To celebrate World Water Day, the East Gallery will feature the work of emerging artists Noah Poirier and Kyle Goguen and the West Gallery will present paintings by Greg Davies. Each of these artists provide a unique perspective on the environmental crisis and the often often-overlooked role of water in our lives.
While Noah Poirier avoids proselytizing, his paintings are exuberant and colourful depictions of his musings on the hidden nature of water. Kyle Goguen is a sculptor who uses found objects to create playful yet serious commentaries on the state of the environment. Greg Davies on the other hand, refers to the Old Masters to portray endangered species and explore the environmental impacts of human interference.
World Water Day is an initiative of the United Nations to bring awareness to the importance of water resources and their sustainable management. The UNB Art Centre has been a participant in this project since 2011.
