Kicking off the summer season, Penticton Art Gallery presents Unexpected Bateman, an exhibition dedicated to the legendary Canadian artist, Robert Bateman. This retrospective invites visitors to delve into Bateman's multifaceted artistic journey spanning over nine decades. While Bateman is widely celebrated for his realistic portrayals of wildlife and nature, this exhibition aims to unveil lesser-known facets of his oeuvre, challenging preconceptions and inviting viewers to reevaluate their perceptions of his work. From his early explorations in representational art to his later forays into abstraction, "Unexpected Bateman" promises to be a journey of discovery, shedding new light on a Canadian icon. In conjunction with this incredible exhibition PAG has three events to attend, including two meet and greets with Robert Bateman.
