Whitehorse, Yukon – The Artist Project (TAP) announced today, that new works by renowned Yukon artist Halin de Repentigny will make their public debut in Whitehorse Friday October 16th, 2015.

“We are thrilled to be able to share the first works of Halin’s new collection Divergence, with his fans in the Yukon” said Susan Stanley, President of TAP. “These new works continue to build on Halin’s reputation as an exceptional landscape artist but they also show another side of Halin that people don’t often get to see.”

“My life has always been one of seeking out the next adventure and Divergence is a reflection of that. For me the straight path definitely is the boring path” said de Repentigny. “I think artists need to tap their inner creativity and explore different styles and subject matter in order to stay fresh and grow. I will always be a landscape artist but that doesn’t mean that’s all I am.”

In keeping with the theme of Divergence, the new show will run for three days only. Susan Stanley noted “We want to make this a special event and a celebration of Halin’s unique talent. With Halin leaving for his winter adventures in Argentina it seemed fitting to limit the public exhibition to the three days he would be available to attend the show”. The entire Divergence collection will be available on line by the end of October and select pieces will be on display at partner galleries in Yukon and B.C. over the coming months.

Divergence will be presented at The Old Fire Hall 1105 Front Street Whitehorse Yukon.

Friday October 16th 5:00 – PM
Saturday October 17th 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Sunday October 18th Noon – 4:00 PM

Two Home Runs for Halin de Repentigny

Whitehorse, Yukon – The Artist Project (TAP) is pleased to announce two significant events in the evolving career of renowned Yukon artist Halin de Repentigny. 

First, de Repentigny is featured as an “Artist to Collect” in the Spring 2015 edition of the influential Canadian art magazine, Arabella (http://arabelladesign.com/index.html.) Arabella showcases exceptional art, architecture and design with distribution throughout Canada and the United States

Susan Stanley, President of TAP says, “Halin was selected for a feature length article in Arabella, due to his ability to bring landscapes to life, his bold colours and sweeping brush strokes. That, plus the incredible story of his life which is quite phenomenal when you read it”. 

de Repentigny is excited about the extensive coverage noting, "to be featured in such an elegant magazine, and to have all that national and international exposure, is gratifying and is an important step in gaining more widespread recognition of my work across Canada and beyond."

Following on the heels of the Arabella release, de Repentigny is also featured in a solo show at the prestigious Madrona Gallery in Victoria B.C. (http://www.madronagallery.com/) The “Northern Light” exhibition, featuring recent works from Yukon, opened to large crowds on March 21^st. Michael Warren, owner of the Madrona Gallery said, “This exhibition is a great way to kick off our spring and summer season and we are thrilled to be introducing the incredible art of Halin to a new audience in B.C.” The exhibition will run through April 4^th.   

de Repentigny is thrilled about the opportunity to share his art with a new audience. “Being featured in a gallery of the stature of Madrona is a real honour for me and bringing the north to a new audience is a privilege.”  

Susan Stanley noted “Halin has worked at his art since he was a young boy growing up in Quebec. His dedication to his craft is now paying off, this is something an artist of his talent deserves, and people in the art business and art lovers everywhere are taking notice.”

New Works by Halin de Repentigny to Premiere Friday November 7th

 Whitehorse, Yukon – The Artist Project (TAP) announced today, that new works by well-known Yukon artist Halin de Repentigny (http://halinderepentigny.ca/) will debut in Whitehorse Friday November 7, 2014.

“We are very excited to share the first works of Halin’s new collection Tributaries - Peel to Patagonia, with his fans in the Yukon” said Susan Stanley, President of TAP. “These works are focused on Halin’s early years in the Yukon spent living and trapping on the Hart River in the Peel Watershed and offer a stunning interpretation of this beautiful and remote region”.

de Repentigny will continue to build the Tributaries collection over the next few years, adding new pieces from time spent in his second home in the Patagonia region of Argentina, as well as additional works from his Yukon home.

“I have so many paintings inside of me right now that I decided to build Tributaries over a period of time or I would have had far too many paintings to show at once” said de Repentigny. “My time in the Peel was formative for me as an artist and as a person, and it continues to be a source of inspiration for me as I continue to explore new regions and interpret them through my painting”.

Tributaries – Peel to Patagonia will premiere at the North End Gallery, 118-1116 Front Street, in Whitehorse on Friday November 7, 2014 from 5:00 – 8:00 PM. The exhibition will continue to the end of November.
