Prepared by the Richmond Arts Coalition
On until August 17 Lucie Chan and Marigold Santos: Attachments Richmond Art Gallery will present the work of Lucie Chan (Vancouver) and Marigold Santos (Montreal) in an exhibition entitled Attachments. Integral to their work is their fascination with drawing as a potent vehicle for storytelling.
Guyanese-Canadian artist, Lucie Chan holds a BFA with distinction from ACAD University and a MFA from NSCAD University. She has shown nationally in group and solo exhibitions as well as completed artist-in-residence programs across Canada, and twice at ARTerra in Lobão da Beira, Portugal. She has been the recipient of numerous provincial and national grants and was long-listed twice for the Sobey Art Award (2005, 2010).
Marigold Santos pursues an inter-disciplinary art practice involving drawn and printed works, sculpture, animation and sound. She completed her BFA in Print at the University of Calgary in 2006, is a recipient of numerous awards, and has exhibited her work within Canada, United States and Japan. She currently resides in Montréal, QC, where she completed her MFA from Concordia University in 2011.
