Sarnia, ON – The Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of One Wave, an exhibition of photography by Newfoundland based artist Ned Pratt. The exhibition opens to the public on Friday, March 4 and continues until September 10, 2022.
In a place known for its changing weather, artist Ned Pratt searches for moments of quiet. The exhibition is a ten-year retrospective featuring over thirty large scale photographs and represents a period of dedicated focus on Pratt’s home island of Newfoundland. His works are carefully considered compositions that are the result of both chance encounters and patience.
Ned Pratt lives on the island of Newfoundland and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and a Bachelor of Arts in art history from Acadia University. His photography has been exhibited at the former Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, PREFIX Photo, the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival, and in Oh, Canada at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (touring from 2012–16). Pratt’s photography is included in both public and corporate collections across Canada, the United States, Europe, and Australia.
One Wave is organized by The Rooms, St. John’s, NL. For more information about the exhibition and the artist or to book your free timed entry ticket, visit jnaag.ca. The Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery is open Wednesdays from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., Thursdays from 11 a.m. – 8:30 p.m., and Friday and Saturdays from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
