Canvas Unbound 2017 Exhibition in Vancouver

1241 Cartwright Street, Vancouver, BC

I am glad to share that my artwork Otherness is selected for an annual juried exhibition Canvas Unbound held by the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA). The exhibition will take place in Vancouver from February 14 to 26, 2017.
Canvas Unbound releases art from the canvas and extends it out to the real world! The notion of this exhibition is to prove that and demonstrate that for certain works a frame limits visual perception of the substance and form of the artwork which continues beyond the boundaries of a frame and gets absolved into an ambiance of the real things surrounding the painting. The exhibition is juried by a distinguished member panel of FCA: Jutta Kaiser, SFCA, Patricia Peacock, SFCA, and Gale More, AFCA.
I invite you to visit the exhibition and enjoy the beautiful works of art by contemporary Canadian artists, the members of our association. The gallery is located at 1241 Cartwright Street, Vancouver, BC.Enjoy art and have a great summer time on Granville Island!

Installations will include photography, painting, sculpture, video/film, interactive activities, and performances.
