<p><span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Helvetica">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.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Helvetica">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

<div class="">
<p><span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Helvetica">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.
