The Burnaby Art Gallery is exhibiting works spanning more than 40 years by West Coast artist Gary Lee-Nova.
Oblique Trajectories features large-scale paintings accompanied by sculpture, lithographic prints based on paper collages, silkscreen prints, and digital collage.
“The exhibition allows a glimpse of Lee-Nova’s extensive research of various systems,” BAG curator Jennifer Cane says in a statement. “He has been looking at patterns within colour, measurement and language for more than 50 years. There are important comments on the double-edged swords we are presented with through technologies, within these works. The works speak well within this particular period of time.”

The Richmond Art Gallery has been operation since 1980, evolving from a community art space to a well regarded institution. To celebrate its 40th year, the gallery has mounted an exhibit from its permanent collection, reflecting in part its journey.
The show features early works by established B.C. artists like Wayne Ngan, Susan Point, and Gu Xiong. Also on display are prints by Anna Wong from her series Great Wall, which pays homage to the landscapes of China, where the parents of the Canadian printmaker were born.
