INNU ART EXHIBITION
Joe Talirunilli
Joe Talirunili (ca. 1893–1976) was an Inuit print maker and sculptor, who would sometimes draw. There are two different places listed of where the artist was born, Qugaaluk River camp, Quebec, or 50 kilometers north of Puvirnituq in Nunavik Province, Quebec, at Neahungnik camp Another mystery is when the artist was born and when he died. The Department of Indian and Northern Affairs in Ottawa says he was born in 1893, but the artist claims that 1906 is the correct year, but there is no indication of when the month and day was. The dates of his death are September 13, 1976 or September 11, 1976. (text ref: Wikipedia)

Suzanne Martin (smart bull)
Suzanne (Bull) Martin was born in Ottawa but raised in New Zealand and Europe.

Her Dad gave Suzanne her first Kodak Brownie box camera in 1961 in Holland, She has used a number of cameras since then but for 12 years since the birth of her first grandchild she has used a digital camera. It is not unusual to see Suzanne coffee and camera at the ready on the region's less- travelled roads, where her job as a school-bus driver has exposed her to ever-changing scenery and abundant wildlife. These sights have caught her attention and fired her interest in photography. her favorite times of day come after her morning bus run and also just as the sun begins to set in the evening providing the rich lighting that her photographs are known for |

YOURI ROUSSEAU
This exhibition invites you to explore a series of engravings born of the night and his advice. A procession of themes, images, memories and dreams that emanate from this precious mystery between dusk and dawn. The symbol is a collaborative work and his language an eternal construction.

A dynamic map of the personal, social and immaterial symbols constituting me, my art is a project of symbolographie, working in the need to forge new ways of auto representation of me, in a world globalized by symbols of death and born. My partial answer is recycling, both semiotic and material. So my work becomes an alchemical process, infusing life in obsolete objects, throw up by an economic system of waste. My works are masks and mirrors, some obvious, others depicted, with whom I tell my stories. Occupying the malleable space own at dusk, my art expresses the universal need to diversity by matter and the mask. Inspired by my desire to see a living art, integrated into daily life, I draw my themes and methods in the traditions and cultures where the artist is someone who knows an alloy between citizen, craftsman and be spiritual. . Artist raised in a society without assumed myths without ritualised traditions, I am looking for my hair roots and rhizomes of an exiled people.

JOHN TENASCO
John Tenasco is an algonquin from Kitigan-Zibi Anishinabeg reserve near Maniwaki, Quebec. John is interested in a variety of media and models of paintings (portraiture, abstraction, impressionism etc.) and to produce work with indigenous content in as many ways possible. He holds a college degree at the University Heritage and a B.F.A at the University of Ottawa. John received the Jacqueline fry Memorial Scholarship and the Suzanne Rivard-Lemoyne prize. Algonquin artist, John Tenasco converted on his canvases the colors of Earth, of light and fire of the Maniwaki area, in Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Full of spirituality and particularly sensitive to the metamorphoses, Tenasco delivers high in colour canvases and very safe composition gives an allegorical vision of reality. The work of John Tenasco is situated between abstraction and realism where myriads of ideas are filtered through a personal perspective. themes of impermanence and the instability of the image are but two that inform his artistic output.
With a combination of gestural or controlled linear strokes an intuitive process begins in a search for form and meaning. The process is achieved either systematically or its foundations are obliterated---leaving only remnants of its origin.
Tenasco's work contains numerous influences--not only from other artists but also ideas from philosophy, poetry and music

PAULINE PORTIELJE
Pauline Portielje was born Dec.13, 1919 at home in Ottawa. Throughout her life she always expressed a flair for creative pursuits, but it wasn't until she and her husband moved to Toronto in 1971 that her talent and love of painting became obvious.
For many years she took painting courses with John Smith, an established Toronto artist. It was in this studio environment that Pauline honed her artistic skills. She loved painting scenes, particularly old buildings, farms and landscapes from around the world. She sold her paintings mostly through word of mouth and gave many away as gifts. She had many commissions as well.
Pauline moved to Ottawa in 2005 to be closer to her family. She joined The Ottawa Art Gallery which gave her a new source of inspiration. She took a few art courses at The Ottawa School of Art, but in her words 'no one was like John", so she set up a studio in her apartment and did her own thing.
For all her painting life her style has remained consistent. She is a very detailed person, so it was a challenge to continue painting in this style due to sight loss. Her last two paintings became looser and more impressionistic, but equally as beautiful. At the age of 96 Pauline is legally blind and can no longer paint, but now and again a small abstract flower appears on some drawing paper...still as beautiful as all her work.
