Scott Plear Studio
This is an excerpt
from the blog of Pamela Third...
…That very day, there was
a picture in one of our daily newspapers of
a new piece of public art called
Persian Wall in the downtown
area, and I decided to track it down after work. I had more trouble
finding the piece than I expected (the short article accompanying the picture
provided just the name of the building where it was located, and the
street, West Georgia), so I dropped into the lobby of an office building on
West Georgia, where I could see from outside that there was an attendant on
duty, to get some help with directions. Once I was inside the lobby,
I came upon this stunning painting–that few were likely to know
about other than those who work in, or otherwise enter, the building.
That’s me reflected in the metal plate, below, taking a picture
with my phone of the plate, since it had on it basic information about the
painting, including the name of the piece and the artist. (Taking a snap
is so much easier than writing down such information.) When I wanted
to find out more about the piece, Vancouver’s Public Art Registry
provided no assistance, which I initially assumed
was because the piece isn’t owned by the City; but I did, eventually,
find the information I was seeking in a press release on
Marketwire.com, a business
website. Additional information about the artist, Scott Plear, is
available on
his website.
