Vector, a Latin word meaning \u2018carrier \u2019, is a fitting title for Andre Petterson\u2019s latest exhibition. Full of movement-inspired imagery, including his well-known dancers, birds, and elegant horses, Petterson\u2019s mixed media pieces capture the essence of objects bursting with energy and movement caught in a split-second of time.<\/p>\n

Petterson explains that his recent trips to Thailand, India, and Singapore were incredibly influential in regards to this body of work, yet singles out his time in Burma as the most inspirational. Buddhist monks\u2019 red robes, broken bicycles, and clocks appear in his newest pieces, and reflect the ar tist\u2019s experience of witnessing this place where, for him, it was as if \u201ctime stood still.\u201d<\/p>\n

Signature imagery from Petterson\u2019s oeuvre will re-appear in this exhibition, albeit approached with new eyes af ter his travels. This includes his sewing machines, dancers, and the ever present typewriter \u2013 the latter stationary object given a life of its own with gestural marks and exploding ribbons of colour. These var ying subjects together become representations of past and present ; stillness and movement ; push and pull \u2013 themes that continue to emerge throughout Andre Petterson\u2019s impressive career.<\/p>\n

Petterson<\/strong> has exhibited in both private and public galleries in Canada and the United States. He is the recipient of The National Film Board of Canada Award, and has work featured in numerous private and public collections including Canada Council Ar t Bank, Canadian Airlines, Vancouver General Hospital, and Laxton & Company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
