On February 11 at 5:30pm, the Tidemark Art Gallery will host an opening reception for ‘Splice’, a collection of new large abstract paintings and collage work by Justice Schanfarber.

Justice Schanfarber is a self-taught artist living and working in Campbell River. He makes large and small abstract paintings that sometimes include collage and assemblage.

Justice helped shape Vancouver BC's art-rock and experimental music scene in the 90's with his unique sound collage recordings and performances. Today Justice works as a couples therapist and he brings his psychological experience and insights to his visual art practice.

"The purpose of my art practice is to engage with aesthetic forces that I do not understand. My relationship with these forces deepens over time and proximity, and also through the successful completion of work; hence my commitment to the practice of art making.

Working with unintended consequences is a crucial part of my practice. I take risks in materials and process, making mistakes and then working with the mistakes. In this way mistakes are refined and redefined, becoming synchronicities and blessings." - Justice Schanfarber
