The exhibition “SECRET SOLITUDES” presents a captivating body of work by artist, Sally Clark, offering an intimate yet expansive exploration of the contemporary human condition, filtered through the lens of ancient myth, art historical homage and the raw, untamed landscape of British Columbia and the Canadian North. Clark, an accomplished painter, playwright, and filmmaker brings a multi-layered, narrative sensibility to her canvases, developing her rich, vibrant colours through the meticulous, layered techniques of the Old Masters, where light is formed optically by passing through underpainting and overpainting.
