a pivotal period early in the career of this acclaimed British Columbia artist. Featuring ink, gouache, and mixed media drawings, along with a selection of intaglio prints, the show recognizes the lasting importance of time Kipling spent living on the North
Shore in the 1960s, first in Lynn Valley and then in Sunshine Falls. There and then she became herself in art, fully articulating her commitment to the medium of drawing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#4D4D4D"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#4D4D4D">In this commitment, Kipling was and remains a rarity. Drawing for her is not a study for some other work, but a complete and compelling art
form in itself. The exhibition traces the development of Kipling’s highly distinctive art as she shifted from her earlier expressionistic mark-making to a more precise and yet inquisitive line. For her, the drawing process was not about consciously developing
a style but about visual exploration and learning to see through her own eyes rather than through the conventions of picture making.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#4D4D4D"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#4D4D4D">Subjects undertaken from her Lynn Valley location include friends, colleagues, a menagerie of birds and dogs, and the challenging North Shore
landscape. In Sunshine Falls, she again drew her subjects from her immediate environment: plants, animals, people, and rocky shorelines. An important aspect of Kipling’s practice at this time was her investigation of the effects she could achieve through intaglio
printing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#4D4D4D"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#4D4D4D">Ann Kipling was born in Victoria and lives in Falkland, a small community in the British Columbia interior. She has long been acclaimed for
her total dedication to the medium of drawing, and her work has appeared in countless solo and group exhibitions. Kipling is the winner of numerous awards and honours, and in 2004 was the first recipient of the Audain Prize for Lifetime Achievement. Her art
is held in public and private collections across Canada and abroad.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
