Things are heating up at the Campbell River Art Gallery with two new exhibitions focusing on electricity and energy opening Jan. 21. In the Main Gallery, “We Love This Stuff So Much…”, an exhibition of oil paintings by Laurel Terlesky, centres around the theme of electricity consumption and the popular dialogue of “Going Green” in mainstream society. Terlesky’s use of bright colours and layers of spray-paint bring a decidedly pop-art twist to the show. A bike station with a light projection will be set up in the middle of the space allowing riders to pedal their way to revealing a message that relates to the art.
In the Discovery Gallery, “Hot Light”, a multi-media group exhibition by Cumberland and Vancouver artists, Megan Wilson, Brian Longhurst, and Blaine Campbell, explores the various stages in mankind’s quest to generate heat and light. Minimalist photographs of light bulbs and matches raise questions of dated technology and the beauty found in everyday objects. A looped video of the chandelier in Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre concentrates on its continuous fluctuation between on and off.
“We Love This Stuff So Much…” and “Hot Light” run from Jan. 21 to Feb. 26 at the Art Gallery.
Gallery hours are 12 to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. For more information, please contact the Gallery at 250-287-2261, via email at contact@crartgallery.ca
