OVERPASS
August 2 - August 30
Cities are more than streets and skylines—they’re layered experiences built from movement, structure, and point of view. Overpass: Reframing Urban Spaces explores these layers through the distinct yet connected practices of painter Eryn O’Neill, photographer Thomas Radford , and performance artist Petr Maur.
Each artist examines the city as a site of tension and connection: between people and place, presence and absence, construction and motion. Eryn’s paintings document shifting architectures; Thomas reframes the everyday through surreal urban photography; Petr’s “spacewalks” interrupt routine with embodied gestures in public space. Together, their work creates a conversation about how we experience cities—and how art can elevate the unseen.
The show will run from August 2, 2025 to August 30, 2025, the Vernissage is Saturday, August 2 from 6-9PM.

Eryn O’Neill
Based in Ottawa, Eryn O’Neill paints the city in transition. Her textured oil paintings focus on infrastructure—scaffolding, stairwells, construction zones—and the movement that flows through them. Working from sketches, photographs, and repeated walks through familiar urban sites, Eryn captures the tension between the built environment and lived experience.
She holds a BFA from NSCAD and an MFA from the University of Waterloo and is currently pursuing a PhD in Cultural Mediations at Carleton University.

Thomas Radford
A long-standing arts organizer and curator, Thomas Radford has been shaping Ottawa’s cultural scene for nearly two decades—through large-scale murals, festivals like House of PainT, and artist residencies at Bayview Yards Innovation Centre.
As a photographer, his work—under the handle @rexneml—focuses on shifting perspectives and discovering the surreal within shared spaces. His images invite viewers to reconsider what they think they know about their surroundings, offering quiet interventions in the flow of daily life.

Petr Maur
What happens when you walk through places that feel forgotten? When you drift through spaces once full of life — now abandoned, in-between, or on the edge of vanishing?
Wearing a questionable spacesuit, I walk.
Not to draw attention — but to observe, explore, and document. To invite reflection on places that may no longer exist tomorrow.
To turn the surreal into something strangely familiar.
