Brian Howell is an
award-winning editorial photographer and artist who has exhibited both
nationally and internationally. He holds a BAA from Ryerson Polytechnic
University in Film &Photography. Howell is a regular contributor to Geist,
Maclean's, and Vancouver Magazine, and has published a number of books
including "Fame Us", documenting celebrity impersonators, and
"One Ring Circus", following the minor leagues of professional
wrestling. Brian Howell is now based in Delta, BC. In his essay "Shopping
Carts", Douglas Coupland writes "Howell's photographic art practice
has evolved over this past decade alongside his professional work as a press
photographer. His practice has focused on people inhabiting mainstream
culture's fringes, for example, the lower tiers of the pro wrestling circuit,
and the world of celebrity impersonators. Howell's recent body of shopping cart
work follows that tradition of exploring fringes. He explores society's
outsiders while expanding the act into something far broader, into realms that
touch on capitalism, green politics, environmentalism, the politics of
homelessness as well as the issues of form and materiality."
Angela Grossmann
graduated from Emily Carr College (now University) of Art + Design in 1985.
That year she was introduced as one of the Vancouver Art Gallery's "Young
Romantic" painters most likely to influence the course of painting in that
decade. After earning an MFA at Concordia University and teaching at Ottawa
University, Grossmann returned to Vancouver in 1997 to paint and to teach at
Emily Carr. She has exhibited widely across Canada, the United States and
Europe and her work is in numerous public and private collections. In June
2006, she was included in a list of 100 artists who have most influenced
students at eleven leading British art schools, including the Royal Academy,
Slade and Royal College of Art. Also in 2006, she joined forces once more with
Douglas Coupland, Graham Gillmore, Attila Richard Lukacs and Derek Root to
create a massive sculptural installation entitled Vancouver School. Grossmann
collaborates with this group on a regular basis for special projects.
Allan Switzer, a
Vancouver artist, was born in Calgary in 1955. He is not only a product of
Vancouver sensibilities and a philosophy degree from York University, but also
a by-product of the second generation Conceptualists' of the Nova Scotia
College of Art and Design, who made up a large part of the ECIAD faculty during
his time at school. Allan utilizes the motifs of abstraction, minimalist grids,
stripes and images, and fonts and these works can be read as complex systems of
reference, effecting a collision of signs and elements of disparate painterly
discourse. Switzer studied Philosophy at Toronto's York University and obtained
a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Vancouver's Emily Carr Institute of Art and
Design. He also holds a Masters degree in Fine Art from Montreal's Concordia
University.
Brian Boulton captures
singular moments of everyday life in his detailed depictions of anonymous
subjects in public spaces. Based on digital photos, these solitary figures face
away from the viewer and are removed from their urban environment. Boulton's
painstakingly detailed and complex practice is further nuanced by the
incorporation of an element of spontaneity. Unaware they are being
photographed, the subjects assume uninhibited, natural and occasionally classic
poses that lend the images a timeless quality which would otherwise be
obfuscated by their contemporary clothing. Brian Boulton studied architectural
rendering at the College of New Caledonia in Prince George, BC, as well as Film
and Art History at Langara College in Vancouver. He has been employed in the arts
for over 30 years and has been involved in many artist-run centres and
galleries.
