Vanessa McKernan | Dusk
Read MoreSept 13 - 27
Vernissage: Saturday, Sept 13 @ 3 - 5 pm
Wall Space Gallery is excited to present a solo exhibition by Vanessa Mckernan. An oil painter who recently relocated from Toronto to the Ottawa Valley, McKernan creates dreamlike, emotionally resonant works that blur the lines between intentional thought and the subconscious. Her practice draws deeply from the garden as a recurring symbol, exploring themes of impermanence, intimacy, mothering, and the cycles of death and rebirth. Infused with personal experience, historical references, and intuitive imagery, her paintings offer a poetic meditation on the complexities of the feminine psyche. -
Boyd Waites | Feature
Sept 13 - 27
Vernissage: Saturday, Sept 13 @ 3 - 5 pm
Wall Space Gallery is proud to present a curated feature of new work by Canadian artist Boyd Waites. With imagery that is partially obscured and grounded in landscape, these paintings encourage a personal and emotional response. Waites invites viewers to interpret each piece through their own sensory experience. The use of soft blending, thin layers, and subtle transitions creates a quiet, atmospheric quality. This approach may evoke a sense of calm, contemplation, or memory. The works suggest a reflective mood and a quiet strength, offering space for thought and interpretation rather than directing it. This collection continues Waites’ exploration of tone, space, and feeling. -
