Back to top. 5. Beasts and Gardens exhibit opens at the UNB Art Centre on January 18 at 5pm The UNB Art Centre rings in the New Year with Anna Torma and David Zsako’s Beasts and Gardens which runs through March 1. This exhibit features two artists working with diverse media to explore themes of nature, creating a modern bestiary. Anna Torma is an artist/embroiderer based in Baie Verte, N.B. whose work reflects her interest in the life cycle of gardens, historical episodes and medieval bestiaries. In this exhibit she will be displaying a series of embroidered wall-hangings influenced by a recent residency in France where she encountered a series of medieval tapestries at the Chateau d’Angers commissioned by Louis I, the Duke of Anjou, depicting themes of the Apocalypse. David Zsako is an emerging artist based in Halifax, N.S. whose work using large-scale digital collages presents unique and unsettling arrangements of flora and fauna. His use of technology in the form of advanced imaging software and state of the art digital printers is in direct contrast with the biological nature of his subjects, which are not programmed externally but programmed from within to flourish, wither and die. ARTSnews January 17, 2019 Volume 20, Issue 3 As part of the opening the UNB Art Centre continues its popular FLOW series with the artist DenMother.
