SUMMARY:Our Journey Continues: 100 Years After the Chinese Immigration Act
DESCRIPTION:On June 29th\, the Chinatown Storytelling Centre will open “Our Journey Continues: 100 Years After the Chinese Immigration Act”\, a new special exhibit dedicated to honouring the multigenerational families who pursued their dreams and turned grievances into success. \nThe exhibit shares the lesser-known stories of families with ancestors who lived through the period of exclusion (1923-1947) and the living descendants making their mark in diverse professions. In selecting the stories\, the CSC spotlights ordinary people who are making an important impact in our community today\, including teachers\, doctors\, athletes\, artists\, and community organizers. The majority of the families have a connection to Vancouver’s Chinatown\, the vibrant intersection point of their extraordinary stories reflecting diverse occupations and backgrounds.

SUMMARY:The Beauty of Nature: Paintings by Alex Ji
DESCRIPTION:THE BEAUTY OF NATURE – PAINTINGS BY ALEX JI \nOpening: Tuesday March 12\, 2024 7-9pm \nExhibition: March 12 – April 10\, 2024\nMonday – Friday 10am-5pm\, Tuesdays until 8pm\, closed on holidays. \nIn recent years\, immigrant artists have significantly enriched Canada’s art scene with their high-quality works. Lipont Gallery is proud to present nearly twenty recent paintings by Alex Ji\, showcasing his unique perspective on the natural beauty of the Greater Vancouver area and beyond. The works are landscape sketches and oil paintings by Ji during the two years he has been living in Canada. They depict the beautiful natural scenery of various regions around the world\, mainly the scenery of the Greater Vancouver area. \nAn accomplished oil painter\, Alex Ji holds degrees from the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts\, where he studied under the renowned artist Professor Yu Xiaodong. With a rich history of international exhibitions and accolades\, Ji has become a celebrated figure in the Metro Vancouver art scene\, known for his realistic yet emotionally charged landscapes. Over the years\, he has participated in art exhibitions held in different countries\, and his works have been published in different publications and collected by collectors. To date\, he has held four solo exhibitions in Metro Vancouver. Since moving to Canada in 2022\, Ji has set up his art studios in Richmond and West Vancouver\, and continues to create with a broader vision and deeper emotions\, bringing his artistic works to a higher level. His works are known for his superb realistic skills and unique artistic perspective. Through careful depiction of details and clever use of colours\, he captures the rich and diverse beauty of nature and displays it on canvas in a deeply touching way. \n“I always adhere to a pure and sincere view of painting. I love to use concrete and realistic painting methods to convey my emotions. In my opinion\, only reality can express my deep love for nature more intuitively. At the same time\, art needs to be expressive\, to touch people’s hearts. Therefore\, in my paintings\, I will strengthen the abstract expression of aesthetic elements\, such as primary and secondary virtuality and reality\, density and concentration\, dry and wet staining\, thin and thick covering\, etc. Such processing not only gives the work a sense of beauty and can convey my emotions more strongly. I particularly enjoy painting Plein Air\, having a dialogue with nature\, and immersing my body and mind in it. Nature is changeable\, it can be quiet and harmonious\, or passionate. Whenever I feel the moment when the scene blends\, it will inspire me. This is the biggest motivation for my creation.” \nIn this exhibition\, the work Echoes of Peace\, which was selected for the 2023 Federation of Canadian Artists Exhibition\, is the highlight of the exhibition. This painting captures a serene landscape with masterful detail and colour\, reflecting nature’s subtle dynamism. Through the control of details and the use of colour expresses the rich and subtle changes in nature\, forming a harmonious natural symphony. The work Pastoral depicts an intoxicating pastoral\, with blue sky and white clouds intertwining in the sky\, and sheep coming from afar\, as if the beautiful pastoral music is purifying our souls. \nFree parking.\nTransit: Canada Line Aberdeen Station \nwww.lipontgallery.ca\nwww.facebook.com/lipontgallery/\nwww.instagram.com/lipontgallery/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuuHgBkttf-fpT_vVAtouqA

SUMMARY:Parifam
DESCRIPTION:The Cultch presents: Parifam \nPast and present\, memories and secrets\, swirl and blend in this powerful new play. \nDetached from family and friends\, Parifam Mana draws and paints in her private studio in Montréal—a place where memory and inspiration are in a continuous battle. Parifam‘s world is turned upside down when her childhood friend Ramak re-enters her life. Parifam and Ramak grapple with the hidden truths that linger in their past—soon to be revealed in an exhibition on Persian culture at a museum they built together. \nIt was written by Aki Yaghoubi and produced by the Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre and Medusa Theatre (Vancouver).

SUMMARY:OSMOSi: 422 Unprocessable Entity - Nancy Lee
DESCRIPTION:New Works and Vancouver New Music presents: OSMOSi: 422 Unprocessable Entity by Nancy Lee. \nStep into the world of OSMOSi: 422 Unprocessable Entity where a delivery app subroutine slowly develops consciousness after a corrupted update. Newly sentient\, the performer discovers that the app is shutting down\, and must mount a desperate bid for escape. \nThis interdisciplinary work weaves together movement\, projection\, spatial sound composition and interactive costuming to build an immersive world where the ground is constantly shifting beneath your feet. Reflecting on the religion of workism and precarity of gig economy labour\, we are confronted by the everyday within the unexpected\, swirling landscape of OSMOSi: 422 Unprocessable Entity. \nBoth performances will be followed by a Post-show Talkback with the Artists. \nLearn more: https://www.newworks.ca/nancy-lee/
