Events Description
Wall Space Gallery is proud to present Seedbed, the latest solo-exhibition of paintings by Kingston-based artist Lori Richards.
Lori Richards graduated from Montreal’s Dawson College and with honours from The Ontario School of Art. Dealing with themes of awareness to our emotional connection to nature, Richard’s work predominantly depicts landscapes that illuminate narrative and emotion.
Richards draws inspiration from the natural world at home and further afield; searching for that ineffable magic genius loci — literally “the spirit of a place”.
A seedbed is“a bed of fine soil in which seedlings are germinated.” Seedlings are about becoming. Breaking from dormancy, they germinate, develop and grow into plants. They rise from a subterranean world—like human comprehension, much of which occurs in our subconscious.
“Sleep allows access to the magic of our dreams and unconscious thought: I explore this in my work, distilling and interpreting images, experiences and emotions.
Dots are connected, new synapses created and ideas come to light. My paintings use symbols —beds, birds, owls, dream bubbles, moons, stars and plants—to create worlds of mystery and understanding, darkness and luminosity.
Richards’ solo exhibition will include a collaboration with writer Suzanne Biro, who has responded to specific artworks in the exhibition with prose.
