When will we be free?
A large-scale work by Vancouver-based conceptual artist Ian Wallace, *When will we be free?* combines photo-laminate and acrylic on canvas to merge photographic imagery with fields of painted color. The piece exemplifies Wallace's signature approach of blending documentary realism with the formal language of abstraction, questioning the boundaries between art, politics, and lived experience. The provocative title lends the work an urgent, open-ended tension that invites viewers to reflect on themes of liberation, agency, and collective longing.
