4. Blackburn Library Exhibition


The Blackburn Library in conjunction with Arteast is proud to present an exhibition of
two different streams of Linda Foley’s art. The first is comprised of an organic medium made of beeswax and dammar resin called, “encaustic”. One piece is inspired by Dr. Ali Arya’s (Carleton University) research into using avatar based multi-modal in virtual environments. In this piece, among other things, the main character, “The Brain” (from the cartoon “Pinky and the Brain”), is transferring his intelligence to his larger than life avatar with the hope that his invincible archetype will fulfill his ambition for world domination. Incidentally, this piece received the Best Artwork Award at the first Ottawa Creative Reactions event, “where art meets science”. The smaller encaustic pieces are parodies that also include popular cartoon characters mirroring Linda’s sense of humour. The second stream of her works are large abstract acrylic paintings inspired by industrial settings. While each collection is drastically different, both represent the artist’s varied interests.



This is a unique opportunity for the public to enjoy, encourage and support local artists in their community as well as engaging with the Blackburn Library.

Location: 199 Glenpark Dr. Ottawa K1B 5B8.

Hours: Mon. through Thurs from 10 – 8:30
Friday from 1 – 6:00
Sat. from 10 – 5
Closed Sunday

*******************


La bibliothèque de Blackburn en conjointement avec Arteast est fière de présenter une exposition de deux volets représentant l’art de Linda Foley. Le premier est constitué d’un médium organique créer à partir de cire d’abeille et de résine dammar appelé « encaustique ». Une des œuvres est inspirée par les recherches du Dr. Ali Arya (Université de Carleton) qui porte sur l’utilisation de multimodalités basé sur des avatars dans des environnements virtuels. Dans cette pièce, entre-autre, le personnage principal, « The Brain », de la bande dessinée « Pinky and the Brain », transfère son intelligence à son avatar invincible dans l'espoir que son archétype remplira son ambition de domination mondiale. Incidemment, cette pièce a reçu le prix du meilleur œuvre d'art lors du premier événement de Réactions créatives à Ottawa, là où « L'art rencontre la science ». Les petites pièces encaustiques sont des parodies qui incluent également des personnages de dessins animés populaires reflétant le sens de l’humour de Linda. Le second volet de ses œuvres est constitué de grandes peintures abstraites en acrylique inspirées par les environnements industriels. Bien que chaque collection soit radicalement différente, elles représentent les intérêts variés de l’artiste.

C’est une occasion unique pour le public de profiter, d’encourager et de soutenir les artistes locaux dans leurs communautés et de s’engager avec la bibliothèque de Blackburn.

Location: 199 Glenpark Dr. Ottawa K1B 5B8.

Artreast Digest: North Gloucester Library, Orleans Library Exhibition, Open Studio, etc.

1.  North Gloucester Library



As the walls of the library are still being painted, we cannot hang our artwork on Sep 10th. The good news is that the work is scheduled to be complete by the end of September and the completion was confirmed by the manager of the library branch.
Therefore our next exchange will be October 8, 2019 to keep it consistent with the second Tuesday of the month. and the next art exchange after that will be Jan 13, 2020. That way we "catch up" and bring our exchange dates to the regular scheduled times.
Please come between 10:30 and 11:30 on October 8, 2019.

There will be a reminder at the end of September.
