Ian Tan Gallery presents John Ogilvy, Nov 3–29

Ian Tan Gallery on South Granville presents an exhibition of new works by Artist John Ogilvy from November 3rd to 29th, 2012.

In the artist’s own words:
“My art deals with landscape and our civilization’s impact on it. In my paintings I like to include things that I know exist in the landscape, which usually are considered unsightly in a work of art. When looking at a scene, one tends to overlook these objects. By bringing attention to them in my work, I offer the viewer, in some ways, a more realistic view of a typical scene.”

Opening Reception:
Saturday, November 3, 2012
2-4pm
Artist in attendance

“The paintings are often of no specific place, but rather are synthesized from many experiences and memories. I travel a fair amount, often internationally, accumulating these ideas before painting them in my studio on Gabriola Island, BC Canada or in Lima, Peru. I do not foresee any sudden thematic changes in my work, but rather a continuation of the artistic progression I’ve been making for more than twenty years.”
