Dahlia Drive – “Leonardo Tease” collection at the Vancouver Art Gallery

From now until March 21st, the Vancouver Art Gallery is offering free admission to their Leonardo da Vinci Exhibit. When you stop by the gift store, look out for local Vancouver designer Wendy Van Riesen of Dahlia Drive and her printed bamboo t-shirts in her newest “Leonardo Tease” collection, featuring anatomical graphics from the artist’s drawings. Also included in the store are her one of a kind dresses and skirts made from recycled slips and similarly printed with Leonardo’s drawings.

Although these local artists, Margaux Williamson (Fine Arts, Queens University), Laura Piasta (BFA, Emily Carr) and Julia Feyrer (BFA, Emily Carr) share the same medium, it is acknowledged that “through comparison we are able to measure individuality”. The opening reception will be on February 7th from 7pm to 11pm, and the exhibition runs for a month until March 7th.
