Art @ KCT is a professional art exhibition within the lobby of the Kelowna Community Theatre presenting the work of visual artists from the Central Okanagan featuring accessible, thought-provoking visual art in two exhibition spaces,\u00a0the Rise\u00a0and\u00a0the Cube.<\/p>\n
Most recently this exhibition features the work of two UBC Okanagan BFA alumni; Patty Leinemann and Arianne Tubman.<\/p>\n
In the\u00a0Rise<\/b>\u00a0exhibition space, Arianne Tubman\u2019s\u00a0Kindred\u00a0<\/i>takes inspiration from archival photographs of her grandmother. By replicating the colours,\u00a0composition, and character of these portraits, Tubman examines generational change and her relationship with place. Her modern portraits are\u00a0separated from their predecessors by nearly 60 years and thousands of kilometres. The original images showcase her grandmother\u2019s life in\u00a0Saskatchewan and the trips she took in her 20\u2019s. In contrast, Tubman\u2019s portraits reflect her life at that age, living in Kelowna.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n In the\u00a0Cube<\/b>\u00a0exhibition space, Patty Leinemann presents\u00a0The Conversation<\/i>, an arrangement of collage and asemic writings exploring the convergence of\u00a0performance, memory and place. Referencing primarily iconic Hollywood portraits, Leinemann uses layering and composition techniques to explore the\u00a0emotion of the person behind the persona. Presented salon-style, the numerous collage works take on further meaning in their placement and\u00a0relationship between each other in the exhibition space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n
