SUMMARY:Drew Klassen\, Bloemstukken
DESCRIPTION:Klassen Statement \nGrowing up\, I used to watch my grandmother paint in her spare bedroom\, which served as her studio. Often she’d paint flowers. Sometimes\, to keep me occupied\, she would give me a small panel and a palette of dabs of oil paints (toxicity notwithstanding)\, and I’d try to paint what she was painting. She sometimes painted landscapes\, and sometimes flowers. My first oil painting was a small copy of one of her flower paintings\, signed on the back: ‘flowers\, by andrew’ in orange crayon. \nI haven’t always been a painter of flowers. At first\, I just painted what I saw around me but more recently\, I’ve appreciated the rigour and shape to the flower paintings by traditional Dutch or Flemish painters—paintings that moved away from simply depicting flowers in a plain botanical sense\, but also gave structure\, and which pointed towards a framework of abstraction. At the time\, these paintings were simply called ‘flower pieces’\, or\, in the tradition\, ‘bloemstukken.’ \nKlassen Biography \nDrew Klassen was born in Toronto\, and lived there until he was about four months old. He then settled in Winnipeg\, along with his parents. His grandmother\, a draughtsperson by profession and avid painter by inclination\, lived close by\, and usually looked after him when his parents were out for an evening\, or traveling. To keep him occupied\, she would often give him a pencil and spread out a discarded blueprint for him to draw on\, or give him a small canvas panel and a small palette of her oil paints to play with while he watched her paint. He didn’t dream a child’s dream of being an artist\, but those early years inculcated a habit of looking at things carefully\, and describing them with a pencil and imagination. \nFast forward to 1986: Klassen enrolled at the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design\, in Halifax\, where he studied drawing\, sculpture\, and typography. During his studies at NSCAD\, his family urged him to take up a ‘sensible’ profession\, and eventually he enrolled at the Dalhousie University School of Architecture\, and graduated with a Master’s degree in architecture in 1992. But the year of his graduation was at the beginning of a global recession\, and architectural work was sparse\, so he returned to his first loves: painting and drawing. His current work tries to combine the two.\nKlassen currently lives and works in Ottawa\, Ontario\, Canada. \nParking is available on the street and in the parking garage right behind the gallery. It is accessible from Murray Street and Clarence Street. Keep in mind parking is only $4 on the weekends!

SUMMARY:Two Views On Nature by Natalie Louise & Lucie Bertrand
DESCRIPTION:Galerie Old Chelsea is pleased to present “Two Views On Nature”\, bringing together the evocative works of artists Natalie Louise and Lucie Bertrand\, each drawing inspiration from the richness and diversity of the natural world. Though their techniques and perspectives differ\, both artists share a deep reverence for nature\, translating its beauty into works that are immersive\, poetic\, and emotionally resonant. \nNatalie Louise – Wonder Captured on Canvas \nA self-taught painter from Val-des-Monts\, Natalie Louise invites viewers into serene landscapes infused with light and tranquility. Her acrylic paintings are rooted in careful observation and inspired by real places—often captured during hikes and travels. Through a close-up\, eye-level perspective\, she offers a warm\, welcoming   vision of nature that emphasizes peacefulness and authenticity. Her work gently urges us to pause\, breathe\, and take in the quiet splendour of the natural world. \nLucie Bertrand – An Exploration of Matter and Textures \nWorking in encaustic—a medium of hot wax infused with pigments—Lucie Bertrand creates textured\, multi-layered compositions that blend organic materials such as leaf-dyed paper\, metal fragments\, and aged documents. Her art is tactile and sensory\, echoing the strength and fragility of nature. Lucie’s abstract\, luminous works are as much about process as they are about form\, capturing the ever-evolving dance between materiality and transformation. \nFrom September 4 to 21\, 2025 – Wednesday to Saturday from noon to 6 pm and Sunday from noon to 5 pm

SUMMARY:Hélène Roy & Wendy A. Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Born in Hearst\, Ontario\, Hélène now resides in Lefaivre\, Ontario. She enjoys painting on barnboard and wooden rounds\, experimenting with oil\, watercolor\, acrylic\, and mixed media techniques\, including acrylic on tissue paper. Her work spans semi-realism to abstract expression\, exploring diverse subjects and approaches.\nA lifelong art enthusiast\, she participated in unique projects throughout high school and has since exhibited in numerous shows and holiday markets. For her\, painting is a rewarding way to explore creativity and personal expression. She is a member and volunteer at Arbor Gallery.\n* * *\nWendy A. Thomas is a Montreal-based artist whose work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across Quebec and Ontario. Her paintings are represented in private collections in Canada\, the U.S.\, the Philippines\, and Bulgaria\, and have been highlighted in publications including *Embossed* and *The Review*.\nIn her semi-abstract work\, Wendy explores scale and perception\, inspired by her photography of the urban environment. She observes often-overlooked details — scratches\, dents\, and marks on concrete walls — and seeks to reveal the hidden beauty within them. Working in acrylic\, she layers paint and textures to create depth\, inviting viewers to look beyond the surface\, embrace ambiguity\, and discover new interpretations.

SUMMARY:Settling down - Feeling Nature’s Breath by Catherine Veilleux
DESCRIPTION:From July 3 to 20\, 2025 – Wednesday to Saturday from noon to 6 pm and Sunday from noon to 5 pm \nVernissage: Saturday July 5\, 2025 from 1 to 3 pm \nGalerie Old Chelsea is delighted to present the wonderful intimate nature photographs of Catherine Veilleux\, who presented her magnificent exhibition “Entre-deux” two years ago. \nAs Veilleux tells us\, “After ‘Entre-deux’\, which has guided my gaze over the last few years\, I’m now presenting images in which one settles down – not by fleeing the tumult\, but by embracing it. Anchoring oneself in instability is a fluid dance\, and my photographs\, imbued with minimalism\, reflect this inner journey: they invite us to relax\, to breathe\, to gently connect with nature’. \nTypically composed of two colours\, sometimes just one\, and largely immersed in blur\, her images leave room for the essential\, for sensation rather than definition. Mounted on wooden panels and protected by a natural finish\, they offer themselves without barriers\, without glass\, to provide a direct\, intimate – almost tactile – presence to the viewer. \nAt a time of ever-increasing visual noise and constant urgency\, Settling Down offers something rare: a quiet\, open invitation to linger in complexity and find calm there.  An exhibition not to be missed.

SUMMARY:Threads of Memory Julie Gladstone & Olivia Mae Sinclair
DESCRIPTION:WALL SPACE GALLERY is pleased to present Threads of Memory\, an exhibition featuring the work of Julie Gladstone and Olivia Mae Sinclair. In this powerful and introspective presentation\, both artists engage in intimate dialogues with themes of trauma\, memory\, and transformation. Through their deeply personal practices\, they navigate the intersection of inner experience and external reality\, examining how time\, spirituality\, and the physical body inform processes of healing and renewal. \nPresented alongside Threads of Memory are new works by Marney McDiarmid\, a ceramic artist based in Katarokwi/Kingston. Known for her functional and sculptural ceramics\, McDiarmid’s latest pieces will be showcased in the gallery’s window display from June 14 to 28\, 2025.

SUMMARY:The Posthumous Destiny of Bodies by Judith Bellavance
DESCRIPTION:In this installation composed of photographs\, videos\, and objects\, Judith Bellavance embraces evocation\, suggestion\, and poetic resonance to explore themes of disappearance and transformation in the natural world. Like contemporary still lifes\, the works that guide this immersive\, walk-through experience form a shifting narrative centered on the idea of loss. \nUsing impermanence as a unifying thread\, Bellavance gently translates the process of endings and their quiet resolutions. Yet within this meditation on absence\, she offers a subtle invitation to hope—a quiet affirmation in the face of vanishing.

SUMMARY:Migration Stories
DESCRIPTION:Six artists present their “stories” of migration\, reflecting the vast instinctual or altered journeys of animals and plants\, and forced human expulsion or immigration to places of hope and opportunity. The intertwining of these diverse migration stories reveals the growing complexity and urgency of species in motion. \nThe Migration artists are members of the Ottawa-Gatineau Printmakers Connective. Drawn together by the theme in 2023\, they have been exploring the political\, economic\, and ecological aspects of migration through the creation of 2- and 3-dimensional print-based art in a variety of printmaking techniques and materials.

SUMMARY:Urban Perspectives By Maurice Dionne
DESCRIPTION:In Maurice Dionne’s latest art exhibition\, “Urban Perspectives\,” he invites viewers to explore the intricate interplay between its built environment and the life that pulses within it. Through a series of captivating cityscapes and streetscapes\, Dionne captures not just the architecture and buildings but also the very essence of urban existence—the stories that unfold before us in every corner\, every shadow. \nDionne’s watercolour paintings range from small intimate pieces to large expansive works. As you wander through his collection\, you’ll notice how each piece reflects a unique interpretation of the city’s persona. The light dances across surfaces while shadows create depth\, inviting us to feel and grasp the nuances of urban life. He meticulously depicts what he sees and experiences in his surroundings—transforming mundane moments into extraordinary discoveries. \nHis work allows us to see how beauty often resides in tiny details—the reflections on a puddle after rain or the architectural shapes that frame our daily journeys. The cultural patterns woven into our lifestyle and habits seamlessly adapt to new environments\, making them our own. In this way\, Dionne adds his colours to each scene\, infusing personal interpretations into familiar landscapes. \nAs we engage with these artworks\, we are reminded that urban spaces are not just physical locations but dynamic entities filled with stories waiting to be uncovered. Each brushstroke invites us to experience our cities anew—to appreciate their beauty and complexity while reflecting on our own perspectives within them. Through “Urban Perspectives\,” Maurice Dionne offers an invitation: step closer\, observe deeply\, and discover your own narrative amidst the vibrant tapestry of urban life.

SUMMARY:Les Grands Bleus: Micros and Macrocosms in all their magnificence
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is proud to present its new exhibition\, “Les Grands Bleus: Micros and Macrocosms in All Their Magnificence\,” featuring the remarkable works of landscape artist Nathalie Frenière and ceramic artist Lise BL Goulet.

SUMMARY:Behind the Curtain
DESCRIPTION:Wall Space Gallery is proud to present “Behind the Curtain\,” a group exhibition of paintings by Kelly Grace\, Andrew Beck\, Elle Chae\, and Jay Li. The artists in “Behind the Curtain” construct worlds through the collapse of linear time\, combining past eras or moments from personal archives in snapshots of layered imagery that capture the stretching and tidal current of time in motion. \nBeck\, Chae\, Grace and Li reveal the ways in which we are drawn to creating meaning through visual imagery\, and subsequently\, painting’s ability to question the solidity of the structures underlying that meaning. Each uses the malleable constructs of time\, cultural memory\, and personal experience to grasp the slippery threads of reality\, if only for a moment. \nOpening reception on Thursday\, May 1 from 5 – 7 PM

SUMMARY:Terra : The Good Earth by Olga Kay-Grigoriev and Erin Thibault
DESCRIPTION:Galerie Old Chelsea is pleased to present the art by two of ten Galerie Old Chelsea’s owners\, Erin Thibault & Olga Kay-Grigoriev who are excited to share their love of the natural world. Whether it’s the light cascading through the trees\, as Erin captures in her paintings\, or the subtle details of a single leaf carved out of wood by Olga\, both artists give homage to the beauty of nature that is all around us in the Gatineau Hills. \nErin’s work is inspired by her deep connection to nature\, to wild spaces and\nto the natural world around her. Her paintings are rather dreamy\, as she paints the essence of the subject rather than its exacting details.  As Picasso famously said…” I begin with an idea and it becomes something else”. Erin’s works will often start with a particular scene and at a certain point will organically shift into an entirely different image. She allows whatever is claiming the canvas to do so\, letting go of the reigns and allowing the essential to come through. She can often see it emerging and flows with it.  She considers herself an intuitive painter\, working in an impressionist style. \nFollowing a fulfilling career in education\, Olga turned to wood sculpture as a new way of artistic expression. She trained first with a fellow artist to discover the potential of various mechanical and hand-carving tools\, then took courses in sculpture in Florence\, Italy\, and also life drawing at the Ottawa School of Art\, Olga now spends time in her Quebec studio putting the learning to practice in a process of playful experimentation as new ideas come to mind. \nShe enjoys working with wood as it evokes a banquet of sensory stimulation and a warmth only nature can convey. Carving is a satisfying process which offers sufficient challenge and risk to keep her interest. Olga’s material comes from fallen trees on her property or from the surrounding Gatineau Hills. Her muse is the journey of life\, through love and loss\, joy and sorrow and all the stories in between. Animals\, people and objects in nature are the subject of her work. Her pieces reside in many homes and gardens. She welcomes special commissions\, for in art\, just as in life\, anything is possible. \nIn addition to the vernissage on Saturday May 10\, Erin et Olga will be present at the gallery on the following days: \nErin: Friday May 2 from noon to 3:00 pm. / Friday May 9 and 16 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 / Saturday May 3 from noon to 3:00 / Saturday May 17 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm \nOlga: Sunday May 4\,11 and 18 from 1:00pm to 4:00 pm
