UPCOMING EXHIBITION
Remembrance
New Works by
Jim Logan
Exhibition Opening Saturday, October 17
With artist in attendance from 1 – 4 PM
Most of my work that are of northern Indigenous life are from memories, I include my family memories but also my memories of living in the north. I just recently had a major retrospective at SAW Gallery in Ottawa which included works dating back 40 years. The variety of my work over that time varied immensely – but I have always kept this style of work as my mainline of presenting those living memories. Most of the images I do come from a distinct period of time ranging from the late 60s to late 80s – I am now in my seventies and to think that this period remains with me only proves that it was the best of times and the worst of times all interwoven in my lifetime. I see myself as a witness and interpreter of those times, honesty in the work is important to me as a witness and I bring it forward to the viewer to interpret as they wish.
Exhibition continues through to October 28, 2026
