FROM KOLAJ 26<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jerome Bertrand’s Public Art Installation in Ottawa, Ontario<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A giant collage is installed in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, on the York Street stairs that link the ByWard Market and Major\u2019s Hill Park and run along the south side of the US Embassy. The work is by Montreal collagist Jerome Bertrand whose submission to a call from Canadian Heritage to artists between the ages of 18 and 35 was selected for the honour. Heat Wave<\/em> \u201cportrays our Canadian population as a vibrant and multi-faceted society,\u201d writes Canadian Heritage. \u201cThe fire elements represent passion for life and the warmth of Canadians; the water\u2014photos from the Desch\u00eanes Rapids on the Ottawa River\u2014speak to the ancient waterways of Algonquin peoples; and the geometric illustrations represent human activity. The perspective from the bottom of the stairs, looking up, evokes the future of a multicultural society, moving forward and constantly evolving.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work is on view until Summer 2020, as part of Canadian Heritage\u2019s \u201cArt in the Capital\u201d program. Learn more HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
