The opening for Jeff Ladouceur’ s new collection of works, “Pearl Path,” takes place Thursday, June 14 at the Burnaby Art Gallery. This is Ladouceur’s first solo exhibit with a Canadian art museum. Described as “contemporary drawings featuring old-timey comic-inspired characters: droopy elephants, big-nosed salesmen, and bubble babies rendered with a dizzying level of detail,” the show runs until August 19.
