Ken West was born, grew up, and has lived in Vancouver his entire life. The city he loves is now changing so rapidly that creating frozen moments from his world is becoming more and more important in his work. By taking the time to notice the beautiful details in everything around him, Ken’s work shines a light of respect and charm on the corners of Vancouver that might otherwise hide in the shadows. Through a mastered process of edits, simplification, and construction, West’s work honours the connection he has with the subjects he paints. His style of dreamlike realism allows the viewer to be swept away into a forgotten memory that feels both happy and calm. Take a moment to stop and see Vancouver through the eyes of artist Ken West.
