AUTUMN STREETS
Leanne M. Christie at Van Dop Gallery
Van Dop Gallery is pleased to present new works by Leanne M. Christie, a Vancouver-based painter whose practice investigates urban infrastructure and metropolitan transformation. Known for her distinctive approach to urban oil painting, Christie transforms the architectural and psychological complexities of city environments into works that are both technically accomplished and conceptually layered.
Her canvases, developed through a rigorous studio practice and daily cycling explorations of Vancouver’s neighbourhoods, reveal shifting atmospheres, structural tensions, and the human imprint on changing urban spaces. Christie’s work captures the evolving geography of the city, balancing painterly precision with an openness that invites reflection on how collective decisions shape the environments we inhabit.
Leanne M. Christie will be in attendance at Van Dop Gallery from 1–4pm to meet visitors and share insight into her process and latest paintings.
