A Coquitlam artist will see his work exhibited in a New York City gallery starting next week.
Ink and mixed media drawings by Beijing-trained Sherman Lin will be displayed as part of the group show called Unbound Perspectives, from Aug. 26 to Sept. 15 in the Agora Gallery.
An opening reception will be held Sept. 1 in the Chelsea district venue.
Lin graduated from the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts in 1982 and, over time, blended his eastern and western techniques including using Chinese rice paper with acrylic paints. His current series of geometric shapes, called Falling Mountains, is described as an "ode to nature."
It's not the first time the Agora Gallery has featured the work of a Tri-City resident: Gleneagle secondary graduate Deanna Fligg had four of her bee paintings in a show this year; and sculpture Parvaneh Roudgar had six pieces in 2013.
