Exhibition: Tides Within
2026-01-05 - 2026-05-03 | Richmond Cultural Centre Annex, 7660 Minoru Gate, Richmond, BC, V6Y 1R8, Canada
January 5 – May 4
Exhibition: Tides Within
Richmond Cultural Centre Annex
7660 Minoru Gate
Tides Within brings together Richmond-based artists Fanny BokYin Tang and Debra Zhou, whose practices share a deep desire to harmonize inner freedom with the rhythms of the natural world. Tang’s surreal seascapes reflect on environmental fragility and Buddhist teachings, blending playful marine life with symbolic coral forms. Zhou’s abstract watercolour landscapes are rooted in her experience of pregnancy and early motherhood, evoking the resonance between the creation of life and the cosmos beyond. Using water as a central metaphor for connection and impermanence, both artists offer introspective visual languages shaped by the aesthetics of Chinese ink brush painting.

Exhibition – Keely-O’Brien: Secret Ingredients
Richmond-Brighouse Skytrain Station
Secret Ingredients began as a call by the artist for the public to submit messages they found difficult to express directly to someone in their life, but felt ready to share. These messages were transformed into decorated cakes and delivered to the intended recipients as an edible form of communication. Exhibited now as a series of photographs at the Canada Line’s Richmond-Brighouse Station, they become an unexpected moment of reflection during a commute.

The photo installation depicts two concrete lion finials salvaged from the gates of a demolished Vancouver Special. Each season, the lions are painted and placed in various overgrown locations throughout the city. Mimicking their original position at the gates of the former home, the reimagined lions stand guard at the entrance to the Canada Line station.
