22 June 2011
Those visiting Canada Line stations along Richmond’s No. 3 Road will be greeted with lively multi-cultural, day and evening city scenes just installed in the City’s circular art columns. It is the third exhibit of works by local artists at the Richmond-Brighouse, Lansdowne and Aberdeen Canada Line stations, presented by the City’s Public Art program.
The theme of the exhibit is Layering Life and Culture and it will remain on display for the next six months. The exhibit feature reproductions of artwork by the following three local artists:
- Diyan Achjadi (Vancouver): Located at Aberdeen station, Here is There is Here are radiant digitally constructed drawings combining places in and around Aberdeen station with memories of the artist’s hometown of Jakarta, Indonesia.
- Carolyn Sullivan (Vancouver): Located at the Lansdowne station, Richmond’s Evening Hues is a collage of over 100 photographs of Richmond at twilight and at night, from sea to sky and from urban neon to nature’s sunsets.
- Wilfrido Limvalencia (Richmond): Located at the Richmond Brighouse station, The Good Life is four paintings depicting community scenes of harvest and craft, from Minoru Chapel in the Park to Fisherman’s Wharf in Steveston.
The No. 3 Road art columns, co-sponsored by Appia Group of Companies, are part of the City’s commitment to enhance the No. 3 Road streetscape, and provide the opportunity for artists who work in two-dimensional media to participate in public art.
