VANKLEEK HILL | “Portraits : Beyond the face” is the theme of an exhibition being held from now until August 11 at the Ar- bor Gallery, 36 Home Ave., Vankleek Hill. The public can meet artists Martine Bédard, Rosemary Breault-Landry, of Gatin- eau, Elle Chae, Joseph Coban, Philippe Croteau and Stephen Frew, of Ottawa, Sat- urday, July 6 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The gal- lery is open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday to Sunday. Here is curator Shanna Steals’ statement : “Below the surface, beneath the skin and past what is seen lies the true nature of our identity. Throughout history and in many cultures, portraiture has been the primary focus of artists. It was a way to describe physical features, status and nobil- ity and was also believed to be the mirror of the soul. Intrinsically, the face was a syn- ecdoche for the person; a part to represent the whole. Today, we still carry this cultural myth as we continue to question our exis- tential selves. As such, the portrait offers a glimpse into the world of the subject while mirroring that of the artist. Unlike a finger- print, a portrait is ever changing and re- flects the time in which it was created. No two copies of one same subject will ever be alike. The viewer is asked to see the subject through the eyes of the artist and every- thing that has coloured his or her personal observations. For the contemporary artist, the portrait has moved beyond the literal representation of the face and serves at once as a way to express emotions, inter- pret beliefs and evoke memories as well as capture the cathartic moments of our rest- less time and anxious world.”
