Some comments by the artist about this show What is your personal reaction to the play? "Experiencing this play makes me think about our current war and what our soldiers will feel after. This thought hit me hard. I was touched with the raw human feeling ghosting from the three veterans of WWI in this play." Why do you think you are suited to create art for this play? "I too like to look to the future, the characters used a motif of a dog to transport their imagination, I use canoe vessels and trails to help me see the beauty over the horizon." Some pieces that you think work particularly well in relation to this play? "The painting "Gather of Trees" typifies the message of the play. The autumn poplars echo the autumn or end of life and new beginnings. These are brave soldiers who survived, who are surviving old age the best they know how by looking forward, following the path in their minds eye to the beauty and mystery of a stand of trees." Is there anything about your medium/ working methods you would like to highlight? "The medium of watercolour leaves no room for error and the paper of choice is delicate yet strong. Each brush stroke is firm, exact and permanent. The result is a direct, deep and profound emotional response to the world around me" Listen to free show narration recording at tel: (613) 366-2024 Ottawa Ontario phone number |

Sublimation

Press
Release Galerie McKenzie Marcotte is pleased to present "Sublimation", an exhibition of watercolours by Chelsea's Rebecca Mason. You are cordially invited to attend the opening on Friday October 2 at 7 pm. If you are unable to be there, the exhibition will continue until November 6. In this latest series of paintings. Rebecca has returned to painting the forest and trees. Drawing upon their strength and vulnerability, she does not attempt to recreate them but rather to revisit memories of hallowed places where she has found peace, tranquility and understanding. This journey of recollection draws upon both the conscious and unconscious to gain insight and to express in colour, line and emotion the preciousness and the fragility of the natural world. Biography Rebecca Mason was practically born in a canoe. Daughter of renowned Canadian author, painter, canoeist, filmmaker and OSCAR nominee Bill Mason, Rebecca was raised with her older brother on the shores of Meech Lake in West Quebec. Becky spends her summers teaching canoeing and also travels the country giving paddling workshops and captivating slide shows. She does most of her painting during the winter but also finds time to occasionally write for canoeing magazines and books and is very involved as an environmental activist fighting for the rivers, forests and causes she is passionate about. GALLERY HOURS/ HEURES D'OUVERTURE weekends 10 am-5 pm always open by appointment or by chance Maureen Marcotte and David McKenzie: Curators, GALERIE MCKENZIEMARCOTTE (off-site link) |

CURATOR'S MESSAGE Rebecca Mason and Reid McLachlan have been working and living together for decades, both achieving recognition for their separate practices. However, this is the first time these artists have appeared together in a major duo show. Cube is proud to correct this surprising oversight with the exhibition “Indelible Souls”. 
Indelible Souls showcases their startlingly diverse styles and subject
matter and yet reveals how they are intrinsically bound by the passions
they share. In both of their work I find the world of theatre is
invoked. Reid’s work reminds me of the action on stage, the characters
and their props. Each one of his pieces seems to imply an entire
narrative, stories of passion, love and loss. Becky seems to me more
about the subtlety of the back stage. Her work is like the setting of
the mood, the play of light on the backdrop. Her pieces are quiet and
less apparent than the action on the stage, but look closer and they
help to reveal the hidden magic that works almost subconsciously in the
stories being told.Completely different in approach and media, but joined in life, both painters create powerful images that, once seen, are impossible to erase ..... INDELIBLE. Don Monet: Curator, Cube Gallery (off-site link) |
