Exhibition – Iceberg Stranded in My Bed by Faune Ybarra

Exhibition – Iceberg Stranded in My Bed by Faune Ybarra
Aberdeen Skytrain Station
Presented in partnership with the Capture Festival, City of Richmond Public Art and the Canada Line Public Art Program. Faced with her feelings of displacement and the constant need to adapt to different landscapes, diasporic artist Faune Ybarra aspires to ground herself in the places she chooses to live. Born and raised in Mexico, Ybarra moved to St. John’s, Newfoundland, where she lived for four years. She now lives and works in Vancouver. Hoping to acknowledge her presence in a new–albeit potentially transient–place, Ybarra began creating an ongoing multimedia archive of her journeys to weave her story within the broader tapestry of immigrant narratives. This work is a part of Ybarra’s archive.

Exhibition – 11h02m by Jaspal Birdi
2023-04-01 - 2024-02-29 | Lansdowne Skytrain Station, ‎5400 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC, Canada
April 1 – February 29
Exhibition – 11h02m by Jaspal Birdi
Lansdowne Skytrain Station
Presented in partnership with the Capture Festival, City of Richmond Public Art and the Canada Line Public Art Program. 11h02m was first shown in Birdi’s 2020 exhibition, Can I Play Outside. In this work, Birdi draws us back to this time of isolation, when she simultaneously felt a sense of helplessness and an elevated state of creativity, while struggling with feelings of confinement, longing, and hope. The sameness of looking at the sky every day gave Birdi a sense of separation from those she longed to be with. However, seeing the clouds move collectively also gave her a sense of being among a community and the hope that the world would move on from the crisis together.

Exhibition: Observing the Growth of Life – Art by Shuyu Yin

Opening Reception: Saturday January 13th, 3-5pm
Presented by Lipont Gallery and curated by scholar Wu Tiehan, the Observing the Growth of Life – Art by Shuyu Yin Exhibition will open on January 13, 2024. This exhibition will display over ten exquisite flower and bird ink-on-rice paper prints by Yin. The famous art critic Mr. Yongnian Xue commented: Shuyu Yin’s freehand flower and bird paintings are very good at expressing inner beauty. This kind of inner beauty is nothing more than two things: one is the touching poetic feeling of dialogue with nature, and the other is the tranquil and peaceful feelings rich in cultural accomplishment. His inheritance and development of the freehand tradition lies not only in the form of the brush and ink structure, but especially in the freehand concept and cultural spirit.

They evoke a vast night sky, where snowflakes float, drift, and blow about due to forces of nature.

She graduated from UBC with a degree in Fine Arts and BCIT with a certificate in Architectural Design.
