SUMMARY:Focus Series
DESCRIPTION:The Focus Series is an ongoing partnership between Library and Archives Canada and the National Gallery of Canada\, building on the rich collections of both institutions. \nFocus on the Métis — A103 Corridor and A103a\nA special collaboration that examines how early images of the Métis are often misidentified or not referenced at all. A careful look at details in historical art and photographs reveals that the Métis are often “hiding in plain sight.” \nPictorialism — A104a\nThe predominant aesthetic in photography throughout the first half of the twentieth century was pictorialism. \nWork is art/Art is work — A109a\nThis installation examines the various ways artists responded to the critical issues of the Depression era. \nPoints of View: Photography in the North — A111a\nDocumentary photographer Pamela Harris recorded community life in Taloyoak\, Nunavut (then Spence Bay\, NWT) for three months in 1972 and 1973 (published as Another Way of Being). Her photographs appear both casual and staged\, the resulting photographic sessions respectfully engaging two cultures and important considerations such as the agency and self-representation of Inuit.

SUMMARY:Helen Nhan DEFINITIONS
DESCRIPTION:Helen Nhan\nDEFINITIONS \nSeptember 25 – October 14\nVernissage: Saturday\, September 27\, 2:00 – 5:00pm\nNhan Statement\nIn this exhibition\, artist Helen Nhan explores how our perceptions hold space. Redefining\, within each piece\, definitions by opening windows to identities. \nFrom her latest works emerges an intimate\, limited series titled Being Undone. Casting form and colour onto canvas to portray a lived experience\, she creates a new chapter in order to carry the weight of the in-between. \nIt is a series born out of motherhood.\nTo find the truth behind vulnerability.\nTo search for the strength behind resilience.\nThe loss of self\, found. \nThroughout her artist practice\, her process remains conscious in composition\, the choice of colour\, use of geometry\, shape and form- deliberate. \nNhan Biography \nHelen Nhan is a Canadian abstract artist based in Ottawa\, ON. She returned to her artistic practice in 2019 after placing it on hold to build a successful career as an optometrist. \nRecent exhibitions include a solo exhibition at the Shenkman Arts Centre and a group exhibition at the Ottawa Art Gallery. She has also been a featured artist of Saatchi Art. \nhelennhan.com\nRepresented by: Galerie St-Laurent + Hill \nParking is available on the street and in the parking garage right behind the gallery.

SUMMARY:Databells Experience
DESCRIPTION:Databells is an immersive experience featuring a whimsical and eclectic collection of bells\, ringing to the beat of the statistics they’re connected to. \nA bell might be ringing when a star is born in our galaxy\, or chiming every time someone is born. In the distance\, you hear a bell ringing each time a ship passes through the Suez Canal\, or an Amazon package is delivered. Maybe you even arrive at a bell which tolls when someone farts in the room.​ Databells is a visualization of human experience\, through the lens of the statistics that make up our daily lives\, or deepest fears\, and even things that span far beyond our little blue planet. \n​Databells invites you to journey down a winding path of illuminated bells\, all arranged in an unforgettable and experiential statistical symphony. \nSeptember 25 to October 17\, 2025Thursdays to Sundays10am – 3pm

SUMMARY:Éléments by Léa-Sylvie Pilon
DESCRIPTION:After a long personal journey\, Léa-Sylvie Pilon now thrives through painting as a way of life. Inspired by nature and guided by her emotions\, she has moved beyond the strict confines of hyperrealism to explore a vibrant\, impressionistic style. Each canvas emerges from an instinctive impulse\, layering inks and oils that reflect the stages of her life. Her works\, luminous and full of contrast\, convey a renewed sense of freedom and the deep joy of reconnecting with the child artist within her. \nhttps://lespeinturesdelea.wixsite.com/sylvie \nShe will present her stunning pieces in her solo exhibition Éléments\, running from \nSeptember 25 to October 18.

SUMMARY:Brian Harvey |  Afterglow
DESCRIPTION:Wall Space Gallery is proud to present Afterglow\, a solo exhibition by Brian Harvey that meditates on the changing urban landscape of Ottawa through intimate portrayals of old diners\, back alleys\, and forgotten corners. \nToronto born painter Brian Harvey studied at The Art Centre at Central Technical School\, Toronto School of Art\, and received a BFA from OCAD University in 2016. Upon graduating from The Art Centre in 2003\, Harvey focused on building an oil painting practice and within a few years he began working full time as an artist. He has been painting for two decades and his work has been widely collected across Canada and beyond. He is inspired by the commonplace and the typically mundane; the everyday objects\, spaces and landscapes that surround him. He strives to explore and monumentalize these overlooked and forgotten pockets of daily life.

SUMMARY:Błażej Marczak |  Time Out
DESCRIPTION:Wall Space Gallery is pleased to present Time Out\, a solo exhibition by Błażej Marczak that maps Ottawa’s quiet transformations through a series of precisely observed photographs. Since relocating to the city in 2016\, Marczak has cultivated a slow\, deliberate gaze\, attuned to the subtle interplay between structure\, season\, and human presence across the urban landscape. \nBłażej Marczak is a documentary photographer currently focused on subjects in flux—urban landscapes that may soon change or disappear. He values the archival qualities of the medium\, employing a unembellished approach that conveys the character of a place. His practice avoids stylistic devices that decontextualise or artificially evoke nostalgia and is informed by the subject matter itself\, as well as by his wide-ranging interests and personal experiences.

SUMMARY:Haute Couture by OMMA
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world where canvas becomes cloth\, and creativity is stitched with imagination. \nThe Ottawa Mixed Media Art Show: Haute Couture invites you to experience fashion like never before—reimagined through texture\, colour\, and layered expression. This exhibition pays homage to the elegance of couture while breaking every rule it ever wrote. It is here\, in the interplay of paint and paper\, fabric and found object\, that high fashion finds new life beyond the runway. \nEach piece tells a story—of identity\, transformation\, rebellion\, and beauty. Artists weave together tradition and innovation\, thread and theme\, crafting visual symphonies that echo the meticulous artistry of bespoke design. From sculptural silhouettes to bold textile abstractions\, this is fashion unbound—reconstructed\, deconstructed\, and fearlessly redefined. \nHaute couture is no longer just what we wear—it’s what we feel\, what we create\, and what we dare to imagine. \nWelcome to a celebration of elegance\, edge\, and the exquisite power of mixed media.
