Les Ramsay: Excitation Station

Exhibition Opening: February 18, 2022 at 7PM Come and meet the artists behind the work and network with community members.

Les Ramsay is a Vancouver-based Métis artist whose embroideries, paintings, and sculptures begin with the oddities, knick-knacks and discards of domestic craft and outsider artists. Ramsay has an eye for the absurd, recycling discarded objects and using textiles and traditional painting mediums to create unexpected connections as a vehicle for his deeper ecological concerns. In Excitation Station, Ramsay’s witty depictions of marine scenes, forest life, and knick-knacks cloaks a pointed awareness of the material surplus contributing to Canada’s worsening climate disasters.
