The gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by two BC artists, Christian Nicolay and Yuri Arajs, April 9th to May 8th. The opening reception is Friday, April 9th, 6-9 pm and we sincerely hope you will be able to attend. Both artists will be present at the opening.
Christian Nicolay's interdisciplinary art practice combines performance, mixed media drawing, sound recording, installation and video; often simultaneously playing with notions of chance, spontaneity and humour, exploring the relationships between order and chaos, and the unity of opposites. He summarizes his art and life by "paying attention to systematic confusion".
Yuri Arajs' landscapes are painted on carefully selected wood panel where the grain and warmth of the wood are integral parts of the painting. Painted elements are precise and he only paints what is absolutely necessary to the work. A horizon might be a perfect subtle graphite or painted line. Other paintings are on pieces of found metal where all precision is abandoned in the riot of rust and distressed elements.
