Visiting artist Sandeep Johal will deliver a talk and presentation of her work at Confederation Centre Art Gallery on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. Following the presentation, the artist will be available for questions and discussion. This event is free and open to the public!Sandeep Johal is a Vancouver-based Canadian visual artist, advocate, and leader whose practice engages drawing, collage, textiles, and large-scale murals. Through her Indo-folk feminine aesthetic, she confronts themes of bleakness, despair and ugliness with their dissonant opposites: brightness, hope and beauty. Johal’s work typically centers around the stories of women and while she highlights female suffering in its many forms, these are ultimately stories of resistance and resilience.
Johal began her professional art practice after becoming a new mother at the age of 41. Since then, she has worked on a number of notable site-specific commissions with the Vancouver Art Gallery (2021, 2019), Burrard Arts Foundation (2019) and Vancouver Mural Festival (2016-2021). Johal’s work is held in numerous collections, including the TD Art Collection, the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art, Global Affairs Canada Visual Art Collection Program (Canadian Embassy, San Salvador), and Surrey Art Gallery. She holds a Diploma in Fine Arts (honours) from Langara College (2007) and a Degree in Education from the University of British Columbia (2002).
