Street Scene - Jacqueline Venus

Street Scene - Jacqueline Venus at TAP Centre for Creativity on Tuesday, October 20 until Saturday, November 14, 2026, in London Ontario. About the Exhibition: This is a documentation of people seen on Dundas Street, London Ontario. It is by no means complete, as it is a constantly changing scene. People enter this space to shop, do business, meet with friends, just pass through, or live. The images are predominantly candid photos, which are transferred onto canvas using machine stitching, then hand painting with acrylic inks. About the Artist: Born on the North Sea coast, Jacqueline Venus came to Canada as a child and travelled across the country, from coast to coast, spending considerable time in libraries, museums, and art galleries, particularly the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. A quiet and shy child, Jacqueline was always observing, looking, reading, and learning. As a teenager, Jacqueline sewed their own clothing, developing an understanding of colour, line, dimension, draping, and shadows through working with fabric.
