Exhibitions Opening at the Campbell River Art Gallery
July 4th from 7-9pm
The Campbell River Art Gallery invites you to the opening of two new
exhibitions, Red & White -- Chapter 2 by George Littlechild and The Doll
Affect by Meinsje Vlaming on Friday July 4th from 7-9pm.
In the Main Gallery:
Red and White -- Chapter 2
George Littlechild
July 4 -- August 8, 2008
George Littlechild challenges us to understand the complexity, past and
present, experienced by people of mixed Caucasian and First Nations
ancestry. His images, based upon his own roots and well-known
personalities like Canada's aboriginal poet Pauline Johnson, are a blend
of digitally manipulated photographs and paintings. His subjects are
placed in historical contexts that portray racial interaction, and the
differences and similarities of the human condition.
George Littlechild is one of Canada's foremost artists, descended from
Plains Cree and Irish/Scottish lineages. He was raised in Edmonton but
now lives in Comox, where he continues his practice and teaches Fine
Arts classes for ECIAD at North Island College. He has 26 solo
exhibitions to his credit, in Canada, Japan and Germany. He has
illustrated and/or authored seven books and received awards as a mentor
and role model, including VADA and Canada Council.
In the Discovery Gallery:
The Doll Affect
Meinsje Vlaming
July 4 -- September 19, 2008
Dolls are links to our past -- objects of play, vehicles for
self-expression and solace in moments of sadness or torment. Meinsje
Vlaming draws upon this powerful cross-cultural icon to reflect
experiences, memories and emotions that are at once personal and
universal. The detailed features of Meinsje's paper clay dolls suggest
reality while their skewed proportions evoke new meaning, in a
netherworld between the tangible and the emotive.
Cortes Island artist Meinsje Vlaming was raised in the Netherlands. She
is a self-taught artist who works primarily in figurative sculpture.
Meinsje is a five-time award winner in the annual Member's Exhibition
hosted by the CR Art Gallery and CR Arts Council. She has also exhibited
her dolls, paintings and costume designs regionally, in Vancouver and
Vlissingen, Ne.
