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:Sunlit Moments by Marianne Feaver
DESCRIPTION:From November 6 to 23\, 2025 – Wednesday to Saturday from noon to 6 pm and Sunday from noon to 5 pm \nVernissage: Saturday\, November 8\, 2025\, from 1 to 4 pm\nMarianne Feaver celebrates the natural world through colour and light. Fleeting moments of radiance – sunlight filtering through trees\, the shimmer of water across a lake or the dancing highlights of flower petals – form the heart of her work.  Her inspiration is drawn from the landscapes that surround her; the forest trails of the Gatineau Hills or the peaceful\, rugged beauty that surrounds Wakefield. \nThrough vivid colour and loose\, expressive brushstrokes\, Marianne translates her emotional response to the landscape onto canvas.  Each painting seeks to capture the awe\, joy and serenity found in those moments – the stillness of reflection\, the brilliance of passing light\, the quiet energy of the natural world. \nHer works invite the viewer to pause and be immersed in the harmony and vitality of the scene – to breathe\, to feel the exuberance\, and to be transported to a place of peace and familiarity.

SUMMARY:Isabelle Gauvreau - TIME
DESCRIPTION:Isabelle Gauvreau’s work has always focused on the human condition and\, more specifically\, on the interpretation of the female body through the development of a highly personal visual language. Her practice is inspired by a long lineage of women artists influenced by feminism\, from the 1970s to the present day. \nThis series is an emotional and visual response to existential questions in the face of today’s global crises. From these impressions of rupture\, what emerges\, if not\, as Leonard Cohen suggested\, light? Gauvreau seeks to bring together what unites us: light as well as darkness\, for one cannot exist without the other. \nThis duality manifests in the series through contrasts of splashes\, golden orbs\, and white flashes on dark backgrounds\, all striving toward harmony. In response to a growing need to reconnect with nature\, Gauvreau also explores more elaborate techniques\, adding colour with stick paint\, which brings an even more earthy quality to her work than usual. \nCollage on Japanese paper remains central to the artist’s approach. The use of gold leaf and pigments serves as an anchor and symbolizes a connection to nature. Writing and drawing intertwine in layered compositions over collage and ink drips\, encounters that evoke complex impressions.

SUMMARY:An Nguyen\, "Fortune" Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Artist Statement\n\n\n\n\nAs immigrants entering a foreign land\, we all share the common desire to make our new country a place we can freely call home. We make efforts\, from bringing our culinary traditions\, to running enterprises that shape a nation’s economic future. As newcomers we do so with innovation\, grit and determination. Our journeys to freedom are often fought with challenges\, sacrifice\, and difficult decisions. \nApril 30th\, 2025 marks the 50th anniversary since the fall of Saigon. The Canadian government recognizes this day as a national day to commemorate the large exodus of Vietnamese refugees and their acceptance into Canada. Through art\, I bear witness to this historical event by creating a series of paintings\,  which illustrates the story of my refugee beginnings and celebrates how far I’ve come. My vivid paintings chronicle the perilous journey of leaving Vietnam to stories of life as an Canadian immigrant. \nDuring the Vietnam war\, my parents lived through the trauma of hearing constant gunshots while watching the skies engulfed in flames. They heard cries of those lost at sea and witnessed children die in the arms of their parents. They saw the desperate who tossed their offspring onto precarious vessels in  the hopes that their child might find potential refuge. These memories are etched in their hearts and forever changed their view on life and parenting. \nMy brother and I grew up in a home grounded in traditional values situated within a typical Canadian milieu. Growing up\, most of what we learned about the Vietnam War was through our parents. My parents taught us how to cook old family recipes so that we remember where we came from\, while watching Wheel of Fortune. They planted flowers to beautify our home\, while cultivating basil and chili plants for aromatic dishes. As stoic survivors of war\, they cried when I graduated from university. They decorated the house in “lucky” red to affirm their happiness during my tea ceremony\, and shared laughter and joy when I danced at my wedding. They are changemakers who bravely risked everything so that we could live in safety to pursue our hopes and dreams. As a child of these war heroes\, I honour their valour and courage in the face of such seemingly insurmountable adversity. \nThis exhibition showcases\, how my road to a bright future\, was  founded on decades of personal sacrifices and hardship. For many Vietnamese Boat People\, crossing the tumultuous South China Sea was a huge risk. Like many immigrant families our origins were humble\, but overtime we have made substantial contributions to our communities\, while preserving our heritage and customs. It is my hope that this exposition celebrates the half-century of achievements of the Vietnamese diaspora and the triumphs we have made in the face of adversity. Let this show be a beacon of light that shines luck on those who today make similar perilous journeys. May their “hopes adrift” in the water\, to light a path towards safety and a better future. \nAn Nguyen \n\n\nGrand Opening : \nNOV 6\, 2025\, 5:30pm to 7:30pm\, \nAtrium Art Gallery\, Ben Franklin Place\, 101 Centre Point Drive\, Ottawa\, ON \nFree Family Friendly Event \n

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:Winter Count: Embracing the Cold - Vernissage
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:Jean-François Provost - Transit Points
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together works created at moments of transition—a threshold between one place\, one inner state\, and another. Some paintings were born out of fleeting but deeply inspiring encounters\, brief connections that sparked creative momentum of rare intensity. Others\, more silent\, bear the mark of an intimate transition from one place to another. \nThe exhibition is an invitation to explore these passages\, those that connect\, those that separate\, those that transform. To feel the beauty of what appears\, what dissolves\, and what remains. My work revolves around the imprint left by these passages that shape our relationship with the world. \nJean-François Provost holds a degree in visual arts from the University of Quebec in Outaouais. His paintings and drawings have been exhibited in Canada\, the United States\, and Europe. He has received several awards and honours for his work as a painter. His works can be found in several collections\, including those of Loto-Québec\, Global Affairs Canada\, Provigo\, the City of Ottawa\, the City of Gatineau\, CitiFinancial\, Brookfield Energy\, as well as in numerous corporate and private collections in the United States\, Canada\, Europe\, and the Middle East. He is represented by Galerie St-Laurent + Hill and Galerie de Bellefeuille.

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.
