Diana Chabros Artist Talk & Closing Reception

Join us for an artist talk with artist Diana Chabros at the closing reception of her exhibition, samskāra, in the main gallery. Diana will lead us through her series of paintings which thematically focuses on energy, the repetitive patterns humans undertake, and the interrelationships of land and animals. Engage in a Q & A with her to learn more about her work.

Diana Chabros is home based in Val Marie Saskatchewan. One of the most fragile eco-systems in the world, the prairie grasslands in southwest Saskatchewan are constantly at risk for development as they harbour tremendous volumes of fossil energy, and other energy resources. Each of the paintings in samskāra is a portal into the dynamic play of grassland with climate and human intervention. This exhibition will provide viewers with an opportunity to reflect on their personal relationship with nature, their own samskāras, and to question both the ‘fictions’ and the ‘facts’, the wild and the domesticated, and the fragility and vastness of the area.
