Exhibition: Tides Within
2026-01-05 - 2026-03-24 | Richmond Cultural Centre Annex, 7660 Minoru Gate, Richmond, BC, V6Y 1R8, Canada
January 5 – March 24
Exhibition: Tides Within
Richmond Cultural Centre Annex – The Annex Gallery
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: Mitchell Seeyu – Flights of Serendipity
2026-01-06 - 2026-03-09 | Richmond City Hall – City Hall Galleria, 6911 No. 3 Road, Richmond, British Columbia, V6Y 2C1, Canada
January 6 – March 9
Exhibition: Mitchell Seeyu – Flights of Serendipity
City Hall Galleria
6911 No. 3 Road
In Flights of Serendipity, Mitchell Seeyu invites viewers into a world where fleeting encounters with nature and culture are captured through the fluid washes of colour and soft tonal transitions, drawing on the expressive aesthetics of the Lingnan School of Chinese ink painting. Seeyu draws inspiration from memories of Hong Kong and everyday moments in Vancouver—migratory birds mid-song, playful goldfish beneath blossoms, lion dances in the snow during Lunar New Year. Rendered on xuan paper with nuanced brushwork and atmospheric layering, these scenes evoke a dreamlike harmony between spontaneity and intention, reflecting a life attuned to the serendipitous rhythms of nature.

Ongoing – April 4
Exhibition: The Chromophiliacs
Richmond Art Gallery
7700 Minoru Gate
January 24, 1pm-4pm: Opening Reception and Tour
This winter, Richmond Art Gallery will explode with colour with works by Diyan Achjadi, Moozhan Ahmadzadegan, Maru Aponte, Sandeep Johal, Yaimel López Zaldívar, Laura Meza Orozco, Osvaldo Ramirez Castillo, Malina Sintnicolaas, Charlene Vickers, and Jan Wade. Published at the beginning of the twenty-first century, David Batchelor’s book Chromophobia (2000) critically examined what the author termed “chromophobia”—the fear of colour. Historically marginalized and othered within European and North American culture, colour continues, even today, to be linked to notions of impurity, primitivism, and decadence. A dynamic response to his still timely thesis, The Chromophiliacs is an electrifying showcase of artists profoundly inspired by colour as well as a myriad of craft practices and cultural aesthetics. Curated by Zoë Chan.

Collection Close-up: Juan Carrillo de la Cruz’s #62

January 24 – April 4
Collection Close-up: Juan Carrillo de la Cruz’s #62
Richmond Art Gallery
7700 Minoru Gate
Donated to Richmond Art Gallery by Arthur Richardson in 1994, this work by Jalisco artist Juan Carrillo de la Cruz exemplifies the rich artistic tradition of the Huichol or Wixárika community in Northwestern Mexico. For the Huichols, the realm of spirituality is intricately woven into the fabric of daily life, and their art is a vivid expression of this very present relationship with the cosmos. The imagery and colour palette in Huichol art brim with symbolism. Collection Close-up is an ongoing initiative where we highlight a Permanent Collection work , which has a formal or thematic link to the Gallery’s featured exhibition, in our Art Lounge. #62 was selected for its resonance with the themes of the exhibition The Chromophiliacs.
