Through his upcoming solo exhibition for Bau-Xi Gallery | Dufferin, "Split My Full Moon Heart”, Treaty 3, Keewatin-based Canadian artist, Kyle Scheurmann, continues to embody both artist and activist, journalist and advocate, Forest Protector, and fundraiser. He looks to grab our attention and slow us down in order to work towards meaningful change and peaceful and thoughtful action for environmental protection.

Observations by Bau-Xi Gallery artist, Anne Griffiths:

“Kyle Scheurmann’s new body of work is a seamless evolution from his previous paintings in both subject and style. His practice has also taken on a new level of sophistication; the intricate patterns of light, line and hue writing stories of places too far for us to reach ourselves. There is a sense of love and acceptance emanating from his joy-filled palette, which at times seems a contradiction to his conservationist intentions. Where many react with despair and anger to the ecological catastrophe we are witnessing, he still manages to send a message inspiring peaceful and thoughtful action. These new paintings are an environmental S.O.S., but they are also a gentle talisman, guiding us by the hand and leading us into a place where we can feel happy and hopeful again. A generous offering from a kind soul.”
