All are welcome at this Artist Talk.
Kelly Lycan is a photo-based installation artist based in Vancouver on the unceded territories of the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, and Musqueam Nations. She explores concepts of perception, value and reproduction, examining how objects and images are displayed while reflecting on the cycles of value they experience. Her practice reimagines ordinary objects and processes, emphasizing the relationship between an original and its replica.
Kelly Lycan received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. Her work has been exhibited across Canada, the US, Europe, and the Middle East, including solo exhibitions at the Burnaby Art Gallery (2024); Ag Galerie, Tehran, Iran (2018); the Burrard Art Foundation, Vancouver (2016); Susan Hobbs Gallery, Toronto (2015); Presentation House Gallery, North Vancouver (2014); SFU Gallery, Burnaby (2014); Or Gallery, Vancouver (2011) and Gallery TPW, Toronto (2009). She also collaborated with the artist collective Instant Coffee from 2005 to 2015, a service-oriented collective that has exhibited widely.
This event is presented by the Audain Faculty of Art in partnership with Art Forums 300 faculty.
