Visual Arts offers a Paradox

This is the first exhibition by the current permanent teaching faculty of UVic's Department of Visual Arts in nearly 35 years. Paradox offers recent work by Daniel Laskarin, Sandra Meigs, Robert Youds, Vikky Alexander, Lynda Gammon, Jennifer Stillwell and Paul Walde. All are mid-career and senior artists with national and international careers, and each will reflect on the paradox implicit in our experience of art. Noting their work embodies “current discourses in material and visual culture,” Visual Arts chair Daniel Laskarin says the pieces on view are “profoundly engaged with experiential communication in current practices.”

UVic's art collection director Mary Jo Hughes says, "Paradox aims to bring wider understanding to the particular strengths of this nationally acclaimed academic program.”

Paradox runs October 31 to January 12 at the UVic art gallery, Legacy Downtown.
