Jamie Evrard: On Reflection
to
Bau-Xi Gallery Vancouver 3045 Granville St, Vancouver, British Columbia V6H 3J9
Jamie Evrard, "A Small Piece of May," 2020
oil on canvas, 37.5" x 37"
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 7, 2-4 pm
Acclaimed painter Jamie Evrard's latest exhibition, On Reflection will debut a new series of water studies and features new floral paintings.
Transposed onto new subject matter, Evrard's process takes on an inspired approach as the artist's gestural mark-making expands to capture and elaborate on the open space, lush depths and nuanced qualities of light at play within her source imagery.
Evrards' commitment to her motifs speaks to a profound determination to explore the properties of the oil medium. Whether exercised on arrangements in full bloom or undulating watery expanses, the artist's keen attention to surface texture, skillful accents and layered transparencies create rich, visually compelling compositions of immersive scale and startling immediacy.
