Jim Breukelman: Altered States

JIM BREUKELMAN: ALTERED STATES is the slender catalogue to the West Vancouver Art Museum exhibition (to May 11). Both examine four series of photographs by this accomplished artist, ranging from black-and-white images shot in an old-fashioned diner in Pawtucket, Rhode Island in the 1960s to colour prints of thriving plant life taken in local gardens, conservatories and arboreta in the 2000s. Accompanied by Breukelman’s statements, they all reveal his keen eye and philosophical mind.
