Today, two of my friends and I hung 40 paintings by 6 Ottawa artists at Cafe Angelina, near the popular Byward Market. The show is called "The Year of the Horse" and includes several paintings of horses and several with a Chinese feel. Such a colorful and vibrant show with something for every taste!
There will be a Meet the Artists reception on Sunday, Feb. 9th, from 3 to 5 where all six featured artists will be present:
Marie Arsenault, Elisabeth Arbuckle, Dhanashri Bapat, Christiane Kingsley, Luminita Serbanescu and Sawsan Shorbajee.
My "horse" entry for the show is a pewter and acrylic piece, of an Estrucan horse from a statuette in the British Museum. It is one of a pair....the other, facing in the other direction, and with different hand embossing, is currently on display at the Kevin Dodds gallery at 1101 Bank St. Ottawa.
Sounds like a lot of work - and a fabulous show! Good luck with it and hope you have sales and much interest :)
ReplyDeleteA lot of work, but lots of fun too. I hope the weather will cooperate on Sunday for our opening reception:-)
DeleteChristiane thank you for your visit to my blog the other day. I greatly appreciate your comments. Your show "Year of the Horse" looks to be an exciting one. I wished i lived closer. The art scene you are involved in seems to be so much more energetic than here. I admire you for all your involvement in galleries and organizing shows such as this. Well done you! Your horse is beautiful by the way and a real eye catcher. Nice to see you doing acrylics too as they so good. Have a great show Christiane.
ReplyDeleteHi, Ross. We had the opening reception yesterday and it was very well attended and was lots of fun. I really enjoy the interaction provided by these shows even though I often feel that I have so little time left for painting:-)
DeleteI am finding the acrylics so versatile! I certainly intend to work more and more with them.
Thank you as always for your support, Ross.
wishing you every success with the exhibition Christiane ... beautiful horse with the rich red bg
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jane. The ipening reception last week was very well attended. I am pleased that you like my Etruscan horse.
DeleteOops...that should have been "opening", not "ipening":-)
DeleteI wish I could see your show in person - it looks absolutely wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun show, Barb, and I do wish you could have seen it!
DeleteA beautiful piece Christiane! It sounds like a great show....enjoy and best of luck!
