9th International Print Exhibition & Exchange


PROOF Studio Gallery is pleased to host the 9th Annual International Print Exhibition and Exchange - an opportunity for printmakers from anywhere in the world to connect with each other by exhibiting and exchanging their print interpretation of the zodiac sign of the TIGER for the 2010 Chinese New Year.

In previous years artists from China, Mexico, Germany, Japan, Australia, Romania, Scotland, Hong Kong and from across Canada have participated in this exchange.

Each artist creates a limited edition Year of the TIGER print using a traditional print technique such as etching, wood block, linoblock, embossing, lithographs, relief, silkscreen or mixed print media. The first print is kept and used for the exhibition. Additional prints are offered for sale or exchanged if not sold.

If you are interested in purchasing one of the Ottawa area artist prints (currently on display in the OSA lobby display cases) please contact Leonard Gerbrandt: 613.733.3762 / This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

A print exchange will take place on Thursday, March 11th in the OSA Library from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

VOLATILIA

Volatilia, which comes from the word ‘fowl’ in Spanish (or French), is a ‘flying animalia’; this fantastic zoology offers, in its formal structure and its composition, an ironic portrait of our changing reality. The interest for the grotesque, as a mode of graphic representation, distorts and disfigures natural forms in which human features can be seen through the animal metamorphosis.
___________________________________________________________

Volatilia, qui provient du mot volatile, consiste en une zoologie fantastique d’animaux volants et offre, de par sa structure formelle et sa composition, un portrait ironique de notre réalité changeante. L’intérêt pour le grotesque, comme mode de représentation graphique, implique une déformation et une défiguration des formes naturelles envisageant une création de la métamorphose volatile, à l’intérieur de laquelle les traits de la figure humaine se manifestent.

TRIAGE: An Artist in Kandahar

Karen Bailey traveled to Afghanistan in June 2007 as an appointed military artist with the Canadian Forces Artists Program. At the Role 3 Hospital, Kandahar Airfield, she documented military medical personnel caring for the wounded. Triage is the resulting body of work. Inspired by what she witnessed first hand, Karen’s paintings pay tribute to the dedication of Canadian nurses, doctors and medical technicians as they care for injured Afghan men and children.

TRIAGE : Une artiste à Kandahar

Karen Bailey s’est rendue en Afghanistan en juin 2007 à titre d’artiste de guerre dans le cadre du Programme d’arts des Forces canadiennes. À l’hôpital ROLE 3 de l’aérodrome de Kandahar, elle a témoigné du travail du personnel médical militaire qui soignait les blessés. Les oeuvres de Triage sont le résultat de ce témoignage. Inspirée par tout ce qu’elle a vu sur le terrain, Karen rend hommage au dévouement des infirmiers et infirmières, médecins et techniciens médicaux canadiens, en les immortalisant sur toile.

A Stained Glass Journey: lecture by Detlef ‘Dego’ Gotzens

Learn more about the origin of stained glass, its evolution over a thousand years and its arrival and acceptance as a Fine Arts discipline in the last century. Examine this medium through the eyes of German stained glass artist Detlef “Dego” Gotzens, who has been in the field for the past 43 years. He currently runs a studio in Quebec specializing in Restoration, Conservation and custom design projects. His work can be seen in Cologne, Manhattan (collaboration with Architect Ali Tayar), Montreal (Christ Church Cathedral, St. James the Apostle, St. Joseph’s Oratorio) and Ottawa (Memorial Chamber windows - Peace Tower on Parliament Hill, Notre Dame Cathedral, St. Patrick’s Basilica). A question and answer period will follow the lecture.

Apprenez-en plus sur les origines du vitrail, son évolution pendant mille ans, et son accession au statut de domaine des beaux-arts au cours du dernier siècle. Explorez ce moyen d’expression à travers le regard de l’artiste allemand du vitrail, Detlef « Dego » Gotzens, qui travaille dans le domaine depuis 43 ans. En ce moment, il dirige un atelier au Québec qui se spécialise dans la restauration, la conservation et les projets de commande. On peut voir ses oeuvres à Cologne, Manhattan (collaboration avec l’architecte Ali Tayar), Montréal (Cathédrale Christ Church; Église St. James the Apostle; Oratoire Saint-Joseph) et Ottawa (fenêtres de la Chapelle du Souvenir, dans la Tour de la paix du Parlement; Basilique Notre-Dame; Basilique Saint-Patrick). Une période de questions et réponses suivra la conférence.

Remembering Robert Hyndman

Portrait by Karole Marois

HYNDMAN, Robert Stewart June 28, 1915 - November 29, 2009 | 28 juin 1915 - 29 novembre 2009

“He loved to see students get that eureka moment when they understood what he was trying to teach them, and seeing their work develop over the course of a term or year. Robert Hyndman aimait voir ses étudiants vivre ce grand moment où ce qu’il leur enseignait leur paraissait finalement clair, et il aimait voir leur travail se developer.’’

– Jeff Stellick, Executive Director, Ottawa School of Art / Directeur Exécutif, l’École d’art d’Ottawa
