Take Your Time at the SFU Gallery
The SFU Gallery’s new Take Your Time exhibit showcases the artwork of Rebecca Brewer, Ron den Daas, Colleen Heslin, Damian Moppett, Heather Passmore, Gary Pearson, Ben Reeves and Neil Wedman.
Slow down and chill out. Sit back and take a deep breath. Make a painting about slowing, chilling and laying back. That’s what these eight artists have done – creating work that is lost in time somewhere between the past and the present, between leisure and culture and, in one case, very much between death and life.
The SFU Gallery will feature these models of contemplative living from now until December 12th at its main campus on scenic Burnaby Mountain.
Taken as a whole, this exhibition presents a partial theory of leisure: Ron den Daas and Rebecca Brewer are at the beach; Heather Passmore’s people have had too much of life; Colleen Heslin’s characters are reading J.D. Salinger, and Damian Moppett’s working on his toe nails; Neil Wedman’s people are taking time for a dance, Ben Reeves’ for a smoke, and Gary Pearson’s for a latte or a glass of wine.
