SUMMARY:Exhibition: Membranes and Pith 305 & Reverie 25
DESCRIPTION:April 15 2024 – March 15\, 2025\nExhibition: Membranes and Pith 305 & Reverie 25\nCanada Line – Aberdeen Station\nThe 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.\nWebsite: https://www.richmondartgallery.org/cherry-archer

SUMMARY:Unforeseen Clouds – Paintings by Kai Liu
DESCRIPTION:Ongoing – February 19\nUnforeseen Clouds – Paintings by Kai Liu\nLipont Gallery\n4211 No. 3 Road\nClosing Reception: February 18th\, 2025\, 6-9pm\nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/closing-reception-unforeseen-clouds-paintings-by-kai-liu-tickets-1227046823079\nThis body of work is an extension of my exploration of the “meaning” and “appearance” of landscapes during my graduate studies. The central theme of this series is clouds\, which frequently appear in traditional paintings and literature as symbols of transformation and fluidity. These works reflect my thoughts on “change” and “continuity” during my journey of immigrating to Canada and pursuing an art life\, as well as my reflections on past experiences. Formed by the interplay of earth\, water\, fire\, and wind\, clouds constantly move between the tangible and the intangible. – Kai Liu 2024\nWebsite: https://www.lipontgallery.ca/artists/kai-liu/

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Dear Plastic
DESCRIPTION:January 18 – March 23\nExhibition: Dear Plastic\nRichmond Art Gallery\n7700 Minoru Gate\nOpening Reception: January 18\, 2pm-4pm\nArtwork by Ari Bayuaji\, Emily Hermant\, Caroline Monnet\, Alex Tedlie-Stursberg\, and Cheryl Wong. Curated by Zoë Chan. The five featured artists of Dear Plastic straddle the divide between what is considered artificial versus natural in their engagement with plastic. They clearly delight in the potential of plastic as artistic material\, which they reuse\, repurpose\, or reimagine to fashion visually arresting works. The thought-provoking pieces in this exhibition avoid a simple environmentalist stance or nostalgia for untouched landscapes.\nWebsite: https://www.richmondartgallery.org/dear-plastic\nGeorgia Straight: https://www.straight.com/arts/richmond-art-gallery-opens-2025-by-highlighting-climate-and-plastic-issues\nPancouver Article: https://pancouver.ca/richmond-art-gallerys-dear-plastic-exhibition-reflects-on-a-ubiquitous-and-inescapable-material/
