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:Winter Count: Embracing the Cold
DESCRIPTION:Featuring more than 150 works from the early 19th century to the present\, this exhibition brings together Indigenous\, Canadian settler and European perspectives on the subject. \nWinter Count delves into concepts of tradition\, identity and heritage as it explores how individual artists engage with winter motifs through objects\, paintings\, sculpture and works on paper. Historic Indigenous belongings are juxtaposed with works by contemporary artists like Inuit printmaker Pitseolak Ashoona and Cree artists Duane Linklater and Kent Monkman\, highlighting ancestral knowledge\, storytelling and contemporary critique. The exhibition then draws comparisons between Canadian painters such as Maurice Cullen and Clarence Gagnon and French Impressionists Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro\, focusing on their distinct approaches to capturing the effects of light on snow. Finally\, it reveals a shared visual language among Canadian artists like J.E.H. MacDonald and Lawren S. Harris and their Canadian and Scandinavian counterparts through the lens of winter. \nNamed for the pictorial records used by Indigenous nations from the Plains like the Lakota\, Winter Countreflects on themes of survival\, adaptation and kinship\, portraying winter as a transformative force that shapes human experience. \nThis exhibition is a collaboration between the departments of Indigenous Ways and Decolonization\, Canadian Art and European\, American and Asian art.

SUMMARY:Joanne Gauthier - Mesclun d'égarement
DESCRIPTION:En explorant la porcelaine et d’autres matériaux\, Joanne Gauthier construit une forme d’archéologie intime :\nune archive sensible\, à la fois vivante et vulnérable. Dans un mode où la transformation de notre environnement efface peu\nà peu le sacré\, Mesclun d’égarement déploie un corpus d’œuvres marqué par un contraste fort entre la densité de la matière et l’élan spirituel qu’elle évoque. Ce mélange sensoriel\, volontairement déroutant\, invite à perdre ses repères pour\nmieux interroger la nature sacrée des choses et leur inscription dans l’espace et le temps.

SUMMARY:Julie Beauchemin Mirrors
DESCRIPTION:My practice is grounded in abstract painting as a form of narrative construction. I approach painting as a language system\, where mark-making functions as syntax and movement across the surface reveals relationships between space\, time\, and gesture. Through layered processes of application\, erasure\, and accumulation\, my work navigates between intuition and deliberateness\, order and disruption. \nWorking primarily with mixed media on canvas\, I employ acrylic paint\, oil pastels\, spray paint\, inks\, and unconventional materials. These elements are applied through dense\, tactile passages and thin\, diluted washes\, allowing the history of the process to remain visible. While the work may initially suggest immediacy or spontaneity\, it is guided by sustained attention to composition\, colour\, rhythm\, and material interaction. \nMy paintings draw from street-based mark-making\, narrative painting\, and art-historical conventions\, positioning these references within a single visual field. I am interested in how gestures associated with immediacy and informality can coexist with formal painterly structure. Acts of scratching\, wiping\, and reworking are integral to the process\, introducing cycles of destruction and reconstruction that guide each painting toward resolution. \nBy working with multiple media and defragmenting established conventions\, my practice proposes a metalinguistic approach to painting—one that embraces contradiction\, physical presence\, and the visibility of process as essential components of meaning. \nMirrors serves as a conceptual lens for this body of work\, extending beyond literal reflection to consider how experience\, perception\, emotion\, and interaction are mirrored through the act of painting. The works emphasize response as a central principle\, where gestures unfold in relation to prior marks and material conditions\, much like the effects of our interactions on one another. Through layered material processes\, the paintings trace the imprint of response and presence\, while serving as records of moments in time.

SUMMARY:Imaginarium - Don Monet\, Beth Shepherd & Sarah Wayne
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Imaginarium — a space where memory\, myth\, and whimsy collide. Each work in this exhibition offers a doorway into a world just slightly askew from our own\, where the familiar transforms into the fantastical. Imagination reshapes the everyday\, inviting curiosity\, reflection\, and a quiet sense of wonder. \nDon Monet(link is external) focuses his practice on landscape\, photo-collage\, and acrylic painting on birch plywood. Through photo-collage and acrylic paint\, he creates sequences of fractured photos which are then unified through paint and traditional landscape techniques. Co-Founder and director of Cube Gallery\, Ottawa (2005-present)\, Don has organized dozens of thematic group exhibitions and solo shows and provided a venue for hundreds of artists. \nBeth Shepherd(link opens email application) is an Ottawa-based artist working in printmaking\, photography\, video\, and text. Situated at the intersection of ecology\, animal advocacy\, and ecocritical art history\, her multi-year art-research projects explore the non-human world and humanity’s impacts on it. In this exhibition\, the artist imagines a garden far beyond. \nSarah Wayne is an acrylic painter and mixed media artist creating works focused on abstracted figures and landscapes. An accountant by profession\, Wayne brings a structured and disciplined approach to her art. Her bold colour palette and emphasis on shape combine to create stimulating pieces that invite the eye to linger. \nASP Gallery\, Stafford Studios\nNepean Creative Arts Centre\, Unit 1\n35 Stafford Road\, Bells Corners\nFree admission \nThe gallery is open to the public by appointment only: cgc@ottawa.ca
