New Exhibition: Other Worlds, March 25 – April 22, 2023

The two exhibitions at the gallery feature works from the Beaverbrook Art Gallery permanent collection.

A collection of works on paper by Quebec artist Jean-Paul Riopelle fill the east gallery. The vigorous and lively marks layer movement, colour and are guided by a strong connection to nature. One key to the exhibition lies on a print of snow geese. They visit the lower St. Lawrence region annually during their seasonal migrations, and may have inspired the artists gestures and marks.

The five very different landscape paintings and one photograph fill the west gallery with works by Canadian artists Miller Gore Brittain, Carol Fraser, William Goodridge Roberts, Robin Collyer and John Hartman. Also on loan from the Beaverbrook, these artworks are images of renewal, natural cycles, where their memory and imagination has reimagined the world rather than mirror it.
