SUMMARY:'A Murmuration of Whispers' - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Galerie Old Chelsea is thrilled to welcome Chelsea’s Reid McLachlan with “A Murmuration of Whispers”\, a compelling new body of work that offers a rare glimpse into his creative process. McLachlan’s paintings begin not with images\, but with words. Whether fragments\, phrases\, or complex thoughts\, his visual language emerges from an incessant\, shape-shifting murmuration of internal dialogue.  “A Murmuration of Whispers” is a conspiracy of letters\, words\, and symbols that whir overhead\, swooping and diving\, mutating into ephemeral hopes\, fugitive worries\, and tenacious regrets. \nEach piece originates in a chaotic blur of whispered text—amorphous as smoke in the breeze—twisting and turning until form begins to coalesce. From this shifting terrain\, visual narratives surface: solitary figures drift through silent\, indifferent landscapes\, searching for connection. Along their journeys\, they encounter enigmatic forces—trickster ravens\, counterfeit constellations\, unreliable Madonnas\, and other meddlesome presences—that guide or mislead them in equal measure. These figures\, suspended in a timeless world of longing and regret\, seek love and redemption while navigating a delicate balance between the conscious and subconscious. \nMcLachlan’s paintings reveal deeply personal reflections on life\, love\, and loss\, while resonating with a broader\, shared humanity. \nReid McLachlan studied at the Ontario College of Art and Design\, completing his final year at the OCAD campus in Florence\, Italy. He graduated with Honours winning multiple awards in 1987. For over 35 years\, he has lived and worked full-time in Chelsea\, where he remains an active member of the Chelsea/Wakefield artistic community. His work has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions at both public and private galleries\, including Galerie Montcalm\, Art-Image\, Karsh-Masson\, l’Imagier\, the Ottawa School of Art\, Cube Gallery\, and La Petite Mort.

SUMMARY:Bryna Cohen SPRING - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Bryna Cohen – Artist Statement \nPainting remains central to my practice\, even within the vast range of contemporary art. It is how I chose to express the beauty I see. Flora and vegetation have their own allure and vitality. Each painting begins with an emotional or sensory response to nature and evolves gradually on the canvas. Through layers of colour and careful reworking\, the image emerges over time\, allowing the original impulse to find clarity and voice. \nI use a wide tonal range of greens in my work- the colour of growth\, verdant life\, and hope. Illuminating the greens are the bright contrasting colours of flowers. The complex paths of intertwining\, stems or roots\, and foliage\, interspersed with vivid color\, create movement and growth. \nWhether flowers are contained in a vase or moving freely in space\, my goal is to capture the energy\, beauty and resilience of nature. \nAbout the Artist \nBorn in Montreal\, Bryna Polonsky Cohen has been a professional artist and art educator for more than 40 years. Having graduated from both McGill University in Arts and the University of Ottawa in Fine Arts\, Bryna has had extensive studio education. In 1970-71 she was accepted to the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design\, as well as having studied at the University of Michigan and at The American Center for Students and Artists in Paris. \nHer work is in the Collections of the City of Ottawa\, Global Affairs Canada\, and the Canada Council Art Bank\, as well as corporate and private collections including that of the late distinguished artist Mary Pratt. This is her 18th solo exhibition since 1992. As an active member of the Ottawa arts community\, Bryna was an art educator at The National Gallery of Canada\, an art instructor at the Ottawa School of Art\, and a founding member of the not-for-profit Ottawa lab ArtEngine.
