An exhibition in Gallery III, July 26 – August 30, 2024

Artist Reception: Saturday July 27, 2pm-4pm

From July 26 to August 30, Sivarulrasa Gallery is pleased to present Jeannie Polisuk: The Messiness of Memory, featuring new abstract works by Ottawa-based artist Jeannie Polisuk. “Memory is a record of experience”, she says. “It is not a pristine archive, but a chaotic tapestry woven with fragments of experiences, emotions, and distortions.” In this body of work, the artist explores layering of meaning and materiality, creating depth, complexity, and visual interest. The resulting rich, tactile surfaces evoke the complexity of memory that is fragmented and interwoven.

Born in Saint John, New Brunswick and currently based in Ottawa, Jeannie Polisuk’s practice includes painting, sculpture, and installation. Through both figurative and abstract works, she examines themes of memory and identity, inviting the viewer into personal and psychological landscapes. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Ottawa, majoring in painting and sculpture. Her works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Canada and the United States and are held in private and corporate collections.

Artist Reception: Saturday July 27, 2pm-4pm. Artist Jeannie Polisuk will be in attendance.
