Vernissage - David Lidbetter | Old Hull: An Artist's Journey of Forgotten Memories

Wall Space Gallery is proud to present a curated selection of works by artist David Lidbetter.

After many years of exploring a variety of media and subject matter Lidbetter has spent the last decade painting highly identifiable and unquestionably Canadian landscapes primarily in oil. He works close to his home and studio in Aylmer Canada in areas like Temagami Gatineau and Algonquin Park. It is no coincidence that his work is reminiscent of the vistas explored by other landscape painters like Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven. In fact David’s work has been recognized as highly collectable and described as “contemporary feeling Group of Seven scenes pared down to their essentials [where] mood seems more important than the actual details of forests rivers and skies.” David will spend hours and sometimes days in local forests and nearby lakes photographing.

“The scenes that capture me are often the ones that would immediately be overlooked by others. Something usually catches my eye such as a change of light or a strong contrast of colour and shapes.”

David has lived exhibited and been represented in the Ottawa area for over fifteen years. 

Old Hull: An Artist’s Journey of Forgotten Memories is a painting exhibition that explores the lost stores and fading history of Old Hull. Through evocative brushstrokes and rich textures the artist captures the spirit of forgotten paces shifting landscapes and personal recollections inviting viewers on a nostalgic journey through time. Each piece serves as a tribute to the city’s past blending memory and imagination to preserve its essence before it fades away.

We look forward to welcoming you to the gallery for the vernissage on Saturday March 8 @ 3 - 5 pm.
