Anne Sargent Pop Up Show

Third Floor Gallery (Pop-Up Show)
June 12th-19th, 11am-6pm
167 Water St, 3rd Floor

Third Gallery will host a pop up show, from June 12th-19th, to display artworks by Anne Sargent. This show gives an overview of five years of work by the Vancouver visual artist. It encompasses a time when the artist was defining and experimenting with her visual vocabulary. Working with the figure, Sargent tries to convey the dichotomy between the individual and the “many”. Figures are repeated, multiples yet different. Often placed on a rich black background these figures convey a quiet solitude and stillness. Her drawings continue this theme, conveying a gentleness and empathy.

Visit here to see Anne Sargent’s art.
