The Youth of Ranch Ehrlo Society present: TRUE COLOURS

The Youth of Ranch Ehrlo Society present: TRUE COLOURS

January 31 - March 26, 2010


We could show you who we are by painting what you see when you look at us—the way each of us styles our hair, how each of us dresses, or our individual skin colour. Instead we choose to show you who we are on the inside—not our bones, tissue or veins,
but by showing you who each of us really is at the core. We are the youth of right now. W e are products of the past and creators of the future. We come from all over Canada to share each o f our experiences with you. We have each painted a figure to tell you about ourselves through colour. Each colour represents something different to each of us, whether it be an emotion, a past experience, or our hopes for the future. We hope you enjoy our work, and anticipate that the next time you look at someone, you see through to their true colours.

Curator - Ranch Ehrlo Artist-in-Residence

    To Amanda: Thanks for the great opportunity for the youth to explore about themselves and to experience a unique form of art--breaking outside the traditional flat art projects and crafting!
