Douglas CouplandBeautiful BC

Beautiful BC is an exhibition of landscape paintings on canvas created by Douglas Coupland over the past two years.

Coupland says, “My father leased floatplanes out of Coal Harbour in the 1970s and 80s. On weekends, we’d fly up the coast and into BC’s interior and the Yukon. I was too young to understand what an astonishing experience that was, or how much it shaped the way I see the landscape. These paintings honour that part of my life.”

He adds, “It’s easy to forget what an amazing part of the world we live in.”

Coupland’s bold, unmistakable painting technique builds on work exhibited in 2024 at Arsenal Gallery in New York’s Tribeca neighbourhood.
