Founded in 1984, the Diane Farris Gallery has developed into an internationally recognized showcase for contemporary Canadian and international art. We are especially noted for finding and establishing new talent.

The gallery serves the corporate and private collecting sector. We endeavour to draw in and include those who are new to the contemporary art scene, as well as knowledgeable collectors.

The Gallery, fronted by its spacious Sculpture Courtyard, is located in the heart of Vancouver's "South Granville Gallery Row".

Pushing the Edge
9/2/2010 - 10/2/2010

Opening Reception: Thursday September 9, 6 – 8 pm

Featuring works by Fiona Ackerman, Nick Lepard and Wil Murray
Pushing the Edge explores how these emerging artists are pushing the limits of paint. Ackerman uses thin layers of paint to build lyrical abstracts with organic drips and flows, structured motifs and painterly strokes. Nick Lepard, a 2008 ECUAD graduate, pushes and splashes oils across his canvases to form larger-than-life portraits approaching the boarder of representation and abstraction. Merging traditionally flat painting surfaces with sculptural elements, Murray pours and collages acrylic paint in three dimensional works that reveal their construction. Exposed supports and moulded forms jut from the confines of the frame.
