what trickles through - opening reception

7/13/2024

The Lake Country Art Gallery invites everyone to join us for the opening reception of ...

What Trickles Through

with guest curator Julie Oakes,
and featuring the works of

Ashley Johnson,
Mahmoud Meraji
Ortansa Moraru
Saturday, July 20th
1:00 to 3:00 pm

LCAG Staff previewing two pieces by Ashley Johnson

What Trickles Through showcases works of three artists, each of whom began their artistic journey in their country of origin before immigrating to Canada. This exhibition highlights the art they have created in Canada, far from their birthplaces, reflecting a blend of cultural heritage and new influences.

Ortansa Moraru: Born in Romania, Ortansa arrived in Canada in 2002. Her works explore themes of identity and displacement, drawing on her experiences of migration and adaptation.
Mahmoud Meraji: Mahmoud, born in Iran, moved to Canada in 1998. His art delves into the complexities of cultural integration and the merging of Eastern and Western artistic traditions.
Ashley Johnson: Originally from South Africa, Ashley relocated from Johannesburg to Toronto in 2005. His pieces often focus on themes of transformation and the impact of geographical and cultural shifts.

All three artists are now Canadian citizens, and their works in What Trickles Through reflect their diverse backgrounds and the unique perspectives they bring to the Canadian art scene.

The Lake Country Art Gallery invites everyone to join us for the opening reception with artists and curators in attendance, and to continue exploring the works on display throughout the exhibition, from July 20th until September 15th.
