Instructor Luke Painter invites all students to join his class "Professional Practice for Printmakers" on November 29 at 7 pm for an artist tak by Ed Pien.
Known for his drawings and large-scale installations, Ed Pien's work arises from the spaces between mythology and fairy-tales, fiction and fact. Though no specific references are being made, his work alludes to both contemporary and historical events in various cultures. The strange and hybridized figures that appear in his work metaphorically represent sites of difference and resistance. Through his art Pien explores and confronts our collective fears and vulnerabilities.
Ed Pien received his BFA from UWO and MFA from York University. He has exhibited nationally and internationally in venues that include The Drawing Centre, New York; The New Paradise, Taipei; La Biennale de Montreal; W139, Amsterdam; The Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver; The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto; The Canadian Culture Centre, Paris; Middlesbrough Art Gallery, UK; Parkhaus, Berlin; Quartair, The Hague; and Canada House, London. His most recent installation is presently being presented at the Bellevue Arts Museum, in Bellevue, Washington.
