Bau-Xi Vancouver proudly presents The Northern Coast: The Second Time Around, the highly anticipated new solo exhibition from established, award-winning Canadian painter David T. Alexander. After moving back to the West Coast of Canada from the interior of BC after many years, Alexander sees it with fresh eyes, presenting rich and painterly additions to his wet and dry series in a lively, heightened colour palette. This solo exhibition marks Alexander's first in four years in Vancouver.

The April 12 opening reception of The Northern Coast: The Second Time Around will feature an artist talk beginning at 2:15pm.

Artist statement:

Moving back to British Columbia makes me very aware that I have been issued a learner’s license for what I thought I knew about what this ocean and land really are. The density of the land and the richer colours are different in my mind now. It has also required me to make frequent trips up the coastline over the last four years to take it all in. This time, I’m not working in a large tugboat but concentrating on how I am living here once again, the second time around: I am living on the edge of land, facing the vast expanse of change and familiar sameness on the coast.

- David T. Alexander, 2025
