Loop<\/strong> Gallery is pleased to announce exhibitions by artist Nancy Oakes<\/strong> entitled Walking Drawings<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In 2006, Oakes<\/strong> began experimenting with \u201cWalking Drawings,\u201d navigating the city streets while simultaneously producing drawings that captured her lived experience as it happened. Later enhanced with graphite, and stained with tea and wax, the final drawings are believable urban scenes composed of elements encountered separately over time and space. This experiential peripatetic strategy exists at the intersection of all four of Oakes\u2019 key interests: human beings, the urban environment, walking, and drawing.<\/p>\n

Oakes<\/strong> is a Toronto-based artist and has exhibited at artist-run centres and public and commercial venues including Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts, A.W.O.L. Gallery, Lehman Leskiw Fine Art, Visual Arts Centre of Clarington (Clarington Gallery), Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition and Gallery 1313. Her drawings were included in the First National Juried Drawing Exhibition at White Water Gallery and Drawing 2012 at the John B. Aird Gallery. Her walking drawing practice was featured on CBC Radio’s “Here and Now”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
