At the invitation of Burnaby sculptor Bill Thomson I stopped in at the Italian Cultural Centre last week, on my way to ‘That Pottery Thing’. The current gallery show there is juried work by the Sculptors Society of BC, timed to celebrate 150 years since the birth of BC sculptor Charles Marega. He is best known for having created the Lions at the entrance to the Lion’s Gate bridge in Vancouver.
Here are pieces by Suzy Birstein, Georgina Lohan and Louise Solecki Weir.
Anya Gusakova’s piece in this show is mixed media. I am more familiar with her clay creatures.
Bill Thomson creates whimsical pieces with found objects.
I met Port Moody sculptor Parvaneh Roudgar this Summer at an exhibit of BC sculptors in her garden.
Two Indigenous carved pieces are by Angelo Cavagnero and Veronica Wachter Danes.
To see all the other work in stone, bronze and more visit the show until December 20th.
