Main Level
3045 Granville Street, Vancouver
Opening Reception: Saturday April 6, 2-4pm
Bau-Xi Vancouver proudly presents Ballet of the Pickup Trucks, the new solo exhibition by Ontario-based artist Casey McGlynn. As he approaches thirty years of exhibiting in galleries and museums, McGlynn returns to the horse, one of his earliest metaphors of the self. Grazing and at rest, the horses appear in herds and as individual silhouettes, their interiors filled with a cacophony of symbols and colour that bristle with a fervent, raw energy.
Artist statement:
Ballet of the pickup trucks is about becoming a northerner and searching for beauty and meaning in the north. it’s become about finding that beauty and meaning in the most unlikely of places up here
-Casey McGlynn, 2024
