Opening Reception: Sat. Feb. 8, Noon to 4pm

THIS Gallery is thrilled to announce a solo exhibition of new work by Vancouver-based painter Carol Kong.

Life is Still is a solo exhibition that invites viewers to pause and look at the overlooked. In this collection of still life paintings, Carol Kong transforms ordinary objects into visual poetry. Each piece captures a quiet beauty, directing our attention to the delicate dance of light and shadow and the subtle colours that bring things to life. These works are not merely representations of objects, but explorations of simply being.

“Objects are vessels of our memories, and they remind us that even the simplest things can hold a world of emotion, if only we take the time to be still,” says Kong.

Kong approaches her work with a meditative focus. This process creates intimacy within her paintings, holding a space for reflection and a quiet dialogue with ourselves. Life is Still awakens us to see beyond the surface, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the simple and fleeting moments of everyday life. Through her work, Kong invites us to contemplate stillness and the beauty hidden in plain sight.
