www.jacanagallery.comKai McCall, Mo Tan and Kwan YuJACANA GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – <strong>Nov</strong> 15-Dec 12, <strong>2011</strong> Jacana Gallery introduces the work ofthree artists new to the gallery: Kai McCall, Mo Tan andKwan Yu. The exhibit will be the first time Kai McCalland Mo Tan have shown in Vancouver. While McCall andYu focus on figures, Tan captures the anonymity of largecities.Kai McCall lives and works in Montreal when he hasshown at Galerie d’Avignon and Galerie McCLure. Hisunusual surrealist paintings pair pin-up girls in epic poseswith mythical creatures. Fanciful and slightly ambiguous,McCall’s colourful narratives are dense with referencesfrom art history, literature, illustration and films. Kwan Yusimilarly combines images and text from art magazineswith objects in his studio to create contemporary but enigmaticjuxtapositions. Yu’s style, however, is completely different.Sombre, almost spooky figures and faces emergefrom dark backgrounds and layers of wash. Yu has lived inVancouver since 1992, where he graduated with a BA fromEmily Carr Institute of Art & Design in 2001.Mo Tan is a Singapore artist based in Paris who hastravelled to more than 70 countries. Working from photosof urban scenes, he creates realistic renderings and partialglimpses of city streets, office windows, subway stations,railway yards, piers and bridges in Yokohama, New York,Kai McCall, Always (<strong>2011</strong>), oil on canvas [JacanaGallery, Vancouver BC, <strong>Nov</strong> 15-Dec 18]Paris, Rotterdam, Shanghai and dozens of other cities wordwide. He violates the precision of theacrylic paintings by fragmenting the composition or splashing them with dripping paint and otherpictorial treatments.
