Art fans, take note: two new exhibitions are now on display at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.
Beyond the Words features portraits of writers by the late Carl Kohler (1919-2006), a Neo-Modernist/Abstract Swedish artist. Subjects including Franz Kafka, Anaïs Nin, Henry Miller, Charles Bukowski, Günter Grass and others are featured in mediums such as oil painting, woodblock prints and drawings.
Meanwhile, the Generation One exhibition features work from dynamic local artists, including Raymond Chow, Ron Sombilon, Ray Shum, Rubina Rajan and others. This show coincides with explorASIAN, the annual Vancouver Asian Heritage Festival.
Beyond the Words runs until August 31, and Generation One runs until May 31. Both shows appear in the Learning Centre Gallery, located on the second floor of the Learning Centre, adjacent to the circulation desk.
