Past

Adad Hannah
at the Fairmont Pacific Rim

Adad Hannah以他的摄影及视频作品而闻名，这些照片和视频探索了tableaux vivants的电影潜力：一种以模特尽可能地保持静止为特点的表演类型。Hannah的作品参考了著名历史画作，并使用当代技术对其进行了重塑，刷新了艺术品主体和观众之间的关系，鼓励我们考虑自身与每幅图像中人物的关系。

除了Hannah对通过摄影镜头重新审视历史绘画的兴趣之外，本次展览的作品还关注他以社区为基础的合作性艺术创作方式。在主楼展示的是Hannah项目中的三件作品 Blackwater Ophelia, 灵感来自1852年的画作Opelia，这是英国现实主义画家John Everett Millais的著名作品，对自然世界给予了极大的关注。二楼是一个基于毕加索作品的大型装置 Guernica--有史以来最具代表性的反战画作之一，以及Adad Hannah The Decameron Retold系列中的精选作品。在每一件精心制作的作品中，道具、舞台支架和手绘元素的存在突出了作品构造，强调了图像的创作过程。

Adad Hannah于1971年出生在纽约，在以色列和英国度过了他的童年，并在20世纪80年代初搬到温哥华。他的作品在世界各地都有公共及私人收藏，并在美国、加拿大、墨西哥、欧洲、西非、中国、韩国、澳大利亚、俄罗斯、阿根廷和巴西广泛展出。Hannah持有蒙特利尔Concordia University的博士和艺术硕士学位，以及温哥华Emily Carr University of Art + Design的艺术学士学位。

Khan Lee
Lost and Found

在这次展览中，Lee展示了一组不同媒介的作品，鼓励观众思考材料和设备如何以不同的方式被体验。在展览中，Super8胶片测量了时间和距离；令人眼花缭乱的Zoom背景的现实主义水彩画，探讨了人们如何选择通过个人物品来代表自己；而普通的物品，如男士衬衫和纸杯，提供了一个关于日常现象如何容易被忽视的诗意思考。在对日常物品和场景的重新编排中，“Lost and Found"重新唤起了日常生活中令人惊讶且往往是无形的瞬间。

Jack Kenna

A multifaceted artist, Jack Kenna learned the aesthetics and techniques of stained glass from his mother, an accomplished artist in this realm. Drawing from his repeated experience of moving houses and studios over the years, Kenna has inadvertently collected dozens of plastic milk crates, using them for storage as well as makeshift DIY furniture. And now, these versatile objects serve as the basis for his art objects, accruing even greater value and purpose. The artist removes one side of each milk crate, refitting it with stained glass compositions that combine elements of Minimalism, Op art, and hard-edge abstraction in their design. Some sculptures are stacked into columns, others are randomly placed on the floor, while still others are lit from behind suggesting illuminated church windows or light boxes used in contemporary advertising (and subsequently in photography). By manipulating and combining such paradoxical materials, Kenna’s sculptures embody strength and fragility in surprising, witty, and elegant ways.

Devon Knowles
Gone and Going

Equinox Gallery十分开心推出Devon Knowles在画廊的首次个展"Gone and Going"。

在Devon Knowles的新作品中，材料工程被视为物体本身及过程探寻。通过一个持续的观察过程，Knowles记录了转型中的城市地点及社区景象，直觉地注意到她所选择的地点中存在的颜色和模式的重复性。她在街区的观察通过多种技术进行过滤，她将不断变化的风景碎片化并重新组合成铝、熔融玻璃和彩色玻璃的作品。在描述她的作品时，艺术家指出，"纹理、颜色、它们的来源及其尺寸的微小变化都很重要。通过物理光在物体表面的照射而吹出纹理的颜色，使其从某些角度看是无法穿透的。在那一刻所凸显的是它的表面，你无法看到外部光线反弹的强光，这是一个临时的边界"。边界的概念渗透到Knowles的作品中，她对材料深思熟虑后的使用推动了对空间、边缘和人类存在的仔细检查。

Knowles曾在柏林、多伦多、布鲁克林和温哥华举办过她的个人展览。并在Vancouver Art Gallery、Night Gallery、SFU Gallery、Charles H. Scott Gallery、Western Front、Or Gallery和Unit Pitt等画廊参加了群展。Knowles作为公共艺术领域的新锐艺术家，获得过多伦多艺术委员会、安大略省艺术委员会、不列颠哥伦比亚省艺术委员会、加拿大艺术委员会的资助，并被授予市长艺术奖。她曾在Emily Carr University of Art + Design、Simon Fraser University和University of Victoria任教，目前是Langara College （snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓）的教职员工。她的作品被Vancouver Art Gallery永久收藏。画家在加拿大温哥华生活与工作。

Gordon Smith
A Painter's Legacy

Gordon Smith: A Painter’s Legacy opens on September 10th, 2022 at Equinox Gallery on Commercial Street in Vancouver.

Angela Teng
New Works

Equinox Galley很高兴推出温哥华画家Angela Teng的新作品展。从Emily Carr University of Art + Design毕业后，Teng的当代创作与历史上的绘画媒介的接触导致了一种独特的风格，其核心是挑战绘画的性质及其支持结构。

Angela Teng considers the histories of craft and textiles to connect the dualities of painting (painting as an object vs. painting as a process). The artist began this new body of work through a thrifting process where second-hand stores were scoured for incomplete or unwanted needlepoint patterns and designs. Historically devalued due to its association with “women’s work,” needlepoint is one of the oldest-known forms of canvas work where coloured yarn or embroidery thread is stitched through a pre-planned design on a stiff, open weave canvas. For Teng, the open texture provides the ideal opening to create her own works based on the existing designs but using the glistening and oozing material of oil paint rather than a continuous length of thread. The creators of the needlepoint patterns remain anonymous, and by re-using them and adding to them, Teng brings contemporary validation to their work and connects herself to the unknown artists of the past. The intimate scale is also to be noted in these works. As these are based on a historically domestic craft, the small scale is a counter-point to the large canvases of the 20^thcentury abstract expressionists.  Through a thoughtful approach that challenges ideas around traditionally feminized artistic labour, Teng’s paintings are enlivened by a visual imagination that highlights the process of production while engaging in contested conversations about the distinctions between craft and fine art, textile and painting, labour and leisure.

Angela Teng: New Works于2022年9月10日在Equinox Gallery开幕。

50 Years | 50 Stories

Equinox Gallery在2022年迎来了它的50周年纪念。为了庆祝这一里程碑，并回顾过去50年的画廊故事，我们推出了“50 Years | 50 Stories”，一场不拘一格的艺术作品展览，讲述了画廊的深远影响、个人轶事及创意策略。作为全国商业艺术领域的支柱之一，我们举办了超过400场展览，代理了许多加拿大的顶级人才和国际艺术界的巨头。通过展出这些艺术家的作品，这次展览考虑了画廊在更广阔及不断变化的艺术世界背景下对发展艺术家的职业的关注。

While much has changed at the gallery over the past 50 years, our long-term relationships with artists and collectors (both public and private) remain central to the gallery’s ethos. It is by nurturing such deep-rooted connections that we are able to contribute to the significant role art plays in enriching people’s lives.

感谢您在过去50年的支持，我们期待着下一个50年的到来。

Bobbie Burgers
Forest for the Trees

Bobbie Burgers’ new body of work chronicles the nuances of a wide ranging studio painting practice. Forest for the Trees reflects the artist’s interest in the way that small details hold the potential for enormous impact and an understanding that the final image takes time to develop and emerge. Through a fluid and sequential approach to painting, Burgers’ new works build and expand on each other as she continues to merge abstraction with representation in increasing degrees.

Fred Herzog
East Vancouver

Fred Herzog: East Vancouver is focused on Herzog’s photographs of the east side of Vancouver. After emigrating to Canada in the early 1950s, Herzog began photographing Vancouver’s streets on regular walking excursions. While he lived and worked in the West End and the west side of the city, Herzog was particularly attuned to Chinatown, Strathcona, and what is now known as the Downtown Eastside, three neighbourhoods that sustained his interest for over 50 years. His use of colour was unusual in the 1950s and 60s, a time when art photography was almost exclusively associated with black and white, and it is through this use of colour film that Herzog developed a sensitive and thoughtful visual compendium of parts of the city.

本次展览是Capture Photography Festival分展。
