"Over the past forty-years, Wallace has made paintings and photographs, imbued with narrative tension, which are in dialogue with cinema, performance art and feminism. This exhibition, Wallace’s first in California, presents work from several series that explore gender conflict and the metaphysical clash between figurative photography and abstract painting."

The cavernous Catriona Jefferies gallery, tucked away in East Vancouver, is currently hosting Ian Wallace's latest show, The Construction Site. While the subject itself isn't my favourite focal point, it is intriguing to see how Wallace explores 'works in progress' in relation to his own artwork and the constant evolution of the modern landscape. Ian is one of Vancouver's most recognized artists and one of my personal favourites – from any city – so I would recommend stopping by before the end of the month.
