Paint Hits the Vancouver Art Gallery

Part of the series - Weekly Heads Up on the Arts Scene

Now that art movements have gone from modernist, past post-modernist, and through the many digital realms, sometimes it's nice to have a look back at the basics. The Vancouver Art Gallery is opening a new show, PAINT, tonight that focuses on artists using that medium. In fact in recent years there has been a pronounced trend in artists returning to choosing paint as a way to express themselves.

Local artist and art instructor Neil Campbell curates this exhibit that will showcase art from Joan Balzar, Maxwell Bates, Claude Breeze, Brian Fisher, Graham Gilmore, Angela Grossmann, Roy Kiyooka, Attila Richard Lukacs, Vicky Marshall, Michael Morris, Mina Totino, Ian Wallace, Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun. 100 plus pieces are being shown from various collections as well as several pieces created specifically for this exhibit.

The exhibit will run from Sept. 30th to Feb. 25th at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
