Tanya Morand
Elena Popova
Dates Showing: November 20th- December 20th, 1998
Tanya  Morand, a painter of two and three dimensional surfaces and teacher from Montreal, has exhibited extensively in Canada in solo and group exhibitions. This artist is exhibiting three dimensional, freestanding tower-like paintings illuminated from the interior. Fortresses, industrial buildings, tree houses and tents haunt her paintings as allusions to a dichotomy of settled and nomadic existence. These pieces explore the notion of dewlling as a physical and psychological state.
Since coming to Newfoundland eight years ago from Bulgaria, Elena Popova has worked as a printer, designer and printmaker. Popova's large monotypes are immediate and spontaneous, covering a broad range of poetic themes. She approaches the technique as a painter, using oil on plexiglass and printing on paper. Popova's intuitive technique closely reflects her intellectual and emotional temperment.
