Unscripted

Group show featuring Jennifer Seymour, Duncan MacCallum and Gabryel Harrison.

Gabryel Harrison's Braille paintings lure the viewer into an intimate deep indigo night sky where darkness is a doorway for the imagination "We all, to some degree, suffer the wound of blindness. It is in our soul essence that we share with the world around us, that we find near perfect sight. Before words, before thinking, there is a simple, deep response, a feeling in the heart that recognizes truth. I wish, in these pieces, to speak to that place." The Braille that forms the ground of this work, is her own poetic text composed and then translated into individual sheets. She works in translucent layers of oil glazes over this ground to transform the text into a landscape evocative of space and the cosmos. "The text you cannot read, but perceive, is indicative of the illusion of the world of the senses. There is always more to the world than meets the eye."

Jennifer Seymour's compelling urban landscapes are a sophisticated blend of photo transfer and traditional painting. Inspired by unique reflected light or descending fog, her paintings draw you into an extraordinary maze of concrete and steel. In this new body of work Jennifer evokes that very unique play of light that gives Vancouver its mystical verve.

Duncan MacCallum's 3-D artworks are an original and imaginative marriage of painting and sculpture. Vibrant saturated colours, combine with delicate form and figure to create a very powerful metaphorical image. Duncan has mastered both his technique and aesthetic in these new offerings.
