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.

SUMMARY:Paysager\, Émilie Rondeau - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:« Paysager » évoque la traversée d’un vaste territoire. Modulée par une variété de matériaux et de technologies\, cette promenade à laquelle nous convie l’artiste à travers les différentes stations de l’exposition\, retrace les étapes de son processus créatif.\nDes assemblages multiples se construisent de manière organique par l’accumulation des textures et des couleurs\, des jeux d’échelle et d’effets d’ombre et de lumière. Issus d’un langage hybride\, ces dispositifs s’animent et se transforment mutuellement\, créant de nouvelles associations qui nous amènent à mi-chemin entre le monde des objets et celui de l’abstraction. \nNous vous invitons en grand nombre au vernissage de l’exposition qui aura lieu le jeudi 3 avril 2025\, de 19 h à 21 h\, à la Galerie Montcalm\, située au 1er étage de la Maison du Citoyen au 25\, rue Laurier à Gatineau. \nL’entrée est libre et gratuite.

SUMMARY:Wilderness Stories by Dawn McArthur
DESCRIPTION:Galerie Old Chelsea is thrilled to announce its latest exhibition featuring the works of Dawn McArthur\, a unique visual storyteller and wilderness artist\, known for her evocative acrylic paintings that capture the vibrant essence of the Quebec wilderness. The exhibition will showcase McArthur’s unique approach to art\, blending storytelling\, symbolism\, and a deep connection to nature. \nMcArthur’s work is inspired by the stunning landscapes of Quebec\, where she finds inspiration in the wild beauty that surrounds her. Through her expressive paintings\, McArthur celebrates “The Wild” with playful optimism\, reflecting her personal outlook on life. Each piece is a testament to her belief in the power of art to connect people to the natural world\, both consciously and subconsciously. \n“Storytelling and symbolism are key components to my art\,” says McArthur. “My paintings are about more than just the image—they are an invitation to reflect on our relationship with nature. Through the use of colour-play\, strong lines\, and composition\, I aim to create harmony and balance that guides the viewer through a story of the wilderness.” \nInfluenced by renowned artists such as Chagall\, Seurat\, Morisseau\, Klimt\, and Franz Marc\, McArthur’s style merges realism and surrealism\, using bold\, black lines to outline her subjects and add energy\, balance\, and focus to her work. The distinct brush strokes of color within her landscapes contrast with the realistic depiction of wildlife\, bringing an element of surrealism that invites the viewer to see the natural world in a new light. In her paintings\, even fish in the deep waters are fully visible\, challenging the boundaries between reality and imagination. \nMcArthur’s vibrant palette\, rich textures\, and thoughtful compositions encourage the viewer to step into the scene and experience the wilderness in all its beauty. The stories embedded within each painting reflect McArthur’s personal mandate: to instill a sense of wonder and a desire to protect the natural world. \nThis exhibition offers a unique opportunity to experience McArthur’s deep love for the Quebec wilderness and her vision for preserving it through art. Galerie Old Chelsea invites art lovers and nature enthusiasts alike to join us for the opening and explore the vivid landscapes and captivating stories that McArthur so masterfully brings to life.

SUMMARY:David Lidbetter | Old Hull: An Artist’s Journey of Forgotten Memories
DESCRIPTION:Wall Space Gallery is pleased to present a feature of David Lidbetter’s most recent watercolour painting collection entitled\, Old Hull: An Artist’s Journey of Forgotten Memories. \n“Old Hull: An Artist’s Journey of Forgotten Memories is a painting exhibition that explores the lost stories and fading history of Old Hull. Through evocative brushstrokes and rich textures\, the artist captures the spirit of forgotten spaces\, shifting landscapes and personal recollections\, inviting viewers on a nostalgic journey through time. Each piece serves as a tribute to the city’s past\, blending memory and imagination to preserve its essence before it fades away.” \n– David Lidbetter

SUMMARY:Michelle Valberg | Beyond the Spectrum: Infrared Wavelengths
DESCRIPTION:Wall Space Gallery is proud to present the newest photographic work by Order of Canada recipient Michelle Valberg in a solo exhibition entitled Beyond the Spectrum: Infrared Wavelengths. \n“As a wildlife photographer\, I’ve always been drawn to capturing the natural world in its raw\, authentic beauty. With my Beyond the Spectrum: Infrared Wavelengths exhibition\, I wanted to step outside the familiar\, challenge my own perspective and invite viewers to see the world through a new lens—literally. Using my Nikon ZF camera\, converted to infrared\, I’ve explored how unseen light can transform the landscapes and wildlife I’ve loved photographing for years.” \n– Michelle Valberg

SUMMARY:People in places with things by Mike Minor - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:I am enthralled by the human animal and its stubbornly consistent spirit\, timelessly emotional conditions\, and varied environments. My paintings build humbly on works of traditional painters laid down through the millennium. I want to tell timeless stories with my pictures and leave them to the collective whole of works.  In this exhibit\, I explore people\, places\, and things.  In each piece—figurative work\, portraits\, landscapes\, and still life paintings—I express on the canvas thoughts I cannot convey in words.\n There will be an opening reception (or vernissage) at the Gallery from 1:00-4:00 PM\, Saturday 1 March. You are all invited and welcome.

SUMMARY:From Her Hands - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition From Her Hands pays tribute to women and the essential roles they play in creating a generous\, loving\, and hopeful world. Using the universal symbol of the hand\, the paintings celebrate women of all ages\, genders\, cultures\, and abilities. \nThe works explore the everyday lives of women\, showcasing a range of gestures—from professional tasks to mundane\, repetitive\, affectionate\, or intimate actions. Some gestures are automatic\, others precise\, but all reveal deeply personal\, caring experiences. Viewers are invited to reflect on the often-overlooked importance of our hands\, which are central to our life stories. \nDisplayed in a simple\, minimalist linear arrangement\, the paintings encourage a close\, intimate viewing experience\, highlighting the equality of all the women depicted.

SUMMARY:Valerie Ryan Drawing with the Brush - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Artist Statement\nReviewing my old sketchbooks\, I discovered a comment made by one of my teacher’s that I had an energetic hand!  That comment made me laugh and encouraged me to continue working outdoors exploring the landscape. Outside\, the strokes seem to both describe the form and give it colour. Outlines disappear. The brushwork is loose and almost abstract\, yet it still has integrity and describe the forms. It is a balancing act that at times can be difficult out in the elements. I have been working smaller outdoors.  The smaller paintings are a good aid to working larger in the studio. In the early dark months of winter\, flowers have been the subject of choice. \nRyan Bio \nValerie Ryan completed a B.F.A (Queen’s University) and a M.F.A. (University of Saskatchewan). She attended many Emma Lake Artists workshops through the 1980’s. It was there that she felt free to paint outdoors and explore loose brushwork and colour. A practice she has continued for over 40 years. She taught at the National Gallery of Canada and the Ottawa School of Art. Her paintings are in many corporate and private collections.
