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 opening 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. Burgers has shown work internationally in Sweden, China and the across the US, recently at the Dallas and Toronto Art Fairs. Today, her works are in many notable collections, including Global Affairs Canada, the Royal Bank of Canada, Vancouver General Hospital, Nordstrom’s New York and Norwegian Cruise Lines. This exhibition is running concurrently to a museum show of primarily works on paper and wall sculptures at the Burnaby Art Gallery in Vancouver, which is an extension of the body of work present in No Dress Rehearsal.
