SUMMARY:Haute Couture by OMMA - Vernissage
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.

SUMMARY:Helen Nhan DEFINITIONS - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Helen Nhan\nDEFINITIONS \nSeptember 25 – October 14\nVernissage: Saturday\, September 27\, 2:00 – 5:00pm\nNhan StatementIn 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. It is accessible from Murray Street and Clarence Street. Keep in mind parking is only $4 on the weekends!

SUMMARY:Brian Beavis & Veronika McKerrell - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Born in England\, Brian Beavis discovered his passion for art at a private school in Bournemouth\, where he won several awards at the Royal Drawing Society. Initially working in watercolors\, he fell in love with acrylic paint\, captivated by its vibrant colors. In 1971\, a book about Piet Mondrian confirmed his artistic direction\, but he set aside painting for many years\, only returning in 2018. \nAlthough painting still serves as a meditative hobby for him\, he has been exploring free form\, inspired by macramé\, to which  he started adding dowel rods and other elements. His works\, ranging from small to very large\, develop organically without planning\, revealing recognizable patterns. A few years ago\, he observed a perceptible influence of the De Stijl movement  in his free form creations. \n* * * \nVeronika McKerrell\, a self-taught artist\, has dedicated the last decade to painting practice and studying art history. She studied figurative and landscape art in Edinburgh\, Scotland and portraiture and figurative work in London\, UK. \nHer art blends landscape and figurative styles\, featuring gestural\, intuitive marks that create a visceral texture. McKerrell’s experimental approach captures the essence of nature\, inviting viewers to experience the textured beauty and deep connection she feels with the environment. \nwww.veronikamckerrell.com

DESCRIPTION:L’exposition sera présentée à la Galerie Montcalm\, du 23 août au 05 octobre 2025. \nLà où il n’y a rien\, il y a quelque chose.\nQuelque chose qui a une énergie.

SUMMARY:Vanessa McKernan | Dusk and Boyd Waites | New Works Feature - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Wall Space Gallery is proud to present Vanessa McKernan’s solo exhibition Dusk. An oil painter who recently relocated from Toronto to the Ottawa Valley\, McKernan creates dreamlike\, emotionally resonant works that blur the lines between intentional thought and the subconscious. Her practice draws deeply from the garden as a recurring symbol\, exploring themes of impermanence\, intimacy\, mothering\, and the cycles of death and rebirth. Infused with personal experience\, historical references\, and intuitive imagery\, her paintings offer a poetic meditation on the complexities of the feminine psyche. \nMcKernan holds a BFA from Concordia University\, is a two-time recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Award\, and is supported by the Ontario Arts Council. \nWall Space Gallery is proud to present Boyd Waites’ latest feature of new works. With imagery that is partially obscured and grounded in landscape\, these paintings encourage a personal and emotional response. Waites invites viewers to interpret each piece through their own sensory experience. The use of soft blending\, thin layers\, and subtle transitions creates a quiet\, atmospheric quality. This approach may evoke a sense of calm\, contemplation\, or memory. The works suggest a reflective mood and a quiet strength\, offering space for thought and interpretation rather than directing it. This collection continues Waites’ exploration of tone\, space\, and feeling.

SUMMARY:Two Views On Nature by Natalie Louise & Lucie Bertrand - Vernissage
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:Drew Klassen\, Bloemstukken - Vernissage
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:Hélène Roy & Wendy A. Thomas - Vernissage
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 - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Vernissage: 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:Pierre Debain: The Journey of a Dedicated Artist - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Pierre Debain: The Journey of a Dedicated Artist\, curated by Kali Kim\, Lindsay Sabourin\, and Philippe Bourdau\, will be on view at Espace Pierre-Debain from June 18 to August 17\, 2025. \nCelebrating a milestone\, L’Imagier traces its roots back to 1975\, when it began as a vibrant community space for friends\, family\, and rising artistic talents. Fifty years later\, curator Simon Debain revisits this rich history in a two-part exhibition—presented simultaneously at Espace Pierre-Debain and the L’Imagier Exhibition Center. \nFollowing the municipal merger\, the newly formed City of Gatineau undertook the renovation of the former courthouse—a heritage building located in the Aylmer sector—and transformed it into a cultural center. It established its craft gallery within this space\, which will carry the name Espace Pierre-Debain\, in tribute to the artist who\, together with his partner Yvette Bond\, has profoundly shaped the cultural landscape of the region since their arrival. \nEspace Pierre-Debain offers visitors a unique opportunity to delve into the creative world of Pierre Debain through a curated selection of works that highlight the richness of his mediums and artistic practice. \nThe second part of the exhibition will be presented at L’Imagier in the fall of 2025. This continuation will revisit the center’s origins\, celebrate its artistic and community impact\, and showcase the unique space that Pierre and Yvette Debain envisioned and brought to life. \nFurther details will be available soon at limagier.qc.ca.

SUMMARY:Behind the Curtain - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:all 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.

SUMMARY:Land of my Dreams - Solo Exhibition by Lucie Olson: Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Lucie Olson’s Land of my Dreams exhibition displays her latest paintings\, most of them done in oil and cold wax medium\, which she is thrilled to share with local art enthusiasts. \nLucie is a Gatineau-based artist who graduated from the Fine Arts Diploma Program at the Ottawa School of Art in 2022. Since then\, her curiosity led her to discover oil and cold wax medium\, which lends itself well to a loose application approach devoid of precision. She  loves the ability to create layers of colors and then subtract or scrape off sections to reveal the beautiful colors underneath. She says it’s like playing a game of hide and seek. \nShe is intrigued by abstraction and often explores it in her creations. “I mostly paint from my imagination without any preconceived ideas\, letting colours and shapes emerge on the surface. The evolving scenery changes constantly\, like in a meandering dream.  I am a nature-lover and most of my compositions inevitably morph into recognizable natural elements such as forests\, vegetation\, mountains and water.”

SUMMARY:Les secrets du vent\, Anne-Yvonne Jouan - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:L’exposition « Les secrets du vent » de l’artiste Anne-Yvonne Jouan sera présentée à l’Espace Pierre-Debain\, du 9 avril au 1 juin 2025. \nAnne-Yvonne Jouan crée des jardins à partir de papier et de végétaux séchés\, récoltés dans son environnement à l’île d’Orléans. Ses œuvres fascinantes témoignent des mouvements de la nature\, des variations de la lumière et du cycle perpétuel des saisons. \nL’exposition permet de découvrir la technique unique et minutieuse de l’artiste qui transcende des matériaux dits « pauvres » du rien au précieux. \nAnne-Yvonne Jouan est une artiste franco-canadienne qui partage sa vie entre la Bretagne en France et l’île d’Orléans au Québec. Depuis plusieurs années\, la fibre constitue son médium de prédilection. Ses oeuvres en trois dimensions sont principalement composées de papier découpé\, de matières organiques et végétales. Son travail avec ce matériau simple\, souvent considéré « pauvre »\, propose l’exploration de micro-paysages qui nous ramènent à l’essentiel\, à la nature\, à la vie. \nDiplômée d’une maîtrise en droit des affaires et de l’École du Louvre en histoire de l’art\, elle a exercé le métier de commissaire-priseur en France durant une dizaine d’années avant d’immigrer au Canada en 2006. Elle a appris la technique du dessin à l’Académie d’art réaliste de Toronto (ARA) et a reçu plusieurs bourses du Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ).\nSes oeuvres de papier ont été exposées dans de nombreux musées et centres d’expositions publiques au Canada\, dont le musée Marius-Barbeau en 2021 et le Centre national d’exposition en 2022. En 2023 et 2024\, ses Jardins de papier ont été présentés au Centre d’art de La Sarre\, au Centre national d’exposition à Jonquière\, à la Villa Bagatelle et au Centre Materia à Québec ainsi qu’au Musée des métiers d’art du Québec. En 2025 et 2026\, son travail sera présenté à Paris et en Bretagne. \nNous vous invitons en grand nombre au vernissage de l’exposition qui aura lieu le mercredi 9 avril 2025\, de 18 h à 20 h\, à l’Espace Pierre-Debain\, situé au Centre culturel du Vieux Aylmer\, au 120\, rue Principale à Gatineau. \nL’entrée est libre et gratuite.
