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.

Joselito Macapagal: The Joy of Seeing

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.

Richmond Art Gallery
7700 Minoru Gate
Join Richmond Art Gallery curator Zoë Chan and several artists from the It begins with knowing and not knowing exhibition for an informal tour. Opening launch to immediately follow.
In a world rife with injustice, pain, and uncertainty, this compelling group of artists engage with dimensions of spirituality, ceremony, dreams, and ritual to find greater meaning, rebuild ties with community, bolster a sense of self, or regain a sense of optimism. The Gallery is transformed by new and recent works including photographs, cyanotypes, textiles, sculptures, videos, ceramics, paintings, and performance.
Rebecca Bair translates her hair-care rituals into a language of care in a series of cyanotypes featuring imprints of her hair extensions and wet curls. Xinwei Che invites visitors to slow down and consider geological time in her use of clay and performance. Patrick Cruz paints alternate realities based on his experimentations with past-life regression techniques. Zoë Kreye constructs ethereal immersive installations with textiles painted using her entire body. Ogheneofegor Obuwoma’s striking film delves into the difficulties of their experiences at a Catholic boarding school. Michelle Sound finds joy in the utilization of material practices like beadwork and drum making in the face of ongoing impacts of colonial violence on family members and Indigenous communities. Ximena Velázquez (La PosmoBaby) nurtures ties to her mother country Mexico through the cooking of her great grandmother’s recipes.

Lipont Gallery is honoured to present PLAY! A Retro-Speculative, an exhibition of oil paintings by Vancouver-based artist Sally Clark. This year, we were pleased to discover a group of oil paintings created by Clark in the late 1970s. These works are astonishing. There’s a joy in these paintings that elicit a yearning in people and inspire curiosity about that era. As stated in Wong Kar-wai’s film In the Mood for Love: “That era has passed, and everything belonging to that era no longer exists.” Every era has its own qualities that define it. With her unique painting style, Sally Clark provides us with an amazing perspective on those times.

Dream Mechanism – 2024 Summer Group Exhibition
Lipont Gallery
4211 No. 3 Road
Opening August 8, 2024 7-9pm at Lipont Gallery
Nine Metro Vancouver-based artists explore the “new normal” in the post-epidemic era. The progress of artificial intelligence and synthetic biology, human cell regeneration, and virtual reality and augmented reality will soon be integrated into human life. Humans are facing an era of new and old productivity and may experience changes in ethics and the reshaping of moral norms soon. The artists lead us to think deeply, and in the dreamlike “reality”, they can achieve “nostalgia” or foresight through their works of art. The exhibition features painting, drawing, sculpture, assemblage, fibre art, ceramic, and digital prints by Daniil Alikov, Sally Clark, Mallory Donen, Anyuta Gusakova, Sofiya Mukhachova, Maude Ren, Sabine Simons, Grace Tao, and Guo Yan.
