From August 2 to 29, Visual Arts Brampton member and vice president
Jacqueline Veltri will be having a solo exhibition at Brampton City Hall Art in the Atrium. The show,
Reflections, includes work in oil, acrylic, coloured pencil, and graphite.
Reflections is an exhibit which explores reflections either figuratively or literally, and in some cases, both. Some of the pieces are of objects which cast a reflection of itself, others explore the way light is reflected by an object, while others still, incorporate both concepts. The path of this exploration in some cases lead to a deeper investigation of reflection as a concept asking the viewer to reflect on the idea put forth by the artist.
A variety of media was used to further the exploration in order to resolve how physical reflection would be achieved from one medium to another. This gave the artist the freedom to discover new ways of conveying the notion of what an object might look like when it is reflected on a surface which is sometimes in motion, or fraught with inclusions.
Veltri is also now an exhibiting member of the Wellington Artists' Gallery, in Fergus, Ontario. VAB members Thea Jansen and William Band are also represented at Wellington.
