This story is part of a feature that first appeared in print in Revelstoke Mountaineer Magazine’s January 2023 issue. Read the entire e-edition here:
Revelstoke-based adventure sports photographer Daniel Stewart’s series of infrared photos are featured in the main gallery at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre’s January show, which opens with an evening reception on Jan. 5 and runs through Jan. 29.
Stewart took an interest in infrared images a few years ago but noticed a gap in action-oriented images in the format, so he converted his digital camera to shoot in infrared and created images of kayaking, skiing, snowboarding, biking and some traditional landscape photos of the Revelstoke region for this exhibit.
Two of Stewart’s images were selected for the 2021 Red Bull Illume photo book, an international compilation of the best of action sports photography.
In Gallery One, Golden-based jewelry and sculpture artist Jamie Kroeger exhibits A Part of Place, “an object-based exploration of the human connection to the outdoors. Using art jewellery as a method of portraying value and sentiment, themes of safety, equipment, work, experience and knowledge are the centralized narrative.” In the exhibit, the objects themselves act as nostalgic triggers with the specific use of materials.
In Gallery Two, Sab Curtis, also from Golden, presents Rewired — Transform from Within, featuring hyper-realistic acrylic paintings based on the Kootentays: “Art became the unexpected silver lining for Sabrina while recovering from a traumatic brain injury. In 2020, she put brush to canvas for the first time in her life as a therapeutic outlet and she has not stopped since.” In Gallery Three, Revelstoke’s Susie Kathol and Kelowna’s Jenny Liski “have teamed up to relive their favourite childhood (and adulthood) experiences and explore aquatic life together through painting and ceramics” in their exhibit Echo Lake. Kathol presents sgraffito carved pottery and Liski fine detailed illustration with acrylic depicting insects, plants, and animals in this exhibit named after a popular local swimming lake.
