Take a peek into enchanted places with a new exhibition at Amelia Douglas Gallery.

Enchanted Places, featuring paintings by Chun Ping (Claire) Huang, is on at the gallery from Jan. 17 to Feb. 23. An opening reception is on Friday, Jan. 18 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., with live music, refreshments and cash bar, and an artist’s talk is on Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 6:30 p.m.

“I’m preoccupied, fascinated and curious about the solitariness and mysteriousness of places,” Huang says in a statement. “My work evolves in various stages by a mix of abstraction and landscape representation. I blur edges and outlines, as if images were speeding by with the flicker of film, or glimpsed through crashes of abstraction. The architectural landscapes have been selectively integrated into the abstract background by addition and subtraction, creation and destruction.”

Amelia Douglas Gallery is on the fourth floor north at Douglas College’s New Westminster campus, 700 Royal Ave.  It’s open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed Sundays). For more, see www.douglas.ca/artsevents.
