Caldwell Snyder Gallery | Bobbie Burgers "Time Flows Through Narrow Spaces" Artist Reception
Saturday, January 20, 2024, 1500 - 1700
Caldwell Snyder is pleased to announce Canadian artist Bobbie Burgers' solo exhibition," Time Flows Through Narrow Spaces", of recent paintings in our St. Helena Gallery. We will be hosting an artist reception on Saturday, January 20th from 3 to 5pm. The exhibition will be on view until February 15th.
Bobbie Burgers is interested in the process of decay, transformation, and metamorphosis. With a distinct style that merges abstraction with representation in increasing degrees, her work brings together instinctive compositions while revealing her precise powers of observation. Remarkable for their compositional rhythms, bold coloration, and sweeping gestural brushstrokes, Burgers' paintings bring alive the fundamental quest to express something personal, subjective and emotive, in a poetic, abstract way.
A theme that meanders through this exhibition is Burgers' imagined imagery of time flowing through narrow spaces, where her encounter with the viewer is temporal, yet in many ways the very point of creating art. Thinking of time as a river, we get the feeling that it stretches and compresses, the currents swirling, rushing or stagnating; sometimes highlighting a moment of importance or attention, sometimes roaring right past in excitement or stress. In this concept there is the volatility of time during the act of creation, but more significantly the compressing of the moment where someone views the work; that instant where an impression is made, and ideas are formed. In this sense the two themes come together, both speaking to her relationship to the viewer, and their role in creating meaning in the artwork.
Burgers lives and works in her hometown of Vancouver, where she received the Vancouver FANS award in 2013 and teaches at the Gordon Smith Foundation. She has exhibited her work at galleries, museums, and art fairs internationally.
