One wall of the gallery showing the new prints

The Connective has a new show up in the gallery at the Nepean Creative Arts Centre in Bells Corners featuring 20 new prints from 13 printmakers. The show will hang until January 9, 2020.

The colourful array of prints illustrates printmaking techniques such as linocut, collagraph, silkscreen, etching and drypoint and explores the theme of food, literally and figuratively. Guest curator is Madeleine Rousseau.

The vernissage, where you can meet the artists, will take place on Friday, November 15th from 6-8pm at the gallery, 39 rue Stafford Rd, Bells Corners. Please come and join us and bring friends and family members who might have an interest in art or printmaking in particular!

In her exhibition “Afield”, printmaker Deidre Hierlihy presents landscapes from two different places: the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa and Northern Ireland. The prints of the Central Experimental Farm were created over a period of 2 years. The prints of Ireland were created during a four-month Artsland artist-in-residency in 2019.

Dans son exposition “Aux Champs” la graveuse Deidre Hierlihy présente des paysages inspirés de deux lieux différents : la Ferme expérimentale centrale à Ottawa et l’Irlande du Nord. Les gravures de la Ferme expérimentale centrale ont été créées sur une période de deux ans. Pour leur part, les gravures d’Irlande ont été exécutées au cours d’une résidence d’artiste de quatre mois en 2019, dans le cadre du programme Artsland.
