The Point Is

Kelowna Art Gallery
Recent large paintings by Pierre Coupey, Landon Mackenzie, Bernadette Phan, Martin Pearce, and Bryan Ryley

August 20 to October 30, 2011

The Point Is exhibition brings together the work of five contemporary painters who work in a large scale and in an energized zone that hovers between representation and pure abstraction. Traditionally, abstraction and representation have been seen as opposite poles in the world of art, but in the last ten or twenty years, artists have been blurring the distinctions between the two ways of working.

In this show, visitors will be able to contemplate examples of recent work by five very disparate artists: the five are from different generations, have different sources and influences, and live in various parts of Canada.

Pierre Coupey, Landon Mackenzie, Bernadette Phan, Martin Pearce, and Bryan Ryley are linked by their interest in creating work that may appear to be abstract, but is laden with existential content, imagery and meaning. The approaches that each painter takes to his or her work will be detailed in an accompanying catalogue written by the Kelowna Art Gallery’s curator, Liz Wylie.
