The Elizabeth Leach Gallery in Portland, Oregon, presents Diverse Voices, an exhibition of work by seven mid-career artists from Vancouver curated by Rachel Rosenfield Lafo, former director of the Richmond Art Gallery.
The exhibition is on view from July 19 to Sept. 1.
The artists in Diverse Voices have intensive process-oriented practices infused with technical experimentation and rich material resonances.
Diyan Achjadi, Brendan Tang and Howie Tsui combine ancient and contemporary aesthetics in their ceramics, prints and drawings, mixing historical influences with aspects of popular culture to address themes of cultural hybridity.
Jeremy Hof, Angela Teng and Mark De Long experiment with the physical properties of materials to subvert traditional expectations.
James Nizam studies the material and spatial qualities of light, rendering it into geometric sculptural forms.
Lafo is now based in Portland as an independent curator and writer.
