New Exhibitions
Chromatic Wilderness by Chester Hewlett
On display, this February at Eptek Art & Culture Centre. This exhibition invites viewers to explore nature through vibrant, reimagined perspectives that merge the organic world with bold artistic expression.
About the Artist
Originally from Ghana, Chester's interdisciplinary practice has graced multiple galleries across PEI. Chester first discovered his ability to draw in the 4th grade. With no prior art lessons, he was able to do more with his hands than anyone could have imagined. Known for fusing human experience with striking visual and chromatic creations, the artist brings a fresh lens to landscapes, flora, and ecosystems.
Everyone is welcome!
