Maya Frodeman Gallery is pleased to present No Dress Rehearsal, a solo exhibition with artist Bobbie Burgers, on view at the gallery's downtown location from December 19th, 2025 through February 8th, 2026. An artist reception will be held Friday, December 19th from 5 to 7pm. All are welcome to attend.
Known for explorations of color, materiality, and form, Bobbie Burgers expands her established painterly language into an environment of illusion in No Dress Rehearsal. The exhibition centers on Burgers’ trust in immediacy – the instinctive act of making without premeditation. Each work begins as an unplanned gesture, an improvisation in acrylic, oil bar, spray paint, pastel, or collage that unfolds through intuition rather than planning. “Every piece is a leap of faith,” Burgers writes. “There is no perfect run-through, no fixed script – only the act of creation itself, immediate and irretrievable.”
Bobbie Burgers is a Canadian artist known for her vibrant, process-driven explorations of color, gesture, and abstraction. Trained at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design with a BA in Art History from the University of Victoria, she has exhibited widely across Canada, the United States, and abroad, including recent shows at Equinox Gallery (Vancouver), Nicholas Metivier Gallery (Toronto), and Caldwell Snyder Gallery (California). Her work is held in numerous private and corporate collections, among them Global Affairs Canada, the Royal Bank of Canada, and Emaar Properties. Burgers lives and works in Vancouver.
