Join us as local artist Billy Bert Young shares insights into his latest series of paintings created over the past four years and featured in the exhibition Billy Bert Young: Cloudburst. Drawing inspiration from nostalgic advertisements, movie posters, children’s book illustrations, and historical prints, Young combines high realism with pop culture and collage to create striking, fantastical, and thought-provoking works.
Presented in partnership with the Department of Visual Arts at Western University, all Art Now! Speakers’ Series talks are free to students and educators. Registration is required for all.
