Wanda Lock and
Bryan Ryley
November 2008 to May 28, 2009
The first installation of work on the
Kelowna Art Gallery's brand new art wall at the airport was commissioned
from two local artists, Wanda Lock and Bryan Ryley. Lock included two
large vertically oriented scroll-like works on paper, that incorporated
her hallmark use of idiosyncratic imagery with her own text elements.
Ryley installed two large canvases from his recent Four Corners series
of works. While the artists share a love for and vital use of colour,
their sensibilities are otherwise quite different, and the simultaneous
viewing of their work made for the consideration of interesting points of
contrast.
