Revelations, an exhibition of figure paintings, is ongoing until Feb. 6 at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery. Organized by the gallery, this exhibit features nine Coast artists who began painting together in 2000. Meeting weekly to paint with a live model, the group originally organized after working closely with Vancouver figure painter Thomas Anfield. The members came to the group with varying degrees of artistic training and while remaining attentive to bone, muscle and perspective, each person has responded uniquely to the challenge of painting this traditional artistic subject. Representative works from each of the nine group members demonstrate distinctive and wide-ranging visions of the human figure. The Gibsons Public Art Gallery is located at 271 Gower Point Road in Gibsons. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.
