======================

BBAM! Gallery is proud to present EARLY DAYS, an exhibition of paintings created by Lacey Jane Wilburn during her 10 years of working, studying, and creating in Montreal. From her first BBAM! Gallery exhibition in 2012 to her last in 2020 before moving out West; this is a fantastic exploration of an artistic journey that has touched many layers of expression, materials, and technique; pop surrealism, figurative, erotica, portraiture, landscape and more.
“It's all about the figure, lots of narrative figuration, pop surrealism, and discovering storytelling with the brush,” explains Lacey. “Since these early Montreal days, I have moved out West to Whistler, completed a master's degree, am now a part-time professor of fine arts at Emily Carr University Of Art And Design in Vancouver; living in Whistler, and just became a mom, so I am coming back to Montreal to revisit the work that launched this huge journey of mine.”
“Living on the west coast, my work has transitioned greatly, taking a step down a quieter path of painting peoples' objects and houses as a form of portraiture, but still with a deep love of colour and drama. Now with the birth of my baby, I'm inspired again by the loudness, chaos, and beauty of human life, and excited to revisit these early days.”
This is a rare opportunity for friends, fans, and collectors to experience Lacey Jane’s Montreal-era body of work and meet the artist in person at our vernissage, Friday, May 31, from 5-9pm.
All works are available for purchase.
