Between the Lines in Revelstoke

Today, May 1, the exhibition Between the Lines by Arin Fay (more information on this old post) opens in Revelstoke (British Columbia, Canada):

Between the Lines
Arin Fay
Revesltoke Visual Arts Centre
1st May - 29th May

Arin Fay’s exhibit Between the Lines consists of stylized abstract, expressionistic acrylic paintings that use the pyrography technique, which involves using burning objects to scorch the wood.
The subjects of her portraits are both the authors of novels and select characters from the texts that appear in the portrait alongside the writer.
Pairings in the exhibit include Jane Eyre’s Charlotte Bronte and Bertha Mason; The Bluest Eye’s Toni Morrison and Pecola Breedlove; and Lives of Girls and Women’s Alice Munro and Ada Jordan.
“In the creation of art, every line, every nuance has a history (language has luggage; colours have context; personalities have precedent) and it is the recognition and use of these factors that makes for emotive art, interesting individuals, and compelling contradictions,” writes Fay in her abstract. “The writers that are depicted, have become, by their own acts of creation, creations in themselves, a process that, within the minds of their readers, is infinite and ever-changing.” (Aaron Orlando in the Revelstoke Time Review)
