Darcie Bernhardt’s first solo exhibition at the gallery in June, 2021. The exhibition’s title Akisuktuaq is an Inuvialuktun word which, when translated to English, means “striking a shiny object with its rays.” Evocative of sparkle, light, and shine, Bernhardt’s paintings convey Akisuktuaq—from the medium they are primed with, to their play on highly concentrated light in both interior and exterior scenes.
On view from June 5th to June 26th, 2021
