www.iantangallery.com Wim Blom preview IAN TAN GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Through Sep 20 The paintings of South-African born Will Blom share numerous stylistic and aesthetic qualities of images by Canadian artists Alex Colville and Christopher Pratt. Like these well-known Maritime painters, Blom’s work has a timeless and idealized quality, with the same precise organization and execution. Unlike Colville and Pratt, Blom focuses on the environment rather than the narrative. There is an air of serenity, as though time is suspended. The cold flat surfaces of architectural molding, the exactitude of floor tiles, the calculated glimpses of rooms beyond -- all Wim Blom, Blue Lamp (2006), oil on canvas [Ian Tan contribute to a disquieting hyper-realism. With Gallery, Vancouver BC, through Sep 20] everything unessential removed and the emphasis on underyling geometry, the ordinary environments in the paintings take on an archetypal presence. Will Blom earned his early degrees in Johannesburg, South Africa, followed by studies at the University of Edinburgh, University of Perugia, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and San Miguel de Allende. His work is in numerous corporate and private collections in Canada, , Great Britain, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, , South Africa, Spain, and the , as well as the National Gallery of Canada and the South African National Gallery.

www.bellevuearts.org A Tapestry of Memories:The Artpreview of Dinh Q. Lê PHOTO BY RICHARD NICOL, COLLECTION OF SWEDISH MEDICAL CENTER Dinh Q. Lê, Crossing Paths (The Headless Buddha (1997), C-print and linen tape [Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue WA, Sep 1-Dec 30]

BELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – Sep 1-Dec 30 Los Angeles artist Dinh Q. Lê is known for the large-scale woven photomontages featured in his first major survey, A Tapestry of Memories: The Art of Dinh Q at the Bellevue . The exhibit encompasses works acquired by both private and museum collections over the past 20 years, and includes two multichannel video installations and two white-on-white embroideries in addition to his signature woven C-prints. Lê was born in Vietnam and his family immigrated to Los Angeles during his childhood. As a result, his cultural and societal perspective fuses elements of both his Eastern and Western experiences. His images combine personal family photos, American pop culture icons and representations that resonate with the tensions of the Vietnam War. Through an intense plating technique, Lê physically weaves together strips of photographic prints. His finished pieces are poetic, cross-cultural tapestries, as much about craftsmanship as concept. Through this process he dissects and reorders preconceived histories and fabricates a potent new allegory in his works. Much of Lê’s imagery is focused on conceptions about the Vietnam War. He uses the reality of photojournalism as well as borrowed and digitally enhanced still shots from popular Hollywood movies like Apocalypse Now. Recontextualizing his subjects, Lê immaculately blends elements of truth and fiction. His multilayered imagery brings forth a sophisticated milieu that is unique to his dual Vietnamese and American identities. Allyn Cantor

DOUGLAS UDELL GALLERY Vancouver, British Columbia, 1558 W 6th Ave, 604.736.8900 www.douglasudellgallery.com www.elliottlouis.com Mary-Ann Liu and Cyrus Yavneh:Doodlepreview Does It ELLIOTT LOUIS GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Sep 11-30 A doodle is many sided. A random unintentional expression. Each is different in every way. Doodle Does It: A Journey from Doodles to Bronze is a remarkable artistic collaboration between graphic designer Mary-Ann Liu and filmmaker/writer Cyrus Yavneh. From Yavneh’s abundant scribbles and sketches on paper, which Liu describes as “a treasure trove of musical notes and amoebic forms,” Liu was inspired to construct three-dimensional sculptural forms in bronze and fibreglass. The exhibit includes more than 30 sculptures together with Yavneh’s original doodle collages, plus a “Doodle Art Book” kit created by Liu and Yavneh. The pages in the kit illustrate the sources of Liu’s inspirations. Mary-Ann Liu, Tornado, bronze [Elliott Louis Gallery, Yavneh’s sketches read like a psychoanalyst’s dream: Vancouver BC, Sep 11-30] rife with arrows, radiating shapes, concentric lines, shark- and sperm-like forms, boomerangs, vessels, trumpets, and wishbones among countless other squiggles. Liu has brought various tiny pencil and pen shapes to life in forms ranging from a few inches to four feet in height and width. Included are a 48-inch fibreglass amorphous shape coated with the translucent colour of auto paint; a delicate treble-clef structure with an antiqued bronze finish; a harp shape pierced with a double-headed arrow; a tornado shape and an anchor-like vertical bronze sculpture 32 inches high, both highlighted with touches of flaking blue paint.

Shannon Belkin: Second Nature September 6-22, 2007 Opening reception Thursday, September 6, 6-8 pm

Dr. Lynn Ruscheinsky curates a new series of paintings by Vancouver artist Shannon Belkin at Diane Farris Gallery. In Second Nature, Belkin continues her exploration of the intricate relationship between humans and nature. The new work examines the rupture between the real and the virtual in our encounters with animals. Animals offer humans a companionship which, being between two species, is dif- ferent from any offered by human exchange. Belkin’s new works are concerned with the ways our visu- ally saturated, urban environment marginalizes our contact with nature and especially our children’s understanding of animals. Focusing on the children’s toy industry – particu- Kirkuk, 2007, oil on canvas, 48 x 68 inches (top); larly ironic given the current recalls on toxic toys – her Toy Horses Grazing, 2007, oil on canvas, 30 x 40 series explores our increasing alienation from the natural inches (bottom left); Toy Clydesdales, 2007, oil on world and its creatures, with which we were once deeply canvas, 30 x 40 inches (bottom right) and interdependently connected. Shannon Belkin graduated in 1992 from Emily Carr College (now Institute) of Art and Design, and began exhibiting with Diane Farris Gallery in 1998. Her previous major body of work, "When Horses Were Gods" (2004) was inspired by equine mythologies from around the globe – from the Arabian, Etruscan and Babylonian to Finnish and Chinese. Her work has won international acclaim and is included in numerous collections.

An Amenity Bonus is a perk worth having In order to ensure that non-profit cultural societies can continue to be located in Vancouver’s expensive downtown core, the City actively seeks to provide appropriate spaces through its Amenity Bonusing program. In this program, which began in 1975, the City, in partnership with private developers, creates affordable cultural facilities and live-work studios at no cost to taxpayers for approved associations that require them. On it’s part, the scheme often allows the developer to build additional storeys on a future project. The value of that ‘amendment’ is calculated by the City’s real estate department using a “consistent pro forma analysis.” The developer must build a fully finished gallery or another type of specialized space equivalent in dollar terms to that amount and prepay twenty years of the space’s operating costs to the City. The City then secures the cultural amenity through a legal agreement which includes a lease for the life of the building. A pre-determined non-profit society sublets the Bonused Amenity from the City for a nominal rent (typically utilities) with the condition that prior to signing the sub-lease, the not-for-profit group has demonstrated an ability to raise funds. If feasible, before the deal is finalized, the city encourages the association to start the endow- ment fund that will be necessary to secure its space in future. Non-profit groups cannot take the endowment fund with them if they decide to move to a different space and no endowment fund money will be theirs if the organization ceases to exist. Big bucks must be raised – at least $400,000-600,000 – to grow the required trust fund. The façade of the in Vancouver Perhaps because some groups in the past were – you can’t tell a bonused amenity when you see one unable to gather enough money for their endowments, the City now articulates condi- tions for Bonusing with absolute clarity. It emphasizes the participating association’s necessity of initiating the establishment of an endowment fund before or at the time they first occupy their purpose-built premise. These days, the Contemporary Art Gallery at 555 Nelson Street and ArtStarts in Schools at 873 Beattie Street are managing well under the pressure generated by the need to gather money. CAG director Christina Ritchie said that long before the anticipated move to the new Bonused Amenity gallery in 2001, her predecessor Keith Wallace made enormous efforts to provide funds for the move and the start-up of the Endowment Fund. Financial support came from individuals and corporations who wished to ensure the continuity of the institution’s service to the art com- munity. ArtStarts Director Wendy Newman, whose non-profit group has been ‘in the program’ since 1996, is also not afraid of ‘THE BIG E’ because she knows she is running something that businesses and people will want to support. At ArtStarts there are exhibitions of childrens’ art that result from artist-taught in-the-schools programs throughout British Columbia. ArtStarts’ expand- ing ‘virtual’ program is catching fire and attracting sponsorships like moths to flame. Next issue, the history of the Bonused Amenity that until 2004 was the home of the Cana- dian Craft Museum will be briefly examined and so will the “New Tax Credit Program” that is generating millions of dollars towards the construction of Portland’s future Museum of Con- temporary Craft.

Although Aspell is usually described as a figurative painter, his style ranged from the robotic to the sensuous, from pure abstraction to pictographic, with saturated colours described by Gary Michael Dault as “a lifelong sojourn in chromatic voluptuousness.” In his portraits and figures, Aspell distilled from movement and expression “the hidden workings of the soul.” His work is filled with historical and literary references, allegories and myths, homages to artists like Max Beckmann, Jean Dubuffet, Fernand Léger, Francis Picabia and Pablo Picasso. They are, as Dault put it, “fresh and fecund, sociologically and mythologically acute.” At times, the imagery is comedic and clown-like; at other, dark and haunting. He was a complete original who invented a repertoire of voices and symbolism. Joy, despair, lust, greed, exaltation – they run the gamut of human Peter Aspell, The Little Clown (2003), oil on museum expression and experience. If his paintings were to talk, board, [Gallery Jones, Vancouver BC, Oct 2-30] there would be a cacophony. Aspell taught at the Vancouver School of Art between 1948-1970 and the Peter Aspell School of Art from 1970–1978. His work is collected by the National Gallery of Canada, Hamilton Art Gallery, Imperial Oil Company Of Canada, Kelowna Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, University of British Columbia and the Vancouver Art Gallery, among others.

The three met in 2006 as visiting assistant professors at Indiana University, and a common theme of transience and place in their work hatched Console. Aili Schmeltz incorporates retro consumer materials and speaks to the dualities inherent in the suburban landscape. Molly Reilly takes on objects discarded from a culture of excess and composes vignettes illustrating the overwhelming sense of loss and familiarity with the physical remains of a cultural memory. Stephanie Doston explores gallery installation, illustrative drawings and decorative patterning with digital media. The installation in general focuses on the artists' personal histories in relation to the eerie landscape of a changing world that has been sculpted by consumer needs and ideals. Unable to separate individual identity from the causes and effects of consumerism, Schmeltz, Reilly and Dotson use their installation as a tool for awareness while keeping the general attitude one of playfulness, humour and introspection. Aili Schmeltz uses warm and familiar materials like vinyl upholstery and polyester to conjure the nostalgia of her 1970s upbringing. The obvious comfort and convenience inherent in her sculptural works create a parody that forces viewers to question what is often seen Stephanie Dotson, Stormdetail, [Portland Art Center, as complacent in a suburban reality. Molly Reilly's quiet Portland OR, Oct 4-26] photographic work includes depictions of the American countryside to evoke a sense of home and place. Stephanie Dotson's visual strategy is rooted in a graphic, illustrative or design-oriented style. With an element of whimsy similar to that found in Schmeltz's work, Dotson's organic forms and animal motifs appear more concerned with the transient edifice of our contemporary outlook on the natural world.

During this time, the rich and privileged by birth experienced a time of extreme well- being and comfort that allowed new fashions to flourish. The silhouette of female fashion changed many times during the era, and fashion novelties came and went in speedy succession. Parisian haute couture was mainly responsible for the emergence of trends that were quickly studied and copied throughout the Western world. Fashions of the period included the Edwardian suit and the “Gibson Girl” look, the latter with embellished ornate blouses replete with pin tucks, pleats, appliqués, insertions of lace and faggoting worn with gored, trumpet-like skirts, all designed for the active, emancipated woman. The Edwardian silhouette, inspired by the designs of Paul Piret, featured empire waistlines and slim, corseted silhouettes, round décolleté necklines and lavish jewellery. Accessories included parasols, small decorative bag-like purses, and incredible Fashionable woman dressed in a stylish walking suit lavish wide-brimmed hats trimmed with ribbons and for a stroll in the park, c. 1890-92, [Vancouver feathers.

Rick Rivet was born and raised in Aklavik, Northwest Territories. He spent his formative years on the Mackenzie River Delta in a community that included Inuit, Indians, Métis and various peoples of European descent. In his paintings, he draws from his experiences of the diversity of Inuit, Indian and Métis cultures. Rivet’s work is influenced by other ancient shamanistic societies throughout the world, philosophical thoughts centred on ideas of the universal unconscious, and his interest in the art movements of Surrealism and Abstract . For Rivet, art is a meditative process, one that mirrors the shaman’s function as mediator between the spirit world and the world of the human. Recurring themes in his paintings include journeys through life, dreams, mapping and transformation. Rivet has had extensive formal education with a BA from the University of Alberta (1969-72); BFA (Painting) from COURTTESY OF GALLERY GEVIK the University of Victoria (1976-80); MFA (Painting) Rick Rivet, Jacob’s Ladder (2002), acrylic on canvas from the University of Saskatchewan (1983-85); and BEd [Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna BC, Sep 15-Nov 18] from the University of Saskatchewan (1985-86).

Chapter 11. The Case of Red Fish with Blue Breasts. Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of participating in an Antiques Road-show event to benefit a local public art gallery. Among the many items I looked at was a coloured silkscreen signed “L. Bellefleur” in the plate . The work was in excellent condition, however, there was no indication of edition number, triage (total number of multiples) or artist’s signature (other than in the plate). This led me to surmise that the work was probably not artist-made, but rather a commercially produced limited-edition silkscreen. I recognized the work as a facsimile silkscreen of Canadian artist Leon Bellefleur’s 1949 oil on canvas painting entitled Red Fish with Blue Breasts (Poissons rouge aux seins bleus). It was purchased by the National Gallery of Canada in 1953 from the Galerie Agnes Lefort, Montreal and has been in the national collection ever since. The work was exhibited at the Vancouver Art Gallery in the winter of 1951 as part of a touring show entitled Leon Bellefleur, Red Fish with Blue Breasts Contemporary Painters of Quebec, which included examples of younger Quebec artists such as Riopelle, Gauvreau and Dumouchel. Bellefleur was heavily influenced by the work of the contemporary German/Swiss artist, , who was an avid fisherman and juxtaposed scientific and mystic imagery in his works Golden Fish, Fish Magic and Around the Fish. The similarity of Bellefleur’s titles in the paintings Red Fish with Blue Breasts and Fish in the City suggest an homage to the master. The imagery in Red Fish with Blue Breasts is suggestive of a collection of strange, otherworldly, and as yet undiscovered sea creatures, each isolated and placed in adjacent holding trays pending further study. The creatures appear to have suggestions of eyes, fins, wings, rudimentary skeletal systems, external bladders, mouths and teeth. The title may refer to humanities’ need to describe, categorize and understand the unknown. This silkscreen was probably produced circa 1966 by the Markgraf brothers, who had immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1957 and set up printing facilities in Quebec. Over the course of several years, they were engaged by the National Gallery to reproduce Canadian works in the national collection. The work was a continuation of a project, initiated some years earlier by the gallery’s involvement with the Sampson-Matthews printing company that included silkscreen reproductions of many painters (some of whom had worked at Sampson-Matthews), and their contemporaries. In 1966 the National Gallery listed the price of Cat. No. NG41-99, the Poissons rouge aux seins bleus silkscreen, at $14. In a 2004 essay in the Journal of Canadian Art History, Joyce Zemans wrote: “In 1969 Anthony Emery, Director of the Vancouver Art Gallery, described the Markgraf prints of contemporary art which had been created in partnership with the . He praised their fidelity and compared their “brilliance” to what he deemed the “porridge and mashed-turnip-coloured [Sampson-Matthews] masterpieces squeegeed desperately through the silk-screens of the National Gallery during World War II to give the nation’s defenders something to fight for or against.” In December 2004, a Vancouver auction house conducted a sale of silkscreens of the Group of Seven and their contemporaries produced by Sampson-Matthews, realizing prices upwards of $2,500 each. Perhaps in the not too distant future similar prices for this far superior silkscreen might also be realized. Next issue: The Case of A.Y. Jackson’s Smart River Alaska

He is recognized as one of the foremost First Nations artists working in Canada today and has contributed a significant body of work to Canada’s cultural heritage in general. As an author and artist, Littlechild’s subject matter focuses on the history and legends of North American First Nations, as well as his own experiences growing up Plains Cree in Canada. Apisasisin, meaning “little things” in the Cree language, is his first group of small paintings. Like his larger works, they have a powerful colour palette and engaging sense of magic. George Littlechild was born in Alberta, Canada. He earned a diploma in Art and Design from Red Deer College and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Since 1988, his paintings have been exhibited in numerous solo group exhibitions in commercial and public galleries and museums in Canada, the United George Littlechild, Ishi the Last of His Tribe, States, Japan and Germany.

Littlechild is the author and illustrator of six books, including the award-winning publication This Land is My Land, described by Publisher’s Weekly as "bold in size, color, and image… a stunning gallery of art by a Native American of singular vision.” Mia Johnson

The result is all-over compositions with networks of fine interwoven brushstrokes. Chris Charlebois, Small and Broken (2007), oil on canvas [Kurbatoff The paintings define the British Gallery, Vancouver BC, Sep 19-Oct 3] Columbia landscape in a way that vistas of mountains and forests cannot capture: as an undertow of branches, bushes and underbrush seen only on foot. He uses a muted palette to capture the dull greys, brown and greens of BC’s climate and vegetation during much of the year, and as a way to keep the focus on paint more than representation. Charlebois studied at Vancouver School of Art during the 1970s under the direction of artists Bruce Boyd and Don Jarvis, whose influences are keenly apparent. He is also inspired by Riopelle and Borduas. Over the years, his work has evolved into a kind of a nature-based abstraction. He achieves his effects by painting with palette knives loaded with a mix of two, three or four colours. Charlebois frequently demonstrates his distinctive impressionistic techniques and shares his valuable insights at the Steveston Village Phoenix Art Workshops. Mia Johnson

Phillips This watercolour titled Docks, Alert Bay came to me in very sad condition, covered with a mottled dark brown discoloration. This type of damage is quite typical of certain alum-sized papers and is also commonly found on the margins of Phillip’s woodblock prints. The question explored in this article is “Why?” Alum has been used as an ingredient in paper sizing for at least five hundred years in Europe, and even longer in the Orient. Very early on, papermakers discovered that adding alum to traditional gelatin sizing reduced problems with mold (alum is a biocide) and increased the Before treatment finished paper’s resistance to abrasion and water. The latter quality is especially important for the watercolour artist. Without sufficient sizing, washes cannot flow over the paper, but sink directly into the sheet, and the slightest reworking will rough up and mar a soft-sized paper’s surface. Watercolour papers are made with these special needs in mind, but it was well- known by artists that soft-sized papers not made for painting could be brushed with additional coats of alum-water to improve their working properties. Phillips was very interested in the technical After treatment aspects of his profession and would almost certainly have been familiar with the practice of sizing papers with alum. He was also introduced to the Japanese tradition of sizing woodblock printing papers with dosa – alum and gelatin solution – by the printer Yoshijiro Urushibara and he describes the method in detail in his book, The Technique of the Color Woodblock, published in 1926. Docks was probably painted in 1927, when Phillips visited his sister in Alert Bay, with alum sizing fresh in his mind. It seems likely that Phillips alum-sized the paper to prevent rippling or uneven paint distribution, but why did the sizing undergo such extreme discoloration? One possibility is that these darker than normal discolorations are caused by the particular type of alum used. True alum, aluminium potassium sulfate, was largely replaced by the much cheaper (and highly acidic) aluminum sulphate or papermakers alum over the course of the 19th century. True alum can be highly refined and purified, removing contaminants such as iron. Papermakers alum cannot be purified to the same extent, and is often contaminated with iron and sulfuric acid, both highly detrimental to the health of paper. My guess is that artists like Phillips and some Japanese woodblock printers were working at the end of that change-over, and substituted papermakers alum for true alum, not realizing the difference it would make. Fortunately, it was possible in this case to safely remove most of the discolouration with chelating agents and a mild bleaching solution and with thorough rinsing by float washing and locally applied water mist on a suction table.

As a result of his bold and wide- ranging experiments, he has been positioned as the grandfather of Pop Art, Happenings, Concept Art, Fluxus, multimedia art and post-modernism. His massive and influential output was ultimately curbed by the advent of World War II, during which Schwitters first escaped to Norway and later was interned as an enemy alien in Britain. Schwitters began making assemblages from scraps of refuse in 1919. He cut four letters spelling “merz” from a word found in an advertisement, and these letters became the conceptual drive behind his work Merz was a comforting notion involving the delicate positioning of fragments of the world into new combinations. His Merz work took him to the forefront of the European avant-garde and into an alliance with new Dada artists. Over the next ten years, he experimented with Merz drawings and collages, large Merz reliefs, sculpture, abstract drama and poetry, cabaret, typography, multimedia art, body painting, music, photography, a Merzmagazine, an enormous architectural installation using eight rooms of his Hanover house, and eventually an advertising agency. Schwitters died in England’s Lake District shortly after beginning construction of a Merzbarn. The Art Gallery of Alberta exhibit of works by Schwitters and his contemporaries shows his influence on contemporary artists beyond the borders of Germany in both their adoption of found Kurt Schwitters, “Merz” magazine, Volume materials and their collage and assemblage techniques.

Sara Angelucci, Swimmers (2003), chromogenic print [Richmond Art Gallery, Richmond BC, Sep 21-Nov 4]

RICHMOND ART GALLERY, RICHMOND BC – Sep 21-Nov 4 Sara Angelucci is a photo and video artist living in Toronto. Of Landscape and Light, beautifullycurated by Karen Henry, brings together landscape photographs from several series of work exploring notions of place, time and light in photography. Angelucci dissects these concepts both technically and in association with meaning and memory by constructing intentionally flawed and fragmented photographs. Her practice include using double exposures, shooting with toy cameras, leaking light into the camera while shooting, or allowing light to leak onto the negative during processing. The elegant and evocative pictures contain layers of suggestive imagery that are both controlled and the result of unintentional patterns, colours, textures and over-exposures. Sara Angelucci earned a Master of Fine Arts at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and a BFA and a BA at the University of Guelph. She has been the recipient of many awards for her innovative photography and video work. Of Landscape and Light is Angelucci’s first exhibit in British Columbia after showing for years in Ontario, Manitoba and Nova Scotia. Her videos have been screened across Canada and included in festivals in Europe and Hong Kong. In 2004, Angelucci had a five-year survey of her work at the MacLaren Centre in Barrie, and in 2006 completed an artist residency in Shanghai, China. She is currently the Director of Toronto’s Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography and has been a photography instructor at the Ontario College of Art and Design since 2001.

Her travelling exhibition, Small Wars is a reflection of the wars that have shaped the last half century in America; the war in Vietnam and the current war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Composed from two different series of photographs, Lê doesn’t document the actual war in Iraq – she was denied permission. Her eloquent black and white photos capture reenactments and An-My Lê, 29 Palms: Marine Palms [detail] (2003-2004), gelatin silver print rehearsals of war, giving the term [Henry Art Gallery, Seattle WA, Aug 8-Nov 4] “theater of war” a new meaning. At a military base located in the California desert where soldiers train before being deployed Lê captures fictional accounts of war that appear to be documentary. In this series 29 Palms (2003- present), named after the military base, vistas of the American landscape dominate over the military activity that is her subject. This approach mirrors the sanitized perspective of the Iraqi war that is filtered into the American public and makes one question the authenticity of such seemingly objective media coverage. In contrast, the graphic terrors of the Vietnam war were largely broadcast into American eyes, creating an iconic remembrance of the horrific events. Lê’s Small Wars series (1999-2002) depicts men who reenact battles from Vietnam in the forests of Virginia. Some are veterans and some are history buffs: Lê is sensitive to the complex psychology of what motivates these men and crafts her images without any parody. Rather, Lê’s pictures resonate with perception about how a war is remembered, examining the premise of accurate experience and corporeal histories. Allyn Cantor

Among dozens of other private, public and corporate collections, her works are in the permanent collections of the Art Gallery of Ontario, Canada Council Art Bank, CBC Collection, Department of External Affairs in Ottawa, Government of British Columbia, Hewlett-Packard Canada, Kamloops Art Gallery, McMichael Canadian Collection, National Gallery of Canada, Petro Canada, Vancouver Art Gallery and Winnipeg Art Gallery. Her exemplary awards include the Gershon Iskowitz Prize, 1990; Order of Canada, 1997; Order of British Columbia, 2002; and Governor Gathie Falk, Moth I (2007), oil on canvas, General’s Award in Visual Arts, 2003. [Equinox Gallery, Vancouver BC, Oct 11-Nov 10] The Equinox Gallery has represented Falk since 1981 when she first showed her Beautiful B.C. Multiple Purpose Thermal Blankets, shortly followed by the luminous Pieces of Water. Falk is known for large-scale canvases filled with light and more recently, intriguing papier-mâché installations combined with paintings or other two-dimensional works. Dreaming of Flying includes a large hand-made papier-mâché canoe mounted on trestles in the middle of the gallery floor, a series of 4 x 4 foot paintings of moths surrounding it on the walls, and mirrors hanging above the canoe that gently rotate and reflect the artworks. The variations in surface and texture, from the aged, opalescent skin of the canoe, to the gentle handling of paint and impasto, to the sharp glittering of the mirror fragments, combine to create a unique and stunning visual-scape. Gathie Falk flies high with this beautiful installation. Mia Johnson

Wood spent last fall and winter working in Venice, Italy to create pieces for his latest exhibition. Venezia includes paintings, prints, and a small group of glass vessels done in collaboration with Venetian glass master Alberto Striulli. Wood's representations of the Italian city were painted plein air at dusk with a deep moody palette, giving the pieces a heightened sense of romanticism. Architectural features give way to interesting characters and unsuspected situations create a sense of wonder and intrigue. The paintings seem like imaginary landscapes that reinvent his experiences through a surreal eye that is more often found in Wood's detailed print work. This is especially true in pieces like Bouquet with Pigeon, where curious creatures emerge from the exaggerated floral arrangement, or Venezia Bouquet, where the fantastic flowers are larger than life against a backdrop of buildings and waterways. Some of Wood's recent prints, like Blue Putto and Tadpole Over Thomas Wood, Bouquet with Pigeon (2006), oil on Venice, also refer to the lore of Venice. canvas [Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle WA, Sep 6-29] One of the most impressive pieces in the show is The Pollinators. This delicate etching and engraving with aquatint took the artist three years to complete. It reveals intricate portrayals of butterflies, birds and other insects fluttering around and intertwined with an allegorical tree-like bundle of various botanical varieties. Allyn Cantor
