ANN KIPLING: ARTIST TALK

Saturday, July 18, 12noon

Free


The recipient of the inaugural Audain Prize for Visual Art and the holder of an honourary degree from Emily Carr University, Ann Kipling is one of British Columbia’s most distinguished artists. Over the course of a career spanning more than four decades, the Okanagan-based artist has pursued a graphic vision that is as unique as it is compelling. Using dense networks of lines to record the local landscape, portraits of friends, and the passage of time, Kipling produces works that are neither a literal translation of visible appearances nor a formal abstraction based on external reality. Rather, these engaging images seem to function like meditations on the nature of graphic representation itself.

Using her own experience as a pioneer in the medium as a point of reference, Kipling's talk will reflect on drawing’s evolving status in the world of contemporary art. Kipling will also describe aspects of her own practice, which requires that each work be completed directly in front of the motif in a single session or sitting.
