PERSPECTIVES – North Okanagan Federation of Canadian Artists
Perspective can be interpreted literally – as artists we play with the perspective we see around us in a physical sense and transpose this to a 2D surface – or figuratively, as we interpret in our artwork a personal perspective of our world through our individual lenses.
Every aspect of our world is being impacted by change: how humans interact with each other, how humans impact the environment, how the tools and processes humans use are developed and used. The rate at which these elements change continues to accelerate. Normal becomes new normal before anyone can adjust.
An artist’s perspective and how they express themselves has also become destabilized. As creative people, however, we are driven to express what we see and feel. This month’s show is a collection of perspectives on seeing the world as it continues to change.
The NOFCA is a community of over 60 artists from the North Okanagan area, which includes emerging artists through to highly proficient professional artists. Through peer support and mutual encouragement their aim is to promote the artistic development and professional advancement of our members. The challenge of working toward a specific theme presents a unique creative challenge and chance to learn and grow.
Many NOFCA members also belong to and support Gallery Vertigo. As such, the opportunity to show their work at the gallery is a meaningful step in their artistic journey.
Come and join us at our opening reception and meet some of the artists in person.
