Robert Young: Lacunarian Picturing
June 18 - September 3, 2011
The Art Gallery at Evergreen, in partnership with the Simon Fraser University Gallery, is pleased to present Lacunarian Picturing, a Robert Young retrospective exhibition. The Vancouver artists, born in 1938, has produced art for most of his adult life and continues to work from his home studio.
The Art Gallery at Evergreen will focus on a chronological exploration of Young's paintings while the SFU Gallery will focus on Young's depictions of architecture and interior spaces. On display will be works ranging from the 1970's, to his much-debated Tart, 1993 from the Vancouver Art Gallery Permanent Collection, to his most recent painting from this year titled, Lacunarian Picture, 2011.
The two Galleries have co-published a full-colour, 40-page catalogue that will accompany the exhibitions.
Lacunarian Picturing at the Art Gallery at Evergreen was made possible through the generous financial assistance from the Audain Foundation and the City of Coquitlam.
