No. 3 Road Art Columns: Andrew Talbot, Emily Lau, Susan Taylor
2024-02-06 - 2024-07-31 | Aberdeen Centre and Lansdowne Centre Skytrain Stations
February 6 – July 31
No. 3 Road Art Columns: Andrew Talbot, Emily Lau, Susan Taylor
Skytrain pillars,
Lansdowne and Aberdeen Stations
The work of artists Andrew Talbot, Emily Lau and Susan Taylor have been installed in the large, backlit display cases at the base of three concrete support columns and will be on view until July 31. This exhibition was produced in partnership with the Richmond Arts Coalition and highlights work by Richmond artists. Andrew Talbot’s paintings at Lansdowne Station present a vibrant celebration of Richmond’s wildlife expressed as a harmonious composition of multiple layers converging into a unified whole. Emily Lau’s digital paintings, also at Lansdowne Station, celebrate the diversity and beauty of individual stories and contributions made by Richmond residents’ and visitors’ day-to-day lives. Susan Taylor’s photographs at Aberdeen Station explore the complexity of lines and nets within the culture of fishing, towing and other water-based activities. The intricate structures of the nets can be transformed into a terrible beauty when, as ghost gear—damaged and abandoned—they can snare marine life.

Exhibition: Membranes and Pith 305 & Reverie 25
Canada Line – Aberdeen Station
The Aberdeen Canada Line Station Art Wrap is presented in partnership with City of Richmond Public Art. What emotions or memories can food unearth? What do our meals reveal about our sense of belonging, family and history? In Membranes and Pith 305 and Reverie 25, Vancouver-based multidisciplinary artist Cherry Archer utilizes the evocative powers of culinary plants deeply rooted in her Trinidadian heritage to create images that awaken memories of her family and culture. She freezes produce in water, creating a “botanical ice tile,” which she then illuminates with coloured light, photographs, and prints in large format.

Exhibition: The Industrial Shoreline
2024-06-11 - 2024-08-26 | Richmond City Hall – City Hall Galleria, 6911 No. 3 Road, Richmond, British Columbia, V6Y 2C1, Canada
Ongoing – August 26
Exhibition: The Industrial Shoreline
Richmond City Hall
6911 No. 3 Road
The Industrial Shoreline showcases six large wall-hanging quilt pieces by Pender Island-based textile artist Susan Purney Mark, depicting scenes of working harbours in BC. Drawing from her experiences of living near the ocean and traveling along its coastlines, Mark’s work highlights the tension between the high demands of the marine shipping industry and the collective aspiration for a sustainable marine ecosystem, which human activities both impact and depend on. This complexity is conveyed through the contrast between the material choice of the intricate, subtle hand-dyed and hand-sewn fabrics, and the portrayals of rigid, patinated metal cranes and shipping containers.

Joselito Macapagal: The Joy of Seeing

June 25 – September 23
Joselito Macapagal: The Joy of Seeing
Richmond Cultural Centre Annex
7660 Minoru Gate
Presented by the Richmond Art Gallery. The Joy of Seeing presents a selection of realistic and semi-abstract watercolour, oil, and acrylic paintings created between 2020 and 2022 by Richmond-based Filipino-Canadian artist Joselito Macapagal. His work captures fleeting yet memorable moments from his everyday life and travels: the bustling produce aisle in a local market, pre-storm clouds at Macdonald Beach, the distinctive nipa hut in the Philippines, and a steaming churro cart in Mexico. Using painting as a form of mediation and storytelling, Macapagal invites the audience into a world where he shares his joy of translating the colours, textures, lines, and shapes of such scenes in his paintings.
