Through Her Eyes: Works From Our Permanent Collection

Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna, BC - To Nov 17

by Robin Laurance

The landscape subject has long compelled Canadian artists, many inspired by the ways it can speak to a culture’s evolving relationship with the natural world. This exhibition focuses on 14 women artists represented in the KAG collection, including Ann Kipling, Daphne Odjig and Erin Shirre . The works date from the 1930s to the present and range from broad vistas to closely observed details, allowing viewers to consider whether women bring “particular perspectives or sensibilities” to the landscape.
