Kelli Dove: EH-OK!

March 23, 2019 to May 19, 2019

Lounge Gallery

Kelli Dove’s animal series, painted in oils on paper, is a glimpse of her close encounters with animals as a child in the Kawarthas. Each animal holds a memory and a story. She has reimagined them in a way that suits their personalities. There is some influence from their behaviours and how we, as Canadians, perceive them. Each painting demonstrates Dove’s strong technical skills and her influence of pop culture.

The Labour of Art

The Mulcahy Family Gallery

Quilts are not just a matter of needlework. They are a form of art that inspires major movements in the western art world. This exhibition will be primarily composed of quilts, patterns, and archival documents from OMAH's collection. As a counterbalance, the exhibition will include quilts by contemporary fibre artists. Quilts are not just rooted in domestic and feminine history, they ultimately tell a story about collaboration, community, and aesthetic beauty.
