SUMMARY:Once for a While
DESCRIPTION:Chrystal Phan\n\n\n\nCaroline Galbraith Gallery\, & Up-Front GalleryJanuary 10 – March 5\, 2025 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, January 9\, from 6-8 PM \n\n\n\nChrystal Phan is a representational artist who integrates the Vietnamese-Canadian experience into narrative oil paintings to challenge the ways in which we imagine Canadian identity\, drawing particular attention to how the reification of racial stereotypes in art and media can actually reinforce social divisions that prevent racialized people from ever feeling “Canadian”. Using personal narratives Phan’s work collapses the boundary between public and private so that viewers can connect their own lives and experiences to the paintings at an intimate level. \n\n\n\nOnce for A While is a series of oil paintings that explore a Vietnamese family’s awkward attempts at integrating into Canadian life. Using examples from Phan’s own childhood and those of her friends\, Phan’s intention is to capture humorous moments where cultural values have clashed. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nChrystal Phan: Turkey Dinner\, 2021\, oil on canvas\, 48 x 60 in

SUMMARY:Inside Out
DESCRIPTION:Lana Schuster\n\n\n\nCaroline Galbraith Gallery & Up-Front GalleryJuly 25 – September 17\, 2024 \n\n\n\nArtist statement: \n\n\n\nI am interested in so many things about painting. The paint for one. I love to scoop it up\, squeeze it out\, and mix it around\, watch the colours develop\, spread it around\, see what happens\, how the colours and forms look against each other. The brushes for another. I have my favourites. Mostly the ones that hold a lot of paint. The ‘Why paint?’ Because I am compelled to\, I can’t not. The ‘How to paint?’ Now it’s getting really interesting. Because this is what it’s really all about. I try to stay open to new ideas\, to the suggestions of my voice inside\, my outside voice. It is all about trusting the process and being willing to paint authentically\, to be part of something new. \n\n\n\nThe beginnings of my process may start with observing what’s around me. Or it could be a response with something going on internally that I may or may not be aware of. That can be as dramatic as the experience of losing a loved one or simply just wanting to spread some paint around. I’m often moved to paint after I’ve spent time outdoors. Sometimes I start with a plan for a landscape or a concrete image and then I get lost in the paint and process and something completely non-objective emerges. My intuition takes over\, if I let it\, if I trust it\, if I allow myself. \n\n\n\nCreating these works surprise me every time. What you see in them is an expression of an experience\, a record of an experience in time\, something in the past that has passed but truly lives on in the painting. What you see in them is  what you see in them – what is evoked or personally meaningful for you. I hope  that in looking at them\, you will feel something\, see something\, perhaps even experience something that resonates with you.

SUMMARY:Descent into Classicism
DESCRIPTION:Glenn Clark\n\n\n\nTopham Brown Memorial GalleryJuly 25 – September 17\, 2024 \n\n\n\nArtist statement: \n\n\n\nWhen I was young\, I dreamed and schemed of creating neo-classical paintings.  There are a lot of ducks one must put in a row before mural size classical themed paintings can develop.  Fifteen years ago\, I took a couple years off my regular practice to build a studio and that opened the gate of possibilities. \n\n\n\nI always get there it just takes me longer.  Beyond the space and gumption\, an artist needs the reason\, finances\, imagery\, time\, ambition and lots of practice to create this type of work.  After visiting the Louvre in 2016 there was a jolt\, my paintings would look to the past for guidance. It finally all came together and I suspect this descent is turning into something more akin to a spiral.   \n\n\n\nIt always seemed to me that classical artists from previous centuries had better props to work with; horses\, armor\, castles and archaic ruins. I needed new models to push ahead and a photo shoot at a jousting event in Osoyoos was perfect to get started. \n\n\n\nWhat drives an artist; is it the fear of death? The love for life and art are interconnected. When you look at centuries old work you sense a window into the past\, a connection\, a message or warning through this time hole called a painting. You see how things were\, the humor\, mood\, fashion\, cruelty of the time. It’s like the artists were reaching out through a one-way portal to the future\, never wanting to let go\, hanging on through their art.  \n\n\n\nTiming is everything and it’s a good time for artists to take cues from the eighteenth century and beyond when art famously rebelled against the status quo.  People are consistent\, history repeats.  Neo-classicism\, the art of the time of the French Revolution\, arguably the most important chapter in the history of modern civilization; the perfect art for a time of upheaval. All these influences; art history\, my own history\, and the current events that are making history.  You throw that in a studio with yours truly and this is what shakes out.
