3. Luna Sole Restaurant

Marie Leger's Encaustic Images at Luna Sole
When:  March 31- May 5, 2015

A fresh exhibition of paintings has been mounted at Luna Sole Restaurant.

Marie Leger is showing a series of encaustic paintings that reflect her discovery of this medium and have become her favoured method of painting. The process is melted beeswax painted on a wooden surface then fused using a torch or heat gun.

Says Marie “I manipulate the wax through scraping, re-melting, drawing, painting and embedding found objects. This combination of painting and dimensional layering of wax and objects leads to rich textures and a luminous depth.” Luna Sole is located in the mall at Youville Drive and Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard

4a. “The Illusion of Reality” a Solo Exhibition by Margaret Chwialkowska.
 
When: April 18 – July 12, 2015 -- Opening: 30 April, 5:30pm
Location: OAG Annex Ottawa City HallVernissage on Thursday , April 30 at 5.30 at the OAG Annex at the City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West
 
Painting from lasting impressions rather than from photographs, Margaret Chwialkowska endeavours to capture the strong emotional impact that nature has on her. Inspired by the Ottawa-Gatineau landscape, she works mainly with a palette knife in the alla prima style, using bold colours and textures that allow for an indication of movement and the passage of time. In The Illusion of Reality, Chwialkowska explores the idea of reflection. The pools of reflection cast back unfolding manifestations: not only of the landscape, marked through the change of seasons, but also of the psyche of the artist which is coloured by the present. Both an illusion of reality and a mirror, the emphasis on reflection allows Chwialkowska to consider the long lasting effect that nature has had on her, contemplating not only her work, but her life as well.
 
Margaret Chwialkowska is an award-winning, Ottawa-based artist. Born and educated in Poland, Chwialkowska moved to Canada in 1979. She is a loyal supporter of Ottawa Riverkeeper, an organization dedicated to protect, promote, and improve the health and future of the Ottawa River.
