Airstream solo show

Airstream - solo painting exhibition by Taralee Guild

OPENING Friday September 11^th at 7pm during Swarm @ JEM Gallery, 36-22 East Cordova St. Vancouver, BC.

This exhibition is comprised of 20 realistic paintings of early model Airstream trailers which have been polished to a mirror finish. Each composition emphasizes the distortion visible in the highly reflective metal. The paintings were inspired from amateur photographs taken by proud Airstream enthusiasts or sellers on the internet. The series examines the politics of the reflection and uses it to metaphor the ideology of the American Dream.

Taralee Guild lives and works in Vancouver, BC. Her painting praxis explores simulacrum of filmic/photographic media and where realism backslides into non-communication. She will be receiving a BFA of Visual Arts from Emily Carr University in April 2010.

So much has happened!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since The Cheaper Show I've done Bikosphere at Centre A, the "Buy More Art" student sale at ECU, a group show Nomadic Convergence at the Concourse Gallery, and a couple of group shows at student ran gallery The Brow.

I finally had my own solo show Mechanical Abstraction at The Brow. That went over extremely well and I'm ready to do more.

Starting in March I'm renting my very own studio space downtown. That means when schools out I can still work in a studio space all summer. Exciting!
