Event in Room: Library Gallery
In the vibrant colors of French Impressionism, especially Matisse’s simplified forms and cutouts, Brown Conrod works from direct observation, often allowing the materials to guide and shape each piece.
During a period of grieving, Barbara created original hand-drawn or painted cards daily for three months and mailed 84 to friends or family members. Larger interpretations of these images on canvases were later exhibited as in Tatamagouche as a solo show titled, The Art of Balancing Grief and Joy at the Fraser Gallery.
This ARTSPLACE Library Gallery exhibition will share a selection of the original cards alongside portions of their texts.
================
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Barbara Brown Conrod works primarily in acrylic, with a versatile practice that includes oil, watercolour, encaustic, drawing, intaglio, collage and photo transfer.
Barbara’s work is colourful and thought-provoking. It ranges from representational painting to abstraction. Her strong personal engagement with her subjects is clearly reflected in her work.
Brown Conrod has had solo exhibitions since 1990 in Halifax, Tatamagouche, New Glasgow, Antigonish, and Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, and has participated in numerous group exhibitions.
She currently lives in Port Williams in the Annapolis Valley.
