The Space
1063 Hamilton street V6B 5T4 Vancouver, BC, Canada

Dear Patrons and Followers, We have chosen to close our doors as of December 15th. The Space started as a pop up gallery with previous locations in Lower Lonsdale and Horseshoe Bay, and now our time at the Yaletown location has come to an end. We sincerely want to thank you for your support over the last three and a half years! We have loved every day at our Yaletown location, especially hosting so many art openings for the incredibly talented artists we've met over the yea...rs. Thank you to all who have visited us at the busy art shows and on the quiet days, and thank you to all the artists who have been an integral part of our gallery. We are very excited to see what comes next, and we are on the lookout for a new location to open in the future. In the meantime, we will be doing more work on our online gallery, so please keep an eye out for updates on our website. For now, we wish you all a Happy Holiday Season!

We love a good install shot of an artwork in a clients home. This chess themed surreal piece from @william.d.higginson goes perfectly above the game board and trophy of an avid chess player.

A great example of physical distancing by Donna Girauds artworks :)

Our artists have all been productive in lockdown, and this new piece from Olga Rybalko is one of the latest additions to our walls. "Looking Back", 36" x 48", oil on Canvas.

Heres one of William Higginsons latest creations. This piece at 48" x 48" is yet to receive a title, but here is a short explanation of the idea from the artist. "Its idea is poking at the moves we all have to make each day and chess is the perfect analogy for it. If we sit back and observe in the game for a while, the path becomes pretty clear. Might need a bridge for this one though."

These smaller works by William D. Higginson are three of the four remaining pieces from his 2019 collection, "Looking, Not Seeing". Were looking forward to showing you more new works that hes been labouring on during lockdown.

"Whats lost can always be found." In this case, we found gold! This amazing work "LOST" by Donna Giraud stands at 48" x 72" and is created using acrylics and crackle paste on canvas.

Just in time for Fathers Day, weve re-stocked our print rack. All prints come matted and in plastic sleeves, and they range from $50 - $195.

"You deserve meaningful conversations. You deserve to feel heard. Everyone deserves a little help." We love this new pice by Donna Giraud titled "HELP", 48 x 48 inches.

"I dare ya!" Limited edition print by Jolayne Devente.

We have a couple of new pieces by Jolayne Devente that are branching out outside her norm. They are made from wood, copper and wire, and this one titled "Harvest" is 27" x 19".

Congratulations, Donna Giraud, on a successful online show opening! Now those blank spaces on the walls need to be filled with new art :)

Just one more day to go until Donna Girauds online solo show. Tune in to her website, donnagiraudart.com tomorrow at 6pm and see the all new works!

Just one week left until Donna Girauds Solo show opening! It will all be happening virtually on her website, so tune in on May 14th to be the first to see her all new collection. . . . .... . . . #texture #abstractpainting #abstractart #virtualartshow #artshowopening #supportlocal See more

"Who Moved My Pear?" 58" x 60" by William D. Higginson We thought this artwork might be appropriate for what a lot of us are facing at the moment. It is much like being stuck in a maze with a blindfold on.... and will be one hell of a test of character. . .... . . . . . #surrealism #surrealart #oilpainting #oilonlinen #contemporarysurrealism #vancouverartist #australianartist #thoughtprovokingart See more

We are absolutely thrilled to have these two paintings returned by a Good Samaritan Thank you everyone for the shares and support. You are the reason we were able to find these pieces. Check out the @globalbc news segment for the full story.

"BENJAMINS BALLOON" by William D. Higginson 48" x 48", Oil on Canvas Every day he walks the same way to work, a cog in routines wheel, turning in its appointed orbit...but today is different. ... He doesnt know why he grabbed the balloon as it floated past, where it came from, or where it is going. He instinctively grabbed it, because that is the nature of passing balloons - you either grab them, or you dont. Today, he did. Now he rides the vagaries of the wind, higher and higher. So far from the ground. But that is the nature of freedom - it brings risk. Jettisoning his daily freight, he rises higher still, leaving behind the world below, turning in its appointed orbit. . . . . . #Art #Artist #Artwork #Instaart #Instaartist #Acrylic #Painting #Canvas #Creative #Paintings #Instaartwork #vancouverartist #surrealist #surrealism #contemporarysurrealism #contemporarysurrealist #contemporarysurrealistartist #canadianartist #australianartist #clouds #dreams

**UPDATE** Two of the paintings have now been returned by a Good Samaritan. The paintings by Jolayne Devente and Donna Giraud are now safely back in the gallery. A huge thank you to everyone who shared this post and gave their support. You helped make this happen ART THEFT ALERT ... On Easter Sunday night, someone broke into our gallery in Yaletown and stole 3 artworks and thousands of dollars worth of art supplies. We know that the chances of finding them are slim, but wed appreciate anyone who can keep an eye out for these three paintings. If you have any information, please email our gallery at [email protected], or message us directly on Facebook or Instagram.
