Art Exhibition: Stewards and Defenders – Jean Bradbury

March 17 – April 15, 2023

Jean Bradbury
Artist Talk + Reception: Friday March 17th at 5pm

Jean Bradbury’s portraits are life-sized paintings on cut plywood depicting the sitter’s relationship to the land, and the land’s significance to the sitter. From the land defenders at Fairy Creek logging blockade to the arborists cutting trees, Jean is interested in honouring the environments that these subjects find themselves within. Working with a scale to life, these works are simultaneously portraits and landscapes. This Exhibition poses the question: What does it mean to own land?
