Giving members of Visual Arts Nova Scotia an opportunity to create an exhibition of their work.

I SAW A LIGHTBALL SCURRY ACROSS THE FLOOR
Katie Hernandez
February 8 – 27, 2013

Painter and emerging artist Katie Hernandez exhibits a series of shaped paintings referencing works by her favorite artists on view in the corridor gallery from February 8 – 27, 2013.  Describing the works, Hernandez explains:

In contrast to the way I usually work, the pieces in this show are exploring a lack of colour, sticking simply with black and white. I continue to explore shape, pattern and surface as main modes of expression. The objects I represent in the new paintings are in direct reference to/stolen from objects found in the works of some of my favorite artists.

Katie Hernandez is an emerging artist from Vancouver Island, British Columbia and a recent graduate from NSCAD University. She has participated in group shows throughout Halifax at Eyelevel Gallery, The Khyber Centre for the Arts, and 2053 Gallery. Hernandez has also presented solo exhibitions at the Anna Leonowens Gallery and Lost and Found. Her work has been published in Applied Arts Magazine and more recently in Talk [to yourself], a locally produced journal curated by Melissa Richards.

Located inside the Visual Arts Nova Scotia (VANS) office at the Halifax Seaport, since 2000, the Corridor Gallery is complimented by a historical legacy of Nova Scotia culture, simple yet modern architectural elements and an array of current cultural activity in the Cultural Federations of Nova Scotia office. The Corridor Gallery is located at 1113 Marginal Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia and is open Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm.
