Art @ KCT Exhibition Reception- Arianne Tubman & Patty Leinemann

Kelowna Community Theatre is set to unveil two new exhibitions as part of the recently launched Art@KCT presented by KPMG program. Featuring the work of Okanagan- based artists Arianne Tubman and Patty Leinemann, this newest edition of Art@KCT program includes the work of two emerging Okanagan artists working in the mediums of photography and collage.

In the Rise exhibition space, Arianne Tubman’s Kindred takes inspiration from archival photographs of her grandmother. By replicating the colours, composition, and character of these portraits, Tubman examines generational change and her relationship with place. Her modern portraits are separated from their predecessors by nearly 60 years and thousands of kilometres. The original images showcase her grandmother’s life in Saskatchewan and the trips she took in her 20’s. In contrast, Tubman’s portraits reflect her life at that age, living in Kelowna.

In the Cube exhibition space, Patty Leinemann presents The Conversation, a new series of collage works exploring the convergence of performance, memory and place. Referencing iconic Hollywood portraits, Leinemann uses layering and composition techniques to explore the emotion of the person behind the persona. Presented salon-style, the numerous collage works take on further meaning in their placement and relationship between each other in the Cube exhibition space.

Please join us for a public reception on October 12, 5-7pm. The artists will be in attendance. Refreshments will be served.

Kindred and The Conversation are on view from September 29 – December 25, 2022, in the lobby of the Kelowna Community Theatre.
