Opening Reception: July 10, 2025 –  4:30 to 6:00pm 

About the Exhibit: 
Not, about nothing features two collections, “The Traveler Series” and “To Re-examine” by Vancouver-based artist Corina Hanson.  

“The Traveler Series” was created while Hanson was travelling in her Airstream trailer. Each work is influenced by a changing landscape of local flora and the emotional journey of a nomadic artist. A closer look at these smaller scale works reveals hidden pieces of tissue, tidal charts, music notes and journal pages. 

In “To Re-examine,” Hanson uses layers of vibrant paints, charcoal and pencil crayon to develop an overlapping effect. She adds and subtracts from the canvas using scratching, spritzing and rubbing techniques that add texture to the bold canvases. 

Corina Hanson has a diverse range of art practices. Professionally trained as a fashion designer, her career has evolved from textiles to site specific installations, socially engaged art, mosaic, mixed media and painting. Now working predominantly in mixed media and acrylic painting, she is inspired by the natural world, poetry, music and the changing quality of light one sees throughout the day.
