===============================
Patterns are all around us. We are often enamoured with the beauty of the natural landscape that surrounds us, and artists are no different. Nature serves as a significant inspiration and when we look closer at the building blocks of the natural world, we often find similar interconnecting patterns; the roots of a tree system and our nervous system, the veins of a leaf and the veins in our own body, the pattern of bark and the texture of our own skin.
Some of the most common patterns are the driving force behind both humans and plants. These systems are vital to survival and there is beauty in the simplicity of these patterns and the complexity of these systems.
This exhibition was curated by Danielle Ribar, Art Gallery of Grande Prairie (TREX Region 1). It features artworks from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) collection, including artists Clint Wilson, Doris Freadrich, April Dean, and William Laing.
