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.

SUMMARY:Nature Sous Tension
DESCRIPTION:Nature sous tension explore le fragile équilibre entre la beauté du monde naturel et les pressions silencieuses qu’il subit. À travers une série de gravures au burin – sur plexiglass\, imprimées comme des gravures sur bois\, et sur cuivre en intaglio – se dessinent des paysages d’apparence intacte\, mais subtilement altérés. \nDes virus\, des masques\, des déchets s’y glissent discrètement\, signes d’une intrusion humaine insidieuse. Ces éléments\, presque invisibles au premier regard\, rappellent que même la nature la plus préservée reste vulnérable aux blessures infligées par l’activité humaine.

SUMMARY:État Plasma
DESCRIPTION:État Plasma renvoie à un état mystérieux et omniprésent de la matière dans l’univers\, le plasma\, qui impacte la propagation des ondes radio dans l’ionosphère terrestre. L’exposition s’inspire des mystères d’une mission secrète américaine des années 1980 à Sainte-Hedwidge-de-Roberval\, qui aurait percé un présumé trou béant dans l’ionosphère\, semant le doute et la peur. \nLes artistes\, qui ont enquêté sur le spectre électromagnétique de la petite municipalité du Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean\, déploient une installation aux accents rétrofuturistes\, combinant éléments visuels\, sculpturaux et sonores à la fois familiers\, énigmatiques et rétrofuturistes. Leur projet associe avec poésie l’imaginaire scientifique à une expérience artistique de manipulation de l’invisible.

SUMMARY:HELEN MCNICOLL: AN IMPRESSIONIST JOURNEY
DESCRIPTION:Helen McNicoll: An Impressionist Journey invites audiences to rediscover the career of a pioneering Canadian artist\, whose luminous paintings captured everyday life\, nature\, and modern womanhood. \nCelebrated by critics for her mastery of light and the immersive quality of her subjects\, Helen McNicoll (1879–1915) helped elevate the profile of Canadian art on both sides of the Atlantic. She was elected to the Royal Society of British Artists in 1913\, and the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts the following year. She died in 1915\, at the age of 35. \nAdapted for the National Gallery of Canada\, Helen McNicoll: An Impressionist Journey highlights the artist’s depictions of work\, harvest\, and markets; her intimate portrayals of children and domestic life; and her vision of women as independent and socially engaged. The exhibition features more than eighty works – including paintings\, sketchbooks\, and rare archival materials – illuminating McNicoll’s complex and modern perspective on art and life.
