Reviews
Lots of art to explore. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the gallery was clean and well-maintained. I particularly enjoyed the monochrome journey and the Emily Carr exhibit. However, one floor was closed for construction on a new exhibit; a small reduction in ticket prices would have been fair to reflect this. Overall, it was a good experience with lots of art to enjoy.
I find it very hard to justify the price of the single admission ticket. Compared to other galleries with waaaaay more artworks the price is a slap in the face.nnThe gallery itself is small, only 2 floors were worth to me and one of them was just about 20 artworks.nnFirst floor, most of it was just pretentious works, the eastern Europe gallery was quite good, but again, it's only a small section.nnOverall, I don't think it's worth more than $12
As an avid art enthusiast, I usually visit galleries and museums globally without consulting reviews. Unfortunately, the Vancouver Art Gallery fell short of expectations due to its steep admission fee, renovation-reduced exhibit space, and relatively small size. The 'A Monochrome Journey' exhibit presented an interesting paradox, with some viewers finding blank canvases unexpressive, while others appreciated the technical challenge. This floor also showcased select works by Andy Warhol and emerging artists. Few pieces of the Group of Seven paintings were exhibited on this floor.nnHowever, the second floor's exhibits tackled sensitive themes, unsuitable for young audiences. It was quite uncommon to find such controversial exhibits in an art gallery. The Emily Carr collection, though captivating, was surprisingly limited. Only 11 pieces of her artwork were displayed. Photography allowed me to creatively engage with the art, highlighting its subjective psychological impact. Art profoundly enhances human experience, fostering inspiration and joy. If we focus on the elements of the art piece including line, color, light, space, composition and style and try to perceive what kind of feelings the art pieces give to us. This approach helps deepen our appreciation for art.nnKeith Haring's words resonate: 'Art should be something that liberates your soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further.'
I was able to enter the museum even after my reserved time had passed. The exhibition was laid out in the most chaotic flow. It was an archive of history and controversy, rooted in a strong belief in the power of beauty.
IMO, it's an art gallery worth visiting, especially when your favorite artist is having an exhibition. I have taken quite a few pictures, but it might be better for you to check them out in person, as the photos can't fully capture the beauty of these masterpieces.
