About the Program
Guest curated by Danielle Peacock, Gardens / Forbidden Fruit sees artist Margaret Van der Pant using gardens and flowers in Vancouver as the focus of her work. Van der Pant has hurdled her resistance to allowing herself to paint and draw flowers. This resistance was rooted in the current notions that acceptable and esteemed art must somehow be constructed as conveying a political or elucidating current theory. She has permitted herself the joy of yielding to a deep-seated desire and her pastel drawings and watercolours are potent, vibrant interpretations of this visual organic energy and refer to sensational aspects of the subject and a love of place.Artist
