An older sculpture of mine but I’m feeling sentimental...

I make meaning out of materials with the hope to connect, so I like to wear my shirt ‘Be Brave’. I think being brave is required for an artist to put everything out there and to risk rejection.

Hope you can make my opening this Thursday the 18th at Parker Projects Gallery in Vancouver 5-7pm. It’s a group exhibition, I’m exhibiting with several talented painters and a printmaker.

I made this sculpture mounted from the ceiling, I’m happy with it although what you don’t see is the many, many hours of making and breaking a form to get the exact shape I’m looking for. I call this ‘practice’ and I believe it’s as important in visual art as in music.

Upcoming Group Exhibition

February 20, 2017

I’m taking part in a group exhibition at a prominent new gallery that is just opening in Vancouver called Elan Fine Art.

I’ll have one, possibly two pieces in the show.

It should be an interesting exhibition with artists work such as Cathie Falk, Jeff Koons, Jeff Wall, Anish Kapoor, Douglas Copland, William de kooning, Ray Mead etc. and the gallery space is absolutely beautiful. I’d love to see you there if you can make it.

The opening is on Saturday Feb 25th from 1-5pm

258 East 1st Ave Unit 4 (second Floor),Vancouver.

Warmly,Tanis
