SUMMARY:Julian Lage - Vancouver International Jazz Festival

For tickets or festival schedules\, please visit coastaljazz.ca. \nSpeak To Me\, Julian Lage’s fourth album for Blue Note Records is full of virtuosic dispatches from an ongoing search for narrative beyond words. Intimate in tone and expansive in intention\, it roves a broad landscape of American music\, delighting in the deliberate crossing of wires between gospel\, rural blues\, California singer-songwriter sunshine\, and skronky jazz. \n“Possessed of an unflappable technical facility and seemingly boundless curiosity” (The New York Times)\, the always astonishing New York-based guitarist has collaborated with Gary Burton\, Nels Cline\, Béla Fleck\, John Zorn\, and scores of next-level creative players. His adventurous and deeply attuned trio features bassist Jorge Roeder and renowned Bad Plus drummer Dave King.

SUMMARY:Group Exhibition ALLUSIVE
DESCRIPTION:Lipont Gallery presents – Group Exhibition ALLUSIVE \nFeaturing Painting\, Drawing\, Ceramics\, Collages\, and Photography by Kay Austen\, Roy Hoh\, Jiabao Shen\, Xiangmei Su\, Wenli Yang\, June Yun\, and Monique Zhang.\nAs the summer season unfolds in Vancouver\, local artists channel nature’s wonders\, social environments\, and personal memories through their talents and innovative mediums in the exhibition\, ALLUSIVE. \nSquamish-based clay artist Kay Austen builds floral-shaped ceramic triptych wall pieces that embody the livelihood of local blooms. “The emotional impact of colour and the vagaries of different methods of firing and surface treatment all play a part toward the power of the finished piece.” \nRichmond-based emerging artist Jiabao Shen\, a School of the Art Institute of Chicago trained professional painter and recent Vancouver Film School’s graduate\, “explores themes such as ancient\, contemporary and futuristic worlds with a fervent focus on flowing landscapes. Her new series Surging Dragon – Departing Fire is inspired by an ancient Chinese text Chu Ci\, weaving together a tapestry of past and future\, reality and fantasy amongst ink.” \nRichmond-based artist Monique Zhang creates ethereal\, dreamlike paintings that explore childhood memories\, inviting viewers to slip backwards from the real world into primitive happiness and emotions. Her work encourages the audience to revisit the simplicity of childhood life. Using monotonic “pure” colors and plain charcoal drawings\, she reflects the innocence and purity inherent in the meaning of life. Monique’s art captures the essence of youthful wonder\, bringing a psychological value that offers solace and comfort. \nVancouver-based artist June Yun is a veteran oil painter of Vancouver’s misty yet poetic garden and pond scenes. She is an expert in finding\, visualizing and sublimating the highlights of the scenic neighbourhoods of Vancouver in her paintings. In the ALLUSIVE Exhibition\, she will present a series of “portraits” of the four seasons and a backlit translucent print on Mylar to express her awe in Vancouver’s spring season. \nWest Vancouver-based artist Xiangmei Su\, a TEDx speaker\, and University of British Columbia trained professional artist\, gains new knowledge from the “investigation” of nature\, regional culture\, creative media\, traditional crafts and maintains and manages her relationship with history\, tradition\, humanity\, and nature. Her Reflection Series (later renamed the Untitled Series) depicts fallen leaves on water and the reflections of foliage\, offering an alternative perspective on Vancouver’s beauty and its captivating spell on its residents. \nVancouver and Richmond-based artist duo Wenli Yang and Roy Hoh explore the intricate interplay relationship between humans\, society and nature through various mediums—painting\, installation\, lens-based work\, collage\, etc. Drawing inspiration from Vancouver’s storied neighbourhoods\, the ubiquitous real estate developments\, and the region’s verdant flora\, Yang and Hoh’s art captures the evolving narrative of the city. \nThe exhibition opens on Thursday July 4th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Lipont Gallery\, 4211 No. 3 Road Richmond\, BC.\nThe exhibition will be on view from July 4th to 25th Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm with extended hours to 8pm on Tuesdays. Admission is free.\nPlease visit https://www.lipontgallery.ca/ for details. \nExhibition:\nDates: July 4 – 25\, 2024\nAddress: Lipont Gallery\, 4211 No. 3 Road\, Richmond\, B.C.\, V6X 2C3\nHours: Mon-Fri 10 AM to 5 PM\, Tuesdays until 8 PM \nFree admission.\nFree reserved parking is on the south and north sides of the building.\nTransit: Canada Line Aberdeen Station
