Lake Country Art Gallery’s first exhibition of 2016 is titled ‘Keep- ing it
Real’ with lower mainland artists Bree Apperley and Patrick Lundeen. This
exhibition will feature artwork using photography, painting, mixed media
and sculpture.

Bree Apperely and Patrick Lundeen are attracted to objects and images not
for their perceived value or because of where they rank in the hierarchy of
valuable objects or images. Objects to them hold none of the hierarchies
that humans place on them - a piece of tinfoil is just as interesting as a
24 carat earring would be. These two artists are guided by the visual
ecstasy and emo- tional presence they encounter in their surroundings, and
their unique versions of what constitutes "real". They respond to

ready-made material and imagery in a manner that runs amok across any kind
of ideas of tasteful aesthetics or outright kitsch - any and all perceived
rules of ‘this should be like that’ to ‘that should be like this’ are fair
game and rich fodder for new compositions and combinations that purposely
ask us to reconsider our own value we place on certain kinds of images or
ob- jects. While Apperley’s photos, sculptures and wall works have a
central sense of controlled complexity and subtlety, Patrick Lundeen’s
paintings, sculptures and installations are chaotic, visceral and loud.
