Transformation: A Retrospective
Works and Writing by Duncan Regehr
June 13 to August 18, 2012
For the summer months we present a retrospective of Duncan Regehr's artistic career to date. Through a wide-ranging presentation of media the viewer will become acquainted with the artist's working method: to develop a series of paintings, sculptures, drawings and writings that project and explore a common theme or philosophy. By delving into the collective subconscious and the psyche, Regehr produces images of an intensely personal nature, which invites reciprocal identification by the viewer.
In pairing both visual art and poetry, this exhibition brings to life this remarkable artist's investigations of the notions of transformation and metamorphosis. Recent series Omiscience, Revenant and Doppelganger reflect a new intensity and scale of Regehr's reflection on the human experience and bring together the recurring leitmotifs of his work.
Regehr was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Victoria in 2008 for his accomplishments in theatre and fine arts. The Legacy Art Gallery is pleased to feature the work of this distinguished honorand.
