Takao Tanabe, Nootka Afternoon, 1993, woodcut on paper, Collection of Vancouver Art Gallery
Art Activity: Printmaking
Students will have an opportunity to view over sixty prints spanning the career of renowned Japanese-Canadian artist Takao Tanabe and will learn about the artist’s prints, life, and art technique. Tanabe is among Canada’s most celebrated painters and printmakers, recognized for his landscapes that bridge the gap between abstraction and realism. This exhibition is organized by the Kelowna Art Gallery with guest Curator Ian Thom. Many works, on loan from the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Winnipeg Art Gallery collections, have never been exhibited until now.
Art Activity: Students will have an opportunity to create their own print inspired by Tanabe’s work.
