An exhibition in Gallery III, February 8 – March 14, 2025

Artist Reception: Saturday February 8, 2pm-4pm

From February 8 to March 14, Sivarulrasa Gallery is delighted to present Peter Wood: Still Life, Still Speaking in Gallery III. Peter Wood earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a major in painting at NSCAD University in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1999. During a decade living on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, he drew inspiration from the region’s folk art, which profoundly shaped his artistic vision. Returning to his roots in the Ottawa Valley, he embraced a reflective lifestyle focused on creating art and living simply.

This exhibition features several of his new still life works which boldly proclaim the continued relevance of this genre in contemporary art. “Through still life, I’m not just painting objects; I’m investigating the way they hold space in our lives”, he says. “In a world that moves so quickly, the act of slowing down and paying attention is itself a radical choice.” Peter Wood’s artwork has been exhibited in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, and the United Arab Emirates and is held in many private collections. He currently works from his studio in Constance Bay, Ontario.

Artist Reception: Saturday February 8, 2pm-4pm. Artist Peter Wood will be in attendance.
