"Kathryn Jacobi: The Minor Pantheon"
2003-05-07 until 2003-05-24
Diane Farris Gallery
Vancouver, BC, CA Canada

The paintings in this exhibition have been paralleling Kathryn's figurative work for most of her artistic career. This particular group, which are generically called 'The Minor Pantheon', began in 1998 with the "Circus of the Golden Egg" and have been cross pollenating ever since. Kathryn is drawn to the subject matter of the circus because it is an occasion where one's sense of possibility is heightened visually and emotionally. These imaginary circus images can be read as a metaphor for risk, possibilities, taking chances, and suspended expectations.

Inspired by the surrealist artists, in particular, Max Ernst and Paul Klee, the paintings are a meditation on the randomness of fate. Thematically they present history as a game, a puzzle. Things are not what they seem - are fragmented and transformed into what one least expects.

The artist states, "The work in this exhibition is the documentation of my most careful scrutiny of my internal world as it represents the emotional reaction to the events and experiences of the external".

Kathryn Jacobi and her husband, actor Richard Dysart, divide their time between Santa Monica, California, and Sechelt, BC. Her paintings and drawings have been exhibited in museums, universities, and galleries in Berlin, Denmark, Madrid, Toronto, and Vancouver as well as throughout the United States.
