WILL DEWGRAVE

Outsiders and Others is excited to present a solo exhibition with self taught artist WILL DEWGRAVE. WILL DEWGRAVE specializes in digital illustrations of architecture, and the impossible.

 

The exhibition will feature a series of one-of-a-kind original prints of digital illustrations that the artist has customized with his writing.

 

In WILL’s own words:

“WILL DEWGRAVE aims at ineffability and hopes you will find he obtains at least some small degree of such. His work's breadth sprawls across purportedly disparate topics, knitting them in a seamless blend. He is from Vancouver originally, stands a quarter-century old, and holds a Bachelor's in English and Communications. He began drawing to occupy ambient channels in his mind during classes, and has kept at it for a decade to date. WILL DEWGRAVE began by drawing letters in a graffiti style, moved on to drawing buildings, and expanded his remit from there. He considers drawing to be an activity which enhances an individuals capacity to consider the worlds both without and within them. He also believes that drawing, like writing, enables an individual to expand the degree of information that they transmit to others. He draws predominantly in black as that way the artworks are more easily stored and transferred between mediums. WILL DEWGRAVE is influenced by an ambition for greater environs, and a desire to do some good for a world which has given him so much. He hopes his work is able to spark conversations and foster understanding between people who might not otherwise have connected. While he recognizes the controversy surrounding much of what his work can touch upon, he remains committed to pursuing being a positive force within these sectors.”

Don't miss the chance to see the artwork of a young inspired artist at the beginning of their career.

As outsiders to this land—the land of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm / Musqueam , Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw / Squamish,

and səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ / Tsleil-Waututh  Nations — we continue to acknowledge their stewardship of these lands

since time immemorial.

We acknowledge the colonial history that has devastated these lands and peoples,

and we are committed to learning from the past to help create a shared future of observation, reconciliation,

and understanding. As visitors to this land, our gallery is committed to supporting the development of local Indigenous peoples and communities.

In gratitude and with ever-evolving knowledge, we look forward to honest and open dialogue between Indigenous peoples and the outsiders who are here to create, learn, and prosper together.
