BRUCE PASHAK: ARTIST TALK

Wednesday July 29, 7 p.m.

Free


Vancouver artist Bruce Pashak creates images that simultaneously compel us with their beauty while causing us to question some of the basic assumptions that underpin both contemporary and traditional aesthetics. Working with a range of media, Pashak often combines an illusionary graphic technique centred on the human figure with less naturalistic modes of expression that ultimately undermine any true illusionism. Many of his images of men and women also invite social and political readings that are critical of the status quo.

Pashak's talk will focus on the drawing process as it pertains to his artistic practice, giving viewers an opportunity to gain more insight into the meaning of these elebarote mixed media images. Pashak will also discuss drawing from a philosophical perspective, claiming it as a viable genre unto itself. He will argue that drawing can be both a means of artistic expression as well as an effective voice that fosters the communication of relevant social criticism and art theory.
