Most exhibitions are held in order to feature an artist’s new work or showcase work done over the years -a retrospective.
On November 16, 2017, a new exhibition of my work will open at the Sidney and Gertrude Zack Gallery in Vancouver. This time the concept will be very different from the well travelled path. This time the main actor in the show is my new book, Light within the Shadows; a painter’s memoir. The art on the walls is conceived as an illustration of my journey as a writer, thus becoming a mini retrospective based on the book and the images included in it. Included will be some of the drawings and wood engravings from the 1950s, when I was still a student at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, never shown before. There will be works from the 1960s, when I lived in Illinois and Montreal and from my beginnings in Vancouver.
