The Roadshow Series: Edmonton painter Riki Kuropatwa’s new painting show explores a rather awesome subject.
She explains, “I began to focus exclusively on Antiques Roadshow. The show is always presented the same way — people bring their precious objects to a team of experts who then offer insight and information. Often, there is a deferential relationship between the owner and the expert. But, there is also animosity, defiance and other strong emotions that occur between the two.
“The roadshow offers an ideal place to explore the psychosocial drama of human interaction. As I continue to work with this subject, I find myself shifting focus from the specifics of the interactions to the universal experiences we have as social creatures. It is particularly interesting to be focused on group and crowd images during this time of necessary and prolonged social isolation.”
