The last Corridor exhibition of 2020 is Lynda Shalagan’s delightful miniature nature paintings. These imagined landscapes and wild bird portraits use a unique reverse painted glass technique, sometimes layered over an oil painting, to give the work another dimension and shadows. Make an appointment to see Through the Trees in the Corridor Gallery November 9 – December 17, 2020 and watch the video tour on YouTube:

Of her the work in this exhibition, Shalagan writes:
As well as being views ‘through the trees’, these pieces were experimental using the technique of reverse painted glass to create the shadows and depth.  The plaster frames on the birdies were hand poured and give the small works a gem-like quality. The small landscape vistas are done in oil on panel; the foreground trees add another dimension.

Lynda Shalagan began her art education in Vancouver, BC taking craft and fine art courses at Capilano College in North Vancouver. She subsequently transferred to the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Halifax, NS. (BFA ’82). At present, Lynda lives in Halifax, teaching workshops and classes to adults and children in various mediums while continuing her studio work in painting, assemblage and collage. See her work at Teichert Gallery, Halifax, Harvest Gallery Wolfville or her studio/ Artz Gallery Halifax.

Located inside the Visual Arts Nova Scotia 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, a city situated on unceded Mi’kmaq territory.
