The Abbotsford Arts Council announces its next show at the Kariton Art Gallery: “Momentum,” showcasing artwork by students graduating from the University of the Fraser Valley in 2013 with a diploma in visual arts. The exhibition highlights the different disciplines used by students during the completion of the two-year diploma. Seven artists will be featured in the exhibition, including:
Jenni Boldt, presenting a collection of acrylic paintings on canvas titled “An Intimate Sorrow,” expressing a personal experience of grief after a significant loss;
Kinsey Knights, showing sculpture pieces that are everyday objects with a new twisted fate;
Xiao Liu, exhibiting photographs that portray people rejected by society;
Ashleigh Miller, whose work focuses on portraiture and works with a variety of painting materials and sizes;
Jeff Rasmussen, an interdisciplinary artist showing “Visions of the Future,” a collection of work that incorporates sculpture, video and digital ink media;
Carolin deChamplain, revealing the process of printmaking by showing the printing plate along with the mirrored print it produces; and
Laurie Cazander, making use of the gallery walls with her installation project.
