Description

In his first set of paintings published in nine years, Michael Kluckner explores surviving relics of old Vancouver and rural British Columbia, scenes like those in his award-winning, best-selling books from the 1990s and 2000s. Accompanying them are images of people and places that capture a kind of “Vancouver poetry,” and artwork from his travel sketchbooks of journeys around the world.
