Galerie Old Chelsea is pleased to feature the works by local artist Roy Brash as he invites art enthusiasts on a journey deep into the heart of nature with his latest collection, “My Outaouais." Through a blend of brushstrokes and colours, Brash captures the essence of the wilderness, evoking the tranquil serenity of a forest by the water or the exhilarating energy of a log drive.

In his depiction of forests or water, Brash transports viewers to a serene landscape where one can almost feel the cool breeze rustling through the trees and the gentle lapping of water against the shore. With subdued colours reminiscent of the natural hues found in a forest, Brash creates an atmosphere of calm and introspection. Whether it's the backpacker's journey through the woods or the peaceful solitude of a cabin at the lake's edge, Brash's artwork invites viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.

Contrastingly, Brash's portrayal of a log drive bursts with energy and excitement. Through dynamic brushwork and vibrant colours, he brings to life the action-packed scene of logs rushing downriver, propelled by the force of the water. Each stroke of the brush captures the adrenaline-fueled thrill of the loggers' daring exploits, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.

Brash is known for his evocative depictions of nature. With a keen eye for detail and a unique artistic vision, Brash's work captivates the eye. His latest collection is a testament to his talent for capturing the essence of the natural world, from the tranquility of a lake in a forest to the exhilaration of fast flowing rapids. Roy Brash's artwork invites viewers to experience the beauty and vitality of nature in all its forms.

Roy Brash has won several awards and his works can be found in collections across Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia and in Europe.
