A recent visit to Jamie Evrard's Vancouver studio had us confronting a riot of roses and peonies! These loose, gestural works represent a productive summer spent examining the form of particular blooms that continue to mesmerize the artist.

Looking forward to seeing this lush and spontaneous painting in the gallery upon completion
Watching Barbara Cole on set is like being at the theatre. We spent the morning with the artist, and got to see how she captures moments from her incredible productions and translates them into sublime images.
Cole's studio assistants set up the temporary studio next to the pool where the photography shoot will take place.
One of Barbara Cole's vision boards, where she collages together sources of inspiration.
Prior to the shoot, each model has a custom wig sewn to her hair.
Costumes ready for the next model.

*Dualities: A Bridge Between Two Worlds opens Saturday, July 8th at Bau-Xi Vancouver.
Vancouver painter Sheri Bakes was recently profiled in Canadian Art on her work in relationship to living with aphantasia, a condition that eliminates one's ability to mentally visualize imagery. In the intimate interview, Sheri speaks candidly about how her painting practice and style was dramatically altered by an inability to access the 'mind's eye.' Undeterred, Sheri learned to paint again from scratch. Sheri’s resilience and determination led to an unforeseen relationship to the process of painting that creates hope and vitality within her canvases.

David has often said some of his most favoured paint brushes are the ones that are the most worn and paint encrusted ones because they make the most original and interesting marks on the canvas.
The studio floor wears the patina of countless hours spent painting here.
The final selection for the show has been made late in the day after much deliberation
Bau-Xi is thrilled to announce the latest addition to the gallery stable: Toronto painter Mel Gausden.
Mel Gausden explores themes of personal and cultural identity through traditions of self-portraiture and landscape painting. Her interests lie in combining visual markers and signifiers of nostalgia and Canadiana with painterly gesture, mark-making and bold highlights. The artist applies neon silhouettes evocative of “instagram-esque” colour filters to highlight the inherent distortion of our own personal narratives. In the end, these visual narratives end up as hybrids, part-reality and part-dreamscape.
Mel Gausden earned her Bachelor’s of Arts at the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2009. She continues to live and work out of her studio in Toronto.
