      The Burnaby Art Gallery is exhibiting works spanning more than 40 years by West Coast artist Gary Lee-Nova.

      Oblique Trajectories features large-scale paintings accompanied by sculpture, lithographic prints based on paper collages, silkscreen prints, and digital collage.

       

      “The exhibition allows a glimpse of Lee-Nova’s extensive research of various systems,” BAG curator Jennifer Cane says in a statement. “He has been looking at patterns within colour, measurement and language for more than 50 years. There are important comments on the double-edged swords we are presented with through technologies, within these works. The works speak well within this particular period of time.”

      Lee-Nova, who was named Professor Emeritus of the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2018, has seen his work exhibited at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Bau-Xi Gallery (Toronto), the Western Front, the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, the National Gallery of Canada, the Demarco Gallery (Edinburgh) and the Paris Biennale.
