Andre Petterson, "Blue Water," 2020

mixed media on panel, 54" X 54"

CLIME, the latest exhibition by Vancouver-based mixed media artist Andre Petterson explores the nature of change through the familiar shorthand of his local environs.

Drawing from imagery of the built environment and natural landscape, Petterson reconceptualizes the relationship between these spaces by displacing and transposing their visual elements. Character homes become resituated atop pebbled beaches and swathes of trees float on the coming tide — a timely and prescient examination of the ways in which we become acclimated to new realities and possible futures.

Andre Petterson has exhibited in both private and public galleries in Canada and the United States. He is the recipient of The National Film Board of Canada Award, and has work featured in numerous private and public collections including Canada Council Art Bank, Canadian Airlines, Vancouver General Hospital, Claridge Investments, Duracell Canada, Esso Resources Canada, Pan-Pacific, Seattle, WA, Polygon Group Ltd., Richmond Public Art, St. Paul’s Hospital, Vancouver, BC, and Wall Centre Garden Hotel.
