Bau-Xi Gallery Vancouver, "Deeper Shade of Blue," 2018

Gallery Artists | A Deeper Shade of Blue

Opening Reception: Saturday, July 7, 2-4PM Artists in Attendance

Of all the fixtures of the artist’s palette, blue is the most chimerical: a fantastical vision, a product of unchecked human imagination. The earliest blues—Egyptian frit, woad, indigo and ultramarine—were borne of the widely-shared desire to hold the likeness of the sea and sky and to substantiate what was beyond our grasp.

A Deeper Shade of Blue, a curated exhibition of selected work by gallery artists, on view this July at Bau-Xi Vancouver, invites artists and viewers alike to engage with the fascinating psychological, emotional and environmental qualities attributed to the depths of the colour blue. The exhibition features new work by Vicki Smith, Andre Petterson, Jamie Evrard, Janna Watson, Cori Creed, and others.
