March 3 to May 3, 2007 6 paintings from Bruce Stewart SALAD DAYS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA |
|
These six paintings are selections from the exhibition Bruce Stewart: Salad Days in British Columbia, which was held at the Simon Fraser University Gallery, Burnaby campus, from January 6 to March 3, 2007. Bruce Stewart worked in the medical illustration department at the University of British Columbia for many years, eventually becoming Department Head. Since the early 1970s, he has also been creating idiosyncratic paintings that are populated with his family members, friends and the occasional famous British Columbian. Stewart has recorded key landmarks in BC's psycho-geographical history, from the Rockies to Long Beach, plumbing the depths of who we were as a society in the post-war era, while reinterpreting the look of those now mythic, supposedly more innocent times. |
