Jessica Bell at Central Art Garage featured in Ottawa Report, Canadian Art

Jessica Bell’s solo exhibition “Fits and Starts” at Central Art Garage, a converted mechanic’s shop just off Lebreton Street North. The Vancouver-based Bell has been steadily unravelling the pretense that surrounds the art of painting. She’s worked on both sides of the canvas, has done away with stretchers and has laundered, folded, quilted, stitched, inflated—even made rugs from—her paintings.
