MORRIS AND HELEN BELKIN ART GALLERY

JACK SHADBOLT: UNDERPINNINGS
Works on Paper from the Collection

May 1 — August 23

Opening reception: Saturday, May 2, 2—4 p.m.


Jack Shadbolt (1909-1998) is one of Canada’s most important artists. He is known for his paintings and murals that draw from his personal experiences and from the social and political conflicts that have taken place in British Columbia’s and world history such as the struggles of the First Nations, the Second World War, and the environmental movement.

Jack Shadbolt: Underpinnings is a celebration of the artist’s centenary and includes over 150 drawings, sketches, and archival materials from the 1930s to the 1980s. One section of the exhibition reveals the artist’s technical approaches to large scale mural work and also shows the artist’s creative approaches to themes which continue to resonate today.
