to Nov 23rd. In Words Matter in the Main Gallery, Gibsons artist Helena Wadsley alters books to take on a sculptural form based on their contents, asking us to consider how we use words that may be oppressive or perpetuate difference and otherness. Wadsley transforms books into tactile sculptural forms that draw attention to histories embedded in language. Language is biased; what gets written in history books is skewed therefore, Wadsley alters the book in a way that speaks to its context, generally incorporating a textile technique. Each piece has its own narrative. “Learning Language” for example, was created with a book found at an abandoned camp in the Yukon.
Join us for the Opening Reception: Sat. Nov. 1, 2pm – 4pm
The exhibition “Unseen Forces” is a series of paintings that reflect the idea of the unseen forces that often serve as unconscious catalysts to the creative process when working in the abstract, using a mix of standard, non-standard, and recycled substrates including canvas, upholstery fabric, burlap and construction building paper, as a reflection of the artist’s anxieties about the non-sustainable practices involved in the fine art industry.
to Oct 1st. Tue-Fri 11:00-5:00pm; Sat/Sun 11:00-4:00pm.
Matthew Boismier, also known as Tooninator, is an Art Director for the animation industry, based in Gibsons, BC. He blends his background in illustration and animation with a fine art approach, creating expressive watercolour work that brings a strong sense of character, movement, and mood. His paintings are known for their fluid lines, thoughtful colour choices, and storytelling.
This exhibition centers around a series of plein-air and studio watercolour paintings from the lesser depicted locations around the Sunshine Coast, Vancouver, and abroad. Featuring scenes that often get overlooked as part of everyday life, Matt attempts to show them in a whole new light.
