From papier-mâché to painting on aluminum, the newest exhibition at the Plaskett Gallery is an exploration of a wide range of techniques.

Materialization, featuring work by Mila Karavai, is on at the gallery from July 5 to Aug. 6.

“Viewed through the perspective of one artist, the works represent an illustration of influence of material and technique on the final result,” says a press release about the exhibition. “The main theme of the exhibition is a transformation of an idea into a physical form; an evolution of chaotic and abstract shapes into recognizable, content-addressable characters.”

Karavai was born in Minsk, Belarus and is a graduate of the Saint Petersburg Steiglitz State Academy of Art and Design in Russia.

Her work can be seen at the Plaskett Gallery in Massey Theatre during gallery hours: 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and during performances at the theatre.

The gallery and theatre are at 735 Eighth Ave. See www.masseytheatre.com or call 604-517-5900 for more information.
