Elizabeth Zvonar: Art Alley
November 30, 2023 - December 31, 2024
Art Alley
Mounted to the façade of Pelissier Street Parking Garage and visible from Ouellette Avenue is a reproduction of an artwork by Vancouver-based artist Elizabeth Zvonar. Old Happy shows the turn-of-the-century car that won the Great Automobile Race of 1895 between Bordeaux and Paris. Zvonar is known for her large-scale works in collage, which she meticulously builds and then prints as large-scale, seamless images. Old Happy, presented on a parking garage near the river separating two automotive manufacturing centres, is a tongue-in-cheek nod to our cities’ origins during a transformative shift in the sector.
