Style meets substance at Kurbatoff Gallery (to Mar. 31), where feature artists include BC native Blu Smith. His work delves into abstraction with pieces such as “Illusion of Substance” (pictured) that find their beginnings in charcoal on paper and end with confident strokes of acrylic on canvas. Smith is known for bold colour and subtle texture that convey depth and invite interpretation.—Jill Von Sprecken
