Wyn Geleynse, "Shelter," 2020

sculpture, 17.75" x 38.50" x 30.25"

In mid-May, TrépanierBaer virtually presented Wyn Geleynse's new work titled Shelter (2020), as part of the gallery's (Plan B) series of exhibitions. 

The response to the artist's latest piece was overwhelming, and we were treated to a chorus of "When can I see it?" over and over again. 

The wait is finally over as the sculpture is on view now at TrépanierBaer Gallery. 

As a preamble to the context of Shelter, listen and watch critically-acclaimed artist Wyn Geleynse in conversation with Yves Trépanier discuss the artist’s latest work Shelter, and his first encounters and explorations of the abandoned General Steel Wares warehouse in London, Ontario in the early 1970s.  This experience ignited Geleynse’s imagination and led him to envision the warehouse “... as a container for dreams and memories...” and the development of several major works from the 1990s through to today.
