Island Mountain Arts

note new time of 6pm...so you can also take in the Fred Wells Show at the Sunset Theatre at 8pm.

The Island Mountain Arts Public Gallery in Wells, BC is pleased to announce that artist Peter Von Tiesenhausen will be doing a talk on Sunday, July 20th. 

Alberta artist Peter von Tie­senhausen has a fierce con­nection to the land. That con­nection is pres­ent in all of his work, whether it’s in a painting, mixed media, an installation, or a sculpture made of willow branches, granite, bronze, or wood. Born in British Columbia, Peter moved with his family to Demmitt, Alberta, outside of Grande Prairie, when he was a young child and still maintains a strong attachment to the family homestead. Much of Peter’s art deals with transformation and transience. His deep involvement with the land is evi­dent. Working with willow branches, ice and wood, his installations are found high up in trees, in the mid­dle of the bush, or in open fields. Peter’s art production is non-tra­ditional; he burns, carves and otherwise transforms environments into art spaces. Peter’s innovative works have been exhibited worldwide, to much ac­claim, and can be found in many impor­tant public collections.

Admission is by donation. (free for students in his course)
