The Mad Alchemist
Richmond Art Gallery, 7700 Minoru Gate, Richmond Peter Aspell (1918-2004), a BC painter, was among a core group of influential artists to gain early recognition in post-war Vancouver. Aspell experimented with abstraction, but unlike many of his contemporaries who focused on landscape, Aspell chose figuration as a principal subject. The exhibition will include paintings representing Aspell’s wide-ranging interests in symbolism, mythology, and portraiture. Opening Friday, Jan 22 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.
