Winsor Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings and video

Please join us for the opening evening on Thursday the 2nd, from 6-8pm.
Gary Pearson is a Kelowna-based artist
whose distinctive paintings and drawings have been exhibited across Canada, in
the USA, Germany, Australia, the UK, and Poland. His work is focused on the
transient urban inhabitants of spaces that continue to inspire Pearson as an
artist: bars, jazz clubs, diners, and restaurants. Employing an intentionally
crude style of mark-making, he seeks to give his work a direct and unmediated
quality. Pearson consistently brings complexity and nuance to his work, which
is simple only at first glance. Always conscious of the history and iconic
imagery of his profession, Pearson's energy, dynamism and sense of style
operate on multiple levels.
