Humanity’s relationship to nature is being explored in a new exhibition at Deer Lake Gallery.
Harmony; Discord; Dessication opens Saturday, April 16 at the Burnaby Arts Council’s gallery and runs until May 7.
The exhibition features the mixed media work of Ann Tarnowski, who merges oil painting with photography.
“Starting with harmony leading to discord and eventually to dessication, Tarnowski takes the viewer through a progression of man’s impact on the environment and inexorably on himself with this series of images,” a press release says.
Her artistic journey takes the viewer along as the human transforms from “peaceful to inexistent.”
“Her work enables the viewer to imagine the eventual demise of man and to question whether or not we can reverse, half or at least slow the process,” the release notes.
An opening reception is set for Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m., and everyone is invited to attend.
Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.
