Event Description

Houses of Credit Cards: Shawn Shepherd paintings and sculpture

March 4-30, 2022

Opening reception on Saturday March 5, 1-5pm

This Gallery 227-475 Main Street, Vancouver, BC

Shawn Shepherd’s recent paintings and sculpture are informed by the juncture of art and the economy. The artist has resided in the downtown core of Victoria for thirty years and is witness to the developmental changes that continue to occur at a rapid pace. As the architecture increases in verticality so does the cost of living. Shepherd provides the viewer with multiple modes to interpret his work by appropriating the credit card form as a method to build subject matter in both his paintings and sculpture.

The House of Credit Cards paintings, Credit Card Condos and Mini High-rise sculptures in his upcoming exhibition speak metaphorically to the surge in cost of living in Victoria as well as other major urban centres in Canada. Homeowners often endure a relationship with some form of credit. Just as the delicate card structure in each painting is tiered so is the art market and the high-rise Shepherd resides in.
