Current Exhibition: Fraser Prospect |
June 5 - July 11
|
We resume the Fraser River Project exhibition series with a selection of large paintings from Richard Bond's series Fraser Prospect.
Bond created his series of paintings for Fraser Prospect from a location above the Fraser River just east of the Port Mann Bridge. He chose a site that had plenty of shrubbery, weeds, grass, trees, and Burke Mountain across the river. He set up his easel and painted directly on the large canvas on site. Over the span of three years, from 1987 through 1989, Bond returned to the site many times and made about fifty paintings to capture the changing shapes and colours of the landscape throughout the seasons.

COVID-19 Response
In accordance with recommendations we will begin small, with the gallery open only Friday and Saturday 12-5pm for the month of June. For July we hope to open Wednesday and Thursday as well. To avoid close contact between visitors there will be no opening reception or events at this time. A video of the artist's talk will be on view in the gallery. Please see full COVID-19 safety plan below.
