Fort Gallery is pleased to present The hour between, an exhibition by artist Katherine Pickering, whose shaped and folded acrylic paintings use found and recycled objects and the liquid qualities of paint to conjure the feeling of passing time and explore our experience of colour and sensory perception under night-time conditions.
Pickering’s studio in Kelowna is a place for both careful, prolonged looking and chaotic experimentation. The exhibition title references the transitory period between day and night when our visual perception fails. And her series of seven sculptures explore our experience of darkness when we look at it, the connection between looking at darkness and looking at abstract painting, and the value in these ways of seeing.
The hour between runs May 13-June 18 at the Fort Gallery. An artist talk will be held during the opening reception on Thursday, May 12th at 7pm.
