Curated by: Jonathan Middleton

The Or Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Pattison, a new installation by renowned Halifax-based artist Garry Neill Kennedy.

Pattison is an evolution of the project Kennedy presented at G Gallery in Toronto and deals with his longtime interests in business culture, commercial signage, the interplay of corporate and personal identities, and the use of colour and typography indexed to portraiture. The large wall text painting combines the corporate word marks of Jim Pattison and Bob Rennie, two prominent business figures in Vancouver.
