I decided to produce paintings that were skilful, decadent and ostentatious. My idea was to revisit the exhilarating language of history painting. I wanted to question the possibility of a unified, decisive historical moment. I wanted to amplify its heroism, to expose the circular nature of history..." -Andrew Morrow, April 2009 June 12 - September 6, 2009 Open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Information: 613-580-2424, ext. 28425 Foyer Gallery Nepean Sportsplex, 1701 Woodroffe Avenue, Entrance #1, Ottawa, ON Wednesday - Friday 3 - 9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 11 am - 5 pm.

"Realities at face value, from snapshots to slapshots. How do we give reality to images depicted in media or of anyone - including ourselves? How does perception play a role in our collective and individual consciousness? Every picture is worth a thousand stories. Whose story?"
