Gabriela Garcia-Luna: Edge
to
Art Gallery of Regina 2420 Elphinstone St, Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre, Regina, Saskatchewan S4T 3N9
Gabriela Garcia-Luna
Garcia-Luna, "Altered South," 2019
Opening reception and Artist Talk on May 15, 7 to 9 pm.
The ideas, images, and work presented in this exhibition are the results of a creative process centered on the experience of being at the Saskatchewan River Delta undertaken by artist Gabriela García-Luna. Underrecognized by many in Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan River Delta is the largest inland Delta in North America and carries immeasurable life, history, and the essence of traditional ways of living.
In a time when the planet is facing an environmental and social crisis, when ecosystems are threatened and in a fragile state, García-Luna works reminds us it is imperative to look and review our bond to nature, not only through information or in conceptual ways, but through involvement and experience of the living rural spaces and environments close to us.
