Thanks to those people who came out to the Gingerbread Competition & Charity Auction. The event was a great success! This week there is going to be a great show at the new W2 Perel Gallery, Ken Foster's Punk Rock Christmas.
W2 Community Media Arts is excited to present a solo exhibition and holiday event by Vancouver’s most prolific street artist, Ken Foster, December 17-31 at W2 Perel Gallery. In addition to showcasing his work, Ken Foster’s Punk Rock Xmas will be supported by performances from local punk rockers.
Ken Foster’s Punk Rock Xmas is a rare solo exhibition in Foster’s 18-year career selling work to visitors of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES). Known for creating original paintings using found materials and hiding the abundance of his creativity in the alleyways of the DTES, Foster’s pieces are some of Vancouver’s most recognized and widely collected. His work is often more complex than meets the eye, with subtle layers depicting multiple worlds on salvaged objects that carry the energy of their former existence into his creative process.
Please RSVP at the FB event page.
