Title: Châteaufort Community Garden with a “Matisse” view
Medium: Acrylic on paper
Size: 41” x 25”
Date: 2021
The designer of the garden, Mark, created lots of visual art in the garden this summer. One of his objects, a bird bath feeder, in which he arranged a sculpture-like stone and some plants and fruits, giving the impression of a near-cubist painting of Matisse. I pushed more this illusion in my painting by adding at the back of the garden a window from Matisse’s studio giving to the sea-side.

Title: Four Faces
Medium: Acrylic and bronze on canvas
Size: 20” x 24”
This is a family portrait, led by the shape of a mother who contains the faces of her three children, enmeshed in co-creating a life-giving abstraction. Engaging with the harsh angles of the world, the elemental metal is offered in contrast to the soft colours: art as alchemy, a site of treatment and knowledge beyond language.
Artist: Edna Katz-Silver
Title: My Lady
Medium: Acrylic on canvas, framed
Size: 24”x40”
This is an existential self-portrait, wherein transparent layers express a life lived from multiple perspectives and experiences. In combination they compose a spirit that flows like a series of diaphanous veils, undoing any singular or fixed identity; aligning instead to create a figure that stays curious, desirous and elegant, despite life’s harsh edges.
Artist: Arianna Garcia-Fialdini
Title: Spreading kindness
Medium: Watercolor and ink on paper
Size: 8” x 11”
Date: 2021
This work is a creative response to my experience co-facilitating an art hive for the first time this past session and the profound realization that despite the limited amount of male presence I have witnessed, art truly is for all to make, communicate and share regardless of gender, beliefs, and background.
Artist: Arianna Garcia-Fialdini
Title: Dive-in
Medium: Ink on paper
Size: 8” x 11”
Date: 2021 This work is responding to the idea of change and the unknown, and how sometimes it’s best to not think it through too much and just dive in.
Artist: Anita Cooperstone

EngAGE Living Lab & Concordia University Art Hives present:
CREATIVE RESPONSES
An online community art exhibit
Online Vernissage: Thursday December 16th, 2021, 2:00 – 4:00 pm
In October of 2021, the Concordia University Art Hives put out an open call for creative works of all mediums and disciplines as a form of creative response, questioning “what works” in acknowledgement to thinking about and solving or working through challenging personal or social problems.
Participants were encouraged to respond with an image or two of their choice as well as 2-3 sentences that share with the wider community what their submitted work is responding to.
A special and warm thanks to all who made this exhibit possible. We look forward to continuing to connect with you all both in-person and online at our various activities.
