Airstream - solo painting exhibition by Taralee Guild
OPENING Friday September 11th 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.
