Welcome to the Merike Lugus Art Gallery on the Web featuring my sculpture and paintings. I have painted all my life (see my CV) [in 2nd window] but my style has changed over the years. Where my early work often showed the influence of Gustav Klimt (see, for example, one of my paintings [in 2nd window] shown in the 1979 City Woman article), my style has changed to a more textural approach -- as you will see from my "Child Bride". Sculpture is newer for me (the past eleven years) so my style is still exploratory. My latest venture is a line of floral sculptures in fiberglass: Lightfantastics.

Links to Lists of My Paintings and Sculptures

Here you will find:

• links to Lists of My Paintings
• links to Lists of My Sculptures
• the lists come in six flavours: either in reverse chronological order (most recent works first) or alphabetical order -- and for each of these: a listing with no images on the list, with thumbnail images on the list, or with small images on the list
• whichever list you choose, it will in turn link you to either medium-sized or large images of each work in question (which will open in a separate page -- together with explanations)
• as a default I would recommend: the reverse chronological list with thumbnail images
• the lists with no images load the fastest -- but in most cases the lists with thumbnail images should load reasonably quickly -- the lists with small images take a little longer to load into your browser
• it depends on your preference and on your Internet connection speed
• here are the lists -- click on your choice:

A few past shows

The Art Gallery of Northumberland "Upstairs Gallery" Show in Port Hope (2005)

My show, "Definitely Not Black and White", in the Upstairs Gallery (in Port Hope) of The Art Gallery of Northumberland during March and April 2005 consisted of a room of nine of my paintings -- most of them newly produced for the show.

The Colborne Art Gallery Show (2001) in Colborne

The Colborne Art Gallery sculpture show I was honoured to share with the internationally known local area sculptor Frances Gage. It was held at the The Colborne Art Gallery from Feb 3, 2001 to March 25, 2001. This show displayed some explorations of new media (sculpting in wax and then casting in fibreglass, resins, and other media) focussing primarily on translucency and fragility.

The Art Gallery of Northumberland Transient States Show in Cobourg (1998)

My largest previous solo sculpture show Transient States, was held at the Art Gallery of Northumberland from January 17, to March 1, 1998. If you missed it in Cobourg, you can still see a brief summary of Transient States in cyberspace.
