www.elliottllouis.comBruce Pashak: justiFYD: Art Crimes in AmericaELLIOTT LOUIS GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Oct 5-Nov 3, 2010 Bruce Pashak is a Canadian artist livingin Vancouver. His work ranging in style from painterly collagesto finely rendered graphite drawings overlaid with pastiches ofpaint, has a sophisticated, graphic presence.After earning a Master of Fine Arts at The University ofCalgary (1991) with a thesis titled The Dialogical Art Form:Mutual Annexations, Pashak has continued to explore conceptsof epistemology and semantics, race, male sexualityand gender through his artwork with exhibits at the PaulKuhn Gallery in Calgary and at the Snap Gallery and ThirdAvenue Gallery in Vancouver. Obviously a skilled draftsman,Pashak seeks to imbue his paintings and drawings with additionaltheoretic justification, claiming that drawing can bean effective voice for the communication of relevant socialcriticism, art theory and philosophy.justiFYD: Art Crimes in America combines graffiti with studiopainting. Pashak collaborated with graffiti artists, who spraybombedhis artwork, in order to produce what he describes as ahybrid art form – one that combines the work of two parties aswell as different intentions. The “vandalized” paintings seek toquestion the gallery’s role in determining their value, the appropriationof art images (both his and theirs), the authorship of theworks, and the criteria that determines ownership.
