You’re invited to the opening reception of Abstract Landscape, featuring Hank Bull, James Wyper, Quinn Hopkins and Tiko Kerr.
Join us at Summer & Grace Gallery for an evening celebrating four distinct approaches to abstraction and landscape. Bringing together artists from across Canada and across generations, Abstract Landscape explores how place can be remembered, reconstructed, fragmented and reimagined through colour, form, technology and personal experience.
Rather than presenting landscape as something purely observed, the exhibition considers it as something felt, interpreted and transformed. From expressive painting and geometric abstraction to collage and technology-driven practices, each artist offers a very different way of thinking about our relationship to place.

About the Artists
Hank Bull is a multidisciplinary Vancouver-based artist whose decades-long practice spans painting, photography, video, performance, music and sound. A longtime member of Vancouver’s Western Front Society and co-founder of Centre A, his career has been shaped by experimentation, collaboration and international artistic exchange.
James Wyper is a BC-based artist known for vibrant geometric paintings exploring consciousness, meditation and transcendence. His work considers painting as a physical expression of inner states, using colour, form and abstraction to create energetic, contemplative compositions.
Quinn Hopkins is an Anishinaabe artist based in Toronto, who brings together technology, experimentation and a deep connection to the land. Using digital drawing, 3D modelling, creative coding and machine learning, his work explores new ways of visualizing the spirit of the land and humanity’s relationship with it.
Tiko Kerr is a multidisciplinary Vancouver-based artist whose bold abstractions and collages explore Canadian identity and the fragmented nature of contemporary life. Diagnosed with HIV in 1985, Kerr is also an important health advocate whose landmark 2005 legal battle against the Canadian government helped secure emergency access to life-saving antiretroviral drugs. His more than four-decade artistic practice spans painting, collage, murals and public art.
