Black and White
Recently, the artists of Fort Langley’s Fort Gallery decided to put aside the colours that they are so familiar with, and work solely with Black and White for one show. The resulting artwork is both dramatic and elegant, and on display now at the gallery.
Although most of the artists are painters, the Black and White theme extends beyond paintings.
Visitors walking in to the gallery will also find wonderful examples of fused glass, pen and ink drawings, and printmaking.
The exhibition runs Wednesday, June 19, to July 7. The artists’ opening reception is Friday, June 21, at 7 p.m. The Fort Gallery is open Wednesdays to Sundays, from noon to 5 p.m. at 9048 Glover Rd. in the centre of the Fort Langley village. For more information, visit www.fortgallery.ca.
