Synecdoche opens Friday, February 10 @ 7:30

Works by Steven Goring, Dan MacDougall and Xane St Phillip.
Curated by Wendy Welch

This exhibition showcases the work of three Victoria-based artists who are using the language of abstraction with a focus on repetition of geometric elements to address flat and sculptural pictorial planes on a painted surface. The title Synecdoche refers to the literary term where a part represents a whole. These paintings with their compositional all-over expansiveness, create a sense of extension beyond the confines of the painted perimeters.

Curator’s talk, Friday, February 10 at 8pm

Exhibition continues until March 12

Absolute Abstract closes on February 6
