Artist Talk: Samuel Roy-Bois
January 24 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
The Vernon Public Art Gallery is pleased to present Kitchen Corner, a new exhibition by award-winning artist and Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, Samuel Roy-Bois. The exhibition will be on view at the Vernon Public Art Gallery from January 9 to March 11, 2026.
Born in Québec City, Roy-Bois is known nationally and internationally for his ambitious installations that explore architecture, everyday materials, and the environments we shape. His work has been featured at major institutions including the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the Audain Art Museum, and the Esker Foundation, and is held in numerous Canadian collections.
The sculptures in Kitchen Corner resemble the exposed framing of buildings; supports, joints, and partial structures that suggest spaces still being built. Using familiar materials and forms, the works reflect the environments we inhabit every day and encourage viewers to notice how these structures influence how we move through and understand the world around us.
An artist talk with Samuel Roy-Bois will be held on Saturday, January 24, from 1–2 PM, offering visitors a unique opportunity to hear directly from the artist about his practice and the ideas behind Kitchen Corner.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with the work of award-winning Canadian artist Samuel Roy-Bois and experience Kitchen Corner at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. Entry is by donation.
