	March 1 -28, 2008 ~ Jerome Fortin & New Arrivals by Gallery Artists Working in collaboration with Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain we are thrilled to present new collage work by Montreal artist Jerome Fortin. Born in 1971, Fortin transforms and recycles everyday objects by weaving them into his artworks. His new work entitled “Ecrans” (Screens) are tightly woven geometric paper collages. He uses novels, colouring books, telephone books, comic strips and city maps as his source material. By folding the paper, the repeated triangular shapes become topographical mazes, some even with evident horizon lines. A selection of Jerome Fortin’s historical work is currently on view at Museum London. For more work by Fortin please visit www.pfoac.com. Also on view: new horizon paintings by Montreal painter David Sorensen. Instead of using found objects to reference the landscape, David Sorensen has explored the feeling of being in the landscape through atmospheric colour. The layers of paint create a wonderful jolt to our white winter days. London, ON photographer Scott Conarroe looks at the local landscape through his ambient photographs. Conarroe is interested in the change of seasons and times of day when the light is most radiant. His long exposure times and birds-eye-view perspective allow for extremely atmospheric, glowing images. Finally, Melanie Authier’s web-like abstract painting creates an intense colourful journey of an imaginary landscape. The paintings express the idea of a landscape but are never representations of a particular place. Rather, the paintings invoke feelings, memories and sensations of a metaphorical landscape of the mind.
