Ehryn Torrell Artist Talk
StFX Art Gallery, Antigonish, NS.
November 7 at 7:00pm

Visual Arts Nova Scotia is delighted to present an artist talk by visiting artist Ehryn Torrell, in collaboration with the StFX Art Gallery and the Cape Breton University Art Gallery. Taking place on Thursday, November 7 at 7:00pm at the StFX Art Gallery, this free artist talk is offered as the third installment of Visual Arts Nova Scotia’s En Route Artist Talk Series.

Ehryn Torrell is a London-based Canadian painter visiting the province to present her solo exhibition Self Similar at the Cape Breton University Art Gallery this fall.  Torrell’s large scale paintings and drawings incorporate visual elements of collapsed and derelict structures, and of remembered cityscapes. Using the lens of the built environment to explore personal and universal conditions of human experience, Ehryn Torrell’s work in painting examines empathy, contingency, loss and vulnerability.
