Opening Reception: November 2: 6-8pm.

In WILL’S own words:

“WILL DEWGRAVE aims at ineffability and hopes you will find he obtains at least some small degree of such. His work's breadth sprawls across purportedly disparate topics, knitting them in a seamless blend. He is from Vancouver originally, stands a quarter-century old, and holds a Bachelor's in English and Communications. He began drawing to occupy ambient channels in his mind during classes, and has kept at it for a decade to date.

WILL DEWGRAVE began by drawing letters in a graffiti style, moved on to drawing buildings, and expanded his remit from there. He considers drawing to be an activity which enhances an individuals capacity to consider the worlds both without and within them. He also believes that drawing, like writing, enables an individual to expand the degree of information that they transmit to others. He draws predominantly in black as that way the artworks are more easily stored and transferred between mediums.

WILL DEWGRAVE is influenced by an ambition for greater environs, and a desire to do some good for a world which has given him so much. He hopes his work is able to spark conversations and foster understanding between people who might not otherwise have connected. While he recognizes the controversy surrounding much of what his work can touch upon, he remains committed to pursuing being a positive force within these sectors.”
