Subduction Zone -- mountain paintings by Vancouver's David Pirrie, up right now at the Verge Gallery, just across Main Street from the bookstore. "I think you'd really like these," said Sylvia when she saw them last year in Pirrie's Strathcona studio, and now, having finally laid eyes on them, I'm glad to say I do. Photorealistic at first glance, not at all upon closer inspection, heavily indebted to 3D modelling and stereographic air photography. Contemporary painting in the term's best sense, and far better than the mannered and none-too-successful figurative paintings also up as part of Pirrie's web portfolio.
