CONFLUENCE: A Solo Exhibition by Alice Teichert at Oeno Gallery
2025-10-15 10:00 - 17:00, 2025-10-14 10:00 - 17:00, 2025-10-13 10:00 - 17:00, 2025-10-12 10:00 - 17:00, 2025-10-11 10:00 - 17:00 | Oeno Gallery, 2274 Prince Edward County Road 1, Bloomfield, Ontario, K0K 1G0, Canada
Opening Reception: October 11, 2025 from 4 to 6 PM. Artist remarks at 5 PM.
For more than four decades, Teichert’s luminous paintings, often described as “visual poetry,” have captivated critics and collectors on the international stage. Her bold palette, curated markings, layered textures and translucent colours coalesce to create remarkable, almost holographic depth.
Confluence is defined as a “coming or flowing together, meeting or gathering at one point.” The title resonates with contemporary artist Alice Teichert as it describes the magical interplay of colour, form and light evident in each of her deeply evocative compositions.
This exhibition presents a superb collection of new paintings produced during the last four years, alongside works from a recent 40-year survey show that pay homage to the two-page music sheets of the artist’s childhood piano lessons.

Campbell first picked up the guitar at age 10 and was gigging by 11. Having found a fresh start during the pandemic, Nicholas began playing consistently with his band, The Meter Cheaters, who quickly rediscovered their groove as live shows began to become an option once again and they wasted no time in seizing the opportunity. The band worked to release Campbell’s debut album Livin’ and Other Western Ideas in 2021, combining elements of rockabilly, western swing, and good old-fashioned honky tonk. The result was a brisk, invigorating album that feels as fresh as it does familiar.
In 2023 the band worked alongside James McKenty on the 2024 release of Gonna Have a Ball Tonight!, Campbell’s sophomore record; an eclectic collection of songs recorded live off the floor by McKenty. The band has enjoyed worldwide coverage and airplay since, spanning from across North America to Europe and beyond. 2024 also saw the release of He Said She Said, the first single from a third upcoming album.
With the success of the first two albums, and new singles to come, Campbell and The Meter Cheaters have pursued a tour schedule of more than 195 shows a year, with highlights in 2025 being – multiple tours, working alongside Chris Spedding on “A Rockabilly Boogie”, a Tribute to Robert Gordon, opening for The Jim Cuddy Band, backing up recent JUNO award winners, Jake Vaadeland & The Sturgeon River Boys with Paul Brandt, and the anticipated release of Campbell’s 3rd album.
