ABSORPTION features a variety of different works from five visual art students involving their explorations in ecological, political, cultural, or perceptual themes. Through each of their individual approaches, the artists use visual forms to probe these interconnected facets to examine how they determine human interactions with the natural world, and how they can be shaped, disrupted, or reoriented through the lens of visual art to make the viewer aware of the relationship between them and those facets. You will be absorbed into our experimentation and creation on the idea of abstraction, manipulation, and surrealism with bold colors and ideas.
Shaped by Dusk looka into the stillness of nature and nightfall, welcoming the mind to wonder as the light dims and the leaves shift. Where object and memory seem to lose all meaning, and only being is the answer. Memories of evenings long ago pass by and each time you visit it's never the same. Shaped by Dusk took place in the Mezzanine of the University of Victoria Visual Arts Building, highlighting five artists from the BFA grad class.
Spillways is a collection of multi-media work created by the 2026 BFA Grad Class at the University of Victoria. Lily's inkjet matte print, laminated, on dibond, Liability was shown amongst her fellow peers.
RESERVED FOR NO ONE features lens-based work from 5 emerging visual art students, each exploring themes of isolation, urban spaces, and the traces of human presence. Through their distinct approaches, these artists capture moments that reveal the tension between absence and interaction in the public domain. In Victoria, B.C., a fairly populated city, they have managed to isolate fleeting moments — shadows left behind, marks left on walls and sidewalks, and subtle signs of life that often go unnoticed. This exhibition reflects on the quiet yet persistent ways people shape and occupy shared spaces. These 5 artists ask the question “Who is this space reserved for?"
Interoception is a collection of multi-media work created by the honour students of 395 at the University of Victoria in 2024. Lily's audio installation, Percept was shown amongst her fellow peers.
