‘Reappropriated Form’ By Tyler Keeton Robbins Now Hanging At BAF

IMG_5531

On the hot heels of Evann Siebens’ deConstruction, Tyler Keeton Robbins is one of the artist currently on view at The Burrard Arts Foundation. Affectionately known as BAF, this Mt. Pleasant space is worth your eye.

Robbins attention to blending craft, street art, and contemporary aesthetics is clear throughout his exhibition Light The Past. We all doodle, but few of us are able to create such pleasing drawings on handmade paper when we indulge in mark making. The subtle details created by the texture of his self made paper is heightened by Robbins’ use of spray paint. Reappropriated Form is striking from a distance, and engaging upclose. A gem for any kitchen.
