‘Memories’ at the Saulter Street Gallery
Stop by the Saulter Street Gallery inside the RTCC to check it out!From now until September 8, visitors to the Centre are able to view Memories, a breath-taking series of paintings and multi-media pieces by Ferida Dilmaghani.
Ferida works in the style of Abstract Expressionism, and most of Ferida’s works in this exhibition adopt the format of collages, joining contrasting and disparate images to create delightful and meditative works. Soft earth tones dominate the pieces in this exhibition, drawing the viewer into a natural environment and recalling the artist’s love of nature and farming.
Ferida Dilmaghani was born in Iran and trained at the Central Tehran Azad University. Her works have been exhibited widely, both in Canada and in Iran, and she is the recipient of numerous awards for her art.
The Saulter Street Stairwell Gallery is located in the heritage staircase at the south end of the building. The gallery is open daily from 9am to 9pm, and can be accessed through the second or third floor. Admission is free. |
