Opening Celebrations of Playing with Fire: Ceramics of the Extraordinary
Thursday November 21, 2019 | 7 pm
We invite you to the opening of our stunning new group exhibition featuring 11 BC-based artists who have created a series of extraordinary ceramic works that express opinions and offer commentary on the state of the world around us.
The exhibition showcases the work of Judy Chartrand, Ying-Yueh Chuang, Gathie Falk, Jeremy Hatch, Ian Johnston, David Lambert, Glenn Lewis, Alywn O’Brien, Bill Rennie, Debra Sloan and Brendan Tang. Internationally recognized, each of these local artists is acclaimed for their fearless work in the form of ceramic sculpture.
In Playing with Fire, the artists defiantly and boldly challenge the notion that all things made of clay are required to be functional; in their works, clay is released from this constraint and elevated into extraordinary works of art.
