Cori Creed | The Story and The Telling

Cori Creed | The Story and The Telling
June 8-22, 2024
3045 Granville Street, Vancouver
Opening Reception Saturday, June 8, 2-4pm

Bau-Xi Vancouver proudly presents a new solo exhibition by established BC landscape painter Cori Creed. In her signature energetic style, the artist continues to pay tribute to the untamed beauty of the landscape of British Columbia, capturing its richness and diversity. Creed aims to encapsulate the literal and metaphorical non-linear journey of traversing both these landscapes and life. 


Artist's Statement:

This body of work, more than any, has made it evident just how looping the path can be. Retracing and pushing out in different directions, moving forward and then retreating - sometimes a jubilant exploration and sometimes a battle. My work continues to be a translation of an experience, in this case of our landscape - forests, mountains and coastlines. A balance between representation and mark making, the story and the telling. I have always considered how our own filters show us each a unique perspective of the world, but while painting this show I have also been very aware of how much outside events and forces impact and alter our own outpourings. The wind fills and empties our sails and we find a way to keep moving. With many of these pieces I found it necessary to ease off my search for more abstraction, and instead of chasing the essential forms, pick up my smaller brushes and pull details out of the washes and staining in the underpainting. Questing for the mediation found in the memories made while moving through our ancient places.
