Earls Court Gallery is pleased to present A Path to Interplay, a two-person exhibition featuring new works by renowned pastel artist Clarence Porter and architect-painter Lesia Mokrycke. On view from March 19 – April 25, 2026, the exhibition showcases two experts in their media that both explore the experience of moving through landscape from their own artistic expression.
Clarence Porter’s luminous pastels capture pathways, neighbourhood streets, and familiar roadways with remarkable sensitivity to light. His compositions guide the viewer gently forward: down a shaded garden walk, across a sunlit suburban corner, into spaces where colour and shadow quietly shift. The pathway becomes both subject and metaphor — an invitation into reflection and the quiet poetry of everyday surroundings.
Lesia Mokrycke approaches landscape from a different, yet resonant perspective. Classically trained as both painter and landscape architect, her artistic practice abstracts the landscape. Her paintings are gestural fields of saturated reds, yellows, greens, and blues suggesting gardens, cities, and atmospheric spaces. Arcing forms and dripping layers hint at structures within nature while remaining fluid and emotive. Her landscapes are not fixed depictions, but living systems shaped by memory, travel, and environmental awareness.
Together, Porter and Mokrycke’s artworks create a dynamic interplay. Porter’s defined pathways meet Mokrycke’s immersive fields. His grounded vantage points converse with her expansive, layered natural spaces. Both artists are deeply attentive to how we inhabit place — how light alters perception, how colour carries experience, and how being present in a spaces transforms our perception of it.
A Path to Interplay will be on view in the main gallery at 215 Ottawa Street North, Hamilton. Earls Court Gallery is open Tuesday to Friday from 10 am to 5 pm, and Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. All artworks will also be available to view online upon installation.
