Into it... Douglas Coupland

Went to OCAD last week to hear Douglas Coupland talk about his upcoming retrospective at VAG.  I didn't know much about Coupland other than he is a prolific writer, artist and collector of Canadian Heritage.  Check out two of my current Coupland obsessions.


Digital Orca, from 2009 sits across from the Vancouver Convention Centre.  


I also really enjoyed seeing some of the new works he is doing for the show including more of his "Group of Seven" reinterpretations.  This one here is  Harris Superior Tweed in Colour and is based on a beautiful piece by famed Canadian painter Lawren Harris.
