ERI ISHII
Vancouver Gardens
December 4, 2021 – January 29, 2022
In a new series of paintings entitled “Vancouver Gardens”, Eri Ishii makes a homage to her adopted home, Vancouver. Each painting was based on scenes from local gardens and parks, and is carefully constructed over time with layers of lush oil paint to explore their beauty and strength. The paintings were created without a preliminary drawing or underpainting, allowing the artist to create a soft and open surface that invites viewers to step into the work.
Eri has exhibited her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Canada and internationally including Halde Galerie in Switzerland, Taiwan National Art Education Museum in Taiwan and Canvas Gallery in Toronto. She has recently been interviewed by CBC North by Northwest, and her work has been featured in various publications including the Vancouver Sun, the Globe & Mail, and the Province.
