The Diane Farris Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of paintings and drawings by Chris Woods.

This new series of fourteen paintings, entitled The Stations of the Cross, was commissioned by a private patron for St. David's Anglican Church in Vancouver. To illuminate Woods' development of this traditional theme within a contemporary context preparatory drawings and related material have been included in the exhibition.

In his last body of work Chris Woods examined the subtle effects of consumerism on the individual as a reflection of its effect on society as a whole. His depiction of suburban locales and the people who live within them (generally his friends) were infused with both parody and realism. Woods has now applied his unique style to the Stations of Cross.
