Andrea Robin - Long Distance Portraits

Opening reception Saturday April 2, noon - 4 pm

THIS Gallery is proud to present a new solo show by Vancouver artist, Andrea Robin. Patrons are invited to participate at the interactive Empathy Station as they reflect on Robin's delicately colourful and poignant portraits. 10% of sales will be donated to Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre.

Robin's new work depicts a reflection on the separation of families, friends, neighbours, strangers, and - at times - a sense of future self in contextual reality through long-distance portraiture. With isolation comes a fragmentation of identity and through this work, including the interactive drawing activity entitled Empathy Station, Andrea Robin is inviting the viewer to reintegrate into community through observation or witnessing of each other and ourselves.

Artist bio: Andrea Robin, BFA, makes works comprised of abstracted colour in pencil, acrylic, and watercolour pigment. The sensitive observation of colour and line evokes empathy and communion with light, person, and plant.
