Adrian Livesley (96) presents his first solo gallery show at the Petley Jones Gallery, Vancouver.

Since graduating, Livesley has travelled to diverse settings around the world including Finland, Ireland, Cyprus, Mexico and rural British Columbia, to paint directly from the surrounding visual environment.

"My approach to working from landscape has been the same, regardless of where I find myself. I am interested in finding vividly expressive forms and working them into a cohesive image," he says.

"I don't necessarily want to create a realistic representation , but rather something that encapsulates my feelings about the place and time. I like to think of the pictures as quiet dramas; the objects, the colour and the spaces between objects providing the dialogue."
