OUT OF CONTROL is an engaging and immersive exhibition that’s showcasing a wild variety of works by local artists—and it’s giving Vancouverites a sneak peek at what awaits at this year’s upcoming Eastside Culture Crawl.
On view to November 25, the exhibition acts as a homage to all things avant-garde and out-of-the-box, showcasing 80 versatile artists in a salon-style curation at the Pendulum Gallery, The Cultch, Alternative Creation Gallery, and Strange Fellows Gallery.
The four galleries included in the preview exhibit have varied opening hours and dates. All art included was chosen by well-known Vancouver-based artists Paul de Guzman, Eri Ishii, and Hugh Kearney.
The downtown’s Pendulum Gallery will display David Robinson, Tatjana Mirkov-Popovicki, Concealed Studio, and many more. Robinson’s work grandly captures the human silhouette in gestural action, his striking contemporary sculptures employing materials from bronze to gold.
Alternative Creations Gallery’s show includes works by Honeytta Eyvany, Hope Forstenzer, and Karen Woodman, to name a few. Forstenzer, a glassworks artist, creates intricate dreamscape pieces using a variety of colours and shapes.
The Cultch features art by Jorma Kujala, Liang Wang, Meg Shaw, and many more. Kujala, an interdisciplinary artist known for his use of an array of artistic methods will showcase his versatility through pieces such as Dissonance, intricately layered mixed media on panel.
Strange Fellows Gallery will include many different artists, such as Michelle Mathias, Natalie Morissette, and Sherri Rogers. Rogers blends her passions for both painting and animation into eye-catching, pop-culture-savvy canvases featuring fun feminist heroines.
Overall, the works on view across town vary from paintings, drawings, photography, printmaking, sculpture, video, and other forms of media—all a taste of the offerings from more than 450 artists at the 2023 Eastside Culture Crawl open-studio event, running November 16 to 19.
