"Stepping into Paris" starts next week at the Orange Art Gallery in Hintonburg. Ottawa artist Megan D'Arcy presents her works from her recent trip to Paris: During her one week tour, Megan visited the river Seine, Monmartre, Saint Germain de Pres and the Moulin Rouge in the red light district. The Paris streets were the inspiration for her new series of funky urban landscapes. She incorporates photography, collage, acrylic and resin in her photo-collage based pieces that strongly remind me at the futuristic movement of the early 20th century, in particular Paul Citroen's "Metropolis" (1923) with its skyscrapers in a claustrophobic perspective... And I'm sure the Vernissage will be a pretty good party!
