TOUR AT THE SURREY ART GALLERY

Thanks to everyone who came out to the tour at Surrey Art Gallery. We were lucky to have Ann Thomas give us a tour of the exhibition Flora and Fauna: 400 Years of Artists Inspired by Nature. Special thanks to Jordan Strom and the team at the Surrey Art Gallery for making us feel so welcome and for the beautiful reception post-tour. We just thought we'd share some photos of the exhibition as well as more information on all of the artists who are part of this fantastic show.

Flora and Fauna: 400 Years of artists Inspired by Nature, a touring exhibition organized by the National Gallery includes 74 extraordinary artworks from the 16th through 20th centuries, including strong representation from Great Britain with works by Lucian Freud, Charles Rennie McIntosh, William de Morgan. Postwar American photography by the likes of Lee Friedlander, Stephen Shore, and Joel Sternfeld; Extraordinary contemporary works by Canadians Aganetha and Richard Dyck, Shary Boyle, Lorraine Gilbert and Michel Campeau. Some wonderful 19^th century photography from France Hippolyte Bayard, Eugène Atget, and Jean-Gabriel Eynard. And lovely 16^th century Indian watercolour and German insect prints from the 17^th century, among many other offerings.

Also on concurrently at the Surrey Art Gallery, Cascadia: A Juried Exhibition of West Coast Flora and Fauna.

MORE INFO ON THE SPACES THAT ARE ON THE TOUR:

BAF Studio was opened in April 2014 in conjunction with the launch of the Burrard Arts Foundation.  The gallery exists to promote and exhibit innovative and engaging contemporary art in an environment that is open and accessible to all.  BAF Studio has a special focus on providing assistance to promising and qualified emerging artists through professional support and development opportunities, providing resources that may not have existed otherwise.  

Along with our formal exhibition schedule, BAF Studio also hosts public programming and events, making it a great venue for the community to come together and share in the Arts.

In 1999, LaTiesha specialized in Northwest Coast Native Art while completing her Bachelor of Western Art History at the University of British Columbia. During this time she became an Art Dealer specializing in Northwest Coast Art. It is this combination of experience that influenced the genesis of the Fazakas Gallery. A gallery that embraces cross cultural contemporary works. 

Field Contemporary was founded by Daniel Jefferies in October of 2013. Situated at 17 West Broadway, the gallery was conceived as a space to promote critical artistic thinking and understanding and where local contemporary artists are able to correspond with international artists. Committed to furthering Vancouver’s visual cultural identity, Field wishes to lend the opportunity for success to emerging artists and curators. The first exhibition Outside A Marble Palace took place from April 25th — May 24th, 2014 and featured new work by Vancouver based artists Vanessa Brown & Deirdre McAdams. This is now the gallery's fourth exhibition, featuring work from San Francisco artists David Bayus and Evan Reiser and Los Angeles artist Ben Sanders.
