Bear River artist Eva McCauley warmly invites you to view:
Ruptured Landscapes (“Les Paysages Bouleversés”)
An Exhibition of Paintings by Eva McCauley
JULY 29 – AUGUST 29, 2023    Opening reception Sat. July 29, 2 – 5 p.m.

Galérie Père-Léger-Comeau, Université Sainte-Anne, Church Point, N.S,.   

Eva McCauley is a painter and printmaker, best known for atmospheric, expressive paintings of sky, water and shifting landscapes that explore the passage of time and the transient and ephemeral nature of the world. She resides in Bear River, Nova Scotia, her house built into a cliff overlooking a tidal river, in proximity to the ocean. The experience of living close to the ocean had a profound impact on her work.  Her work has become increasingly concerned with the impact of climate change, particularly in respect to the oceans. 

Ruptured Landscapes (“Les Paysages Bouleversés”), her current series of oil paintings, explores our relationship with the fragile environment we live in, a world threatened by systematic disintegration and devastation. Her paintings investigate and speak to climate and environmental change, particularly on oceans and shorelines: the sea level is rising, waters are warming, storms are intensifying, lives and communities are at risk.  

Conjured partly from memory, partly from photo references, the figures in the paintings uneasily inhabit places that she has explored in the past and present, with a focus on their relationship to bodies of water. 

 You are invited to view the exhibition “Les Paysages Bouleversés”, which will be displayed at Galérie Père-Léger-Comeau at Université Sainte-Anne at Church Point, N.S.  from July 29 to August 29. 

You are cordially invited to to the opening reception, which will take place on Saturday, July 29th, from 2 to 5 p.m.

The opening coincides with the launch of the Acadian Festival in Clare. To join in with the spirit of the celebrations, there will be live Acadian music at the gallery and refreshments served.  All are welcome!

She also has two monotypes included in the the Conseil des Arts de la Baie  summer exhibition at the Galerie Le Trécarré at the U. Ste. Anne until the end of August.  https://www.conseildesartsdelabaie.com/galerie-le-tr%C3%A9carr%C3%A9
