The Kelowna Art Gallery is excited and pleased to be the first touring venue for the Pop Prints exhibition organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery.
The Pop Art movement began in both Britain and the USA in the early 1960s and had its influence on Canadian artists as well. Due to the accessible nature of its themes and images, the Pop Art movement is still widely known today, some forty years after its heyday. This show of works in printmaking media by some of the stars of Pop gives viewers the chance to reevaluate this short-lived, but highly influential moment. We need to cast our minds back to try to imagine the initial shock of seeing mundane images, treated in a dead-pan manner, often with industrial materials/media, shown in a gallery setting – formerly the bastion of high culture’s traditions. The sheer cheekiness of it! We can get a sense, through this effort, of the feeling that was in the air of challenging old norms, and of unfettering oneself in creative exploration and self discovery. Pop Prints is organized and circulated by the Vancouver Art Gallery with the generous support of Spectra Energy.
