SUMMARY:GALLERY OPENING - Paintings by Bronwyn McIvor
DESCRIPTION:Bronwyn McIvor is an emerging Richmond-based artist whose practice is focused on painting and drawing. After acquiring a foundation in classical painting\, she attended Langara College’s Fine Arts program and completed her BFA at Emily Carr University. \nThroughout her practice\, Bronwyn has taken unusual angles on the classical subject of still life\,\nfocusing mainly on the detritus of food preparation rather than the prized objects showcased in Dutch still life that continue to inspire her. Created primarily in oils\, her paintings\nmonumentalize and enrich this overlooked everyday debris with sumptuous\, bold colours\,\nreferencing the intensity of Caravaggio. Her work transforms the mundane\, relishing its detail\nand its drama\, and in the process animates it with unexpected vitality. Commonplace foodstuffs become landscape\, portrait\, or strangely unrecognizable presences. \n  \n

SUMMARY:100 Years of Japanese Painting!
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition and sale of antique Japanese landscape\, animal\, and topical paintings on traditional silk hanging scrolls\, as well as one-of-kind highly decorative Art Deco-style floral and abstract paintings/designs by two renowned Kyoto kimono and fabric designers\, Sasaki Seishichi (1844-1908) and works produced in the 1920’s-30’s by artisans at Okamoto Kimono Drapers. \nSasaki Seishichi (1844-1908) was a celebrated textile and fabric designer\, and manufacturer of fine kimonos whose workshop was located in the Nishijin-ori district in Kyoto during the Meiji Period in the last decades of the nineteenth century. \nOriginal paintings he produced as designs for ro-ui textiles and kimonos were exhibited in the International Exposition in Paris in 1890 where he was the grand prize winner. His designs were awarded the Silver Prize (posthumously) at the Tokyo Exposition Sengo Hatten Zenkoku Kogyo Hakuran-kai on August 20th\, 1921. \nPrior to the Paris Exposition in 1890\, the paintings were mounted on handmade Arches stock. The sheets measure 68 x 45 cm. Some are stamped on the verso with the artist’s seal in vermilion\, and many have his studio seal\, a winged caduceus\, stamped in black on the front lower margin of the mount. Several have notations in Japanese in the margins which appear to be instructions for craftsmen in the workshop of the artists who produced the finished fabrics and kimonos. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Off-Site @ Ethel Whitty Book Launch!
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be selling Ethel Whitty’s newest book\, The Light a Body Radiates\, at the Fox Cabaret from 7 – 9 pm! \nRSVP here: https://www.facebook.com/events/593312757673622/ \nThe Book: \n“Eileen MacPherson is a child of eight when her beloved sixteen-year-old brother\, Francis\, leaves home after a violent family episode. Over the next 25 years\, everything she understands to be true changes but she never wavers in her yearning to understand the forces that have torn her family apart. THE LIGHT A BODY RADIATES tells the story of Eileen’s passionate search for explanations in whispered fragments of conversation she overhears whenever she can slip into a room unseen. She gathers a whole storehouse of truths and myths\, including her own\, that lead her to a deeper understanding of how people\, who love each other deeply\, can find it impossible to bridge the gulf dividing them. \nWhile navigating the uneven road that leads to becoming a woman\, Eileen’s loyalty to family and home is pitted against her desire for love and art and a wider worldview. Along the way\, she uncovers the cracks and crevices in her family’s well-defended hearts and minds. The discovery that Francis is gay is only one piece of a larger puzzle-and when\, in the end\, it is a devastating AIDS diagnosis that brings Francis home\, Eileen learns how love can transcend the forces of poverty and culture and distance. \nSet in working class Cape Breton\, against the backdrop of the 60s revolution\, the AIDS epidemic of the 80s\, and the “culturally imperative migration” that urged so many away from the places they called home\, THE LIGHT A BODY RADIATES is a story that engages powerfully with questions of place\, secrets\, loyalty\, and what it means to ‘take care of your own.'” \nEthel Whitty: \n“Ethel Whitty was born and raised in Cape Breton and emigrated from there to the West Coast in her early twenties. She wrote THE LIGHT A BODY RADIATES in stolen moments and occasional weeks of solitude while working for twelve years as the Director of the Carnegie Community Centre in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. A graduate of the Simon Fraser University’s Writer’s Studio\, she currently lives in Vancouver.”
