bid
Artist: Jared Robinson
Bright Expressive Painting
Size: approx. 3 ft x 3 ft
Medium: Mixed
Value: $1800
Jared Robinson is an artist whose work explores imagination through visual storytelling.
Astronauts experience the “Overview Effect” — a profound realization of Earth's fragility and interconnectedness. This artwork invites a similar shift. Its texture and perspective resist immediate understanding, changing perception with each angle.
This mirrors the experience of autism, where the world’s meaning varies with perspective. Like the astronaut, understanding requires a shift.

Size: approx. 4 ft x 4 ft footprint
Medium: Acrylic paint on wood, light

A fun interactive depiction of something although seemingly fleeting in the digital age but resounding in the fabric of what it is to be human.

Love. And here you can have at the touch of your finger.
