ART MAY FIND A NEW HOME IN MOUNT PLEASANT
Winsor Gallery has partnered up with Vanglo Sustainable Construction Group to help stage a new home in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood. It is a house that is truly like nothing that the neighbourhood has ever seen. The architect of the project is Oliver Lang, and the interior was custom designed by Gaile Guevara Interior Design and Creative.
Designed to strike a fine balance between simple elegance and engaging playfulness. - Oliver Lang, Architect
This partnership involves the gallery collaboratively curating with Vanglo and Gaile Guevara producing a series of works suitable for the dynamic rooms within the house. The result an amazing space, one that once you arrive, you will never want to leave... yes it is just that stunning!
Below are the curated list of works we have selected and installed. To see some amazing images of the interior of the house click here, and if you are out for a walk in the neighbourhood, stroll past the home on 17th.
FIONA ACKERMAN
 |
| Fiona Ackerman, Generation, 2011 |
BILL ANDERSON
 |
| Bill Andeson, Flower Shop, 2011 |
The
force behind creating Bill Anderson's images was born out of a desire to
harmonize elements often avoided in the search for a perfect, or untroubled
brand of beauty, and to explore examples of the individual's interaction with
the environment. What we're capable of for the sake of profit and industrial
progress is well known to the environment, but what motivates the timeless
habit of leaving our, often intimate, and primitively creative marks behind on
any surface conducive to the task?
CHAD DURNFORD
 |
| Chad Durnford, Starfold, 2012 |
Chad
Durnford’s colourful and carefully constructed paintings create a blend of
beauty, symmetry, expression and perspective. His paintings act as meditations
on structure, opening up possibilities of looking at space. Durnford assembles
modulations of basic shapes and space, idealizing the complexity and subtleness
of form and tonality. Through his interpretations of space he translates an
abstract language of structure that can be approached formally as a model or as
expression.
BRADLEY HARMS
 |
| Bradley Harms, Spawn of Scrambler, 2013 |
For the
past number of years, Bradley Harms has taken a leading role in a new and
forward-looking wave of Canadian abstraction, building upon traditions within
the medium, while creating work that both reflects and critiques contemporary
social and technological developments. Harms' work addresses the manner in
which we perceive painting, manipulating the ideas of surface, form, and our
notion of perfection.
Bradley Harms, Three Purros, 2013
BRIAN HOWELL

| Brian Howell, Alley Behind 39 East Hastings (Found), 2011 |
 |
| Brian Howell, 99 Shooting Stars, 2013 |
Brian
Howell’s contemporary photographic work examines vernacular expressions of
shifting societal and personal values. Howell’s subjects are drawn from fringe,
or marginalized communities; people and places resonant with allegorical
meanings for an age that seems to Howell both broken and blinded. Howell’s
photographic series build on the truth-telling mantra of an earlier era of
documentary photojournalists though are given structure and further meaning by
a more rigorous contemporary conceptual framework.
TRIG SINGER
 |
| Trig Singer, The Red Bush, 2014 |
Trig
Singer has worked in the motion picture industry as a camera operator on major
pictures under some of the world’s most acclaimed cinematographers and
directors. Trig has returned to photography as a counterpoint to a career in
film. Photography is a way of expressing what is in his heart, as well as a way
to fulfill his need to create something beautiful.
MARTHA VARCOE STURDY
Martha Varcoe Sturdy work explores minimalist aesthetics, as a way of replicating the ephemeral experience of the untouched outdoors. By continuously simplifying and maintaining a dominant scale, for Varcoe Sturdy, her work “is not for thinking about a specific environment, it’s about being witness to the emotive impact of nature’s balanced composition”
