David Pirrie is an artist who reveres the mountains, dating back to childhood scrambles with his brother in British Columbia’s coastal range on Vancouver’s North Shore. Stone Canvases, his latest exhibition, is at Ian Tan Gallery through March 30.

As for the dots . . . “My use of bright monochromatic colors and dot overlay draws aesthetic and conceptual comparisons to Pop Art, implicating these colossal stone figures in the pop culture lexicon.”

Interesting, but I think I’d like them better without the multiple dots. Guess I’m old school.
I tend to think as you do. I don’t think it’s necessarily old school. I think it’s more personal taste.
Yes. I don’t see the “art” in putting dots on paintings. For the most part, I like paintings that look natural, but I also enjoy surrealistic paintings like those done by Hieronymus Bosch.
