As you walk closer to the paintings displayed in 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘪𝘦: 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴, thousands and thousands of individual colorful dots come into focus.

While investigating brain imaging and medical diagnostics, Mackenzie noticed striking structural similarities between geographic landscapes and the human body. In her works, although they are abstract, Mackenzie uses dots to represent microscopic and macroscopic scales, and the systems that connect them. Dots can represent nodes in neural networks, distant stars in a chart, a city on a map, a single cell of an organ, floating droplets that carry viruses in the air that surround us, or the continuous flow of data and noise in the digital network.

What changes when you move closer to a painting, farther away, or can walk around it?

In 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘪𝘦: 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴, distance becomes part of the experience.
From farther away, the paintings can be seen as expansive fields of colour, movement, and atmosphere. Move closer, and smaller details such as layers, textures, marks, and traces of the process begin to emerge. Moving around the suspended 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 #4 (16 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘵) (2022), offers other perspectives, revealing the work’s edges and exposing the typically unseen reverse side of her linen.

𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘪𝘦: 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴 reflect the transition between the macro and the micro that shifts with our perspective from larger world to the small details held within it.

The sides where the linen canvas wraps around the frame are visible on both paintings, with multicoloured dots of paint scattered about. On the back wall to the left, hangs Weather Pattern #1 (Mouse), a multicolor dotted painting with a mainly burgundy and light brown undertone with hints of teal dots. To the right, hangs Weather Pattern #10 (Red Tide), another multicoloured dotted painting with a brown undertone edge that fades into a lighter, centre, with prominent green complimentary dots throughout. The gallery floor is grey and the walls are white.

Landon Mackenzies' interest in interconnected systems is central to many of her artworks. Her paintings echo complex, dynamic systems that are not isolated in one canvas and disconnected from the outside world but are grounded and interact with a larger system or pattern outside of it.

Every dot can be a cell, a microorganism under a microscope, a neuron, a town or coordinate on a map, a star in the galaxy or a single bit of data.

What does weather look like when it becomes an abstract experience?

In her series 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯, Landon Mackenzie uses layers of colour, texture and movements, capturing the changing nature of weather. But not everything in the paintings is completely controlled, and the paintings are exposed to an outdoor natural environment during summer. Chance, weather, and unexpected outcomes become part of the process, allowing materials, movements, and experimentation to shape what happens on the surface of the paintings.

The result is not a literal representation of weather, but an abstract experience of its energy, movement, and unpredictability.

To the left of the woman, hangs Weather Pattern #10 (Red Tide), another multicloured dotted painting with a brown undertoned edge that fades into a lighter centre, complimented by bright green dots scattered about. The gallery floor is grey and the walls are white.

Meet the artist behind the work: Angie Quintanilla Coates

Angie Quintanilla Coates is a visual artist born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico. She lives and works in Port Moody, bringing her vibrant view on art and life to the Tri-Cities. Coates’s work is deeply influenced by her cultural heritage and personal journey. Her approach to colour and design nods to her Mexican roots, and she sees her practice as an invitation for anyone who needs it to get a dose of what she likes to call 𝘥𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢.

Coates’s site-specific artwork, adapted from her painting 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘐𝘴 𝘢 𝘒𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘦 (2024), in on view on our studio window at Evergreen Arts until August 2028.

How often do you visit a gallery and get to see not only the painted surface, but also the back of the painting?

In 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘪𝘦: 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴, two paintings are suspended in the centre of the gallery, allowing visitors to experience both sides of a sixteen-foot painting. This installation echoes Mackenzie’s process of layering paint, while also revealing traces of the environment in which the work was made.

As you move through the gallery, the reverse of 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 #4 (16 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘵) (2022) comes into view. Paint has seeped through the weave of the linen, creating a secondary work of art. Rather than focusing on the finished work, the installation makes the process part of what we see, revealing how the painting, the material, and surroundings come together.

In the middle of the gallery hangs Weather Pattern #2 (Rain), suspended from grey pipes from the exposed pipe ceiling, and supported by wood and cement blocks underneath. Overshadowing behind, hangs the backside of Weather Pattern #4 (16 Feet), with its grid-patterned wooden frame, unhemmed canvas edges, and soaked through dots of paint on the predominately blank backside. On the left wall, hangs Weather Pattern #10 (Red Tide), a multicoloured dotted painting with an overall burgundy-orange ombre edge, fading into a lighter centre, and small complimentary green dots throughout. On the right wall, hangs Weather Pattern #6 (Stripes+Tides), another multicoloured dotted painting, with large prominent orange and dark blue horizontal stripes. The gallery walls and ceiling are white, and the floor is grey.

Landon Mackenzie’s first Weather Pattern painting, 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 #1 (𝘔𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦), was created on Prince Edward Island, where the artist stapled river-soaked linen to her cottage’s wooden porch and applied an array of colours in experimental methods. Afterwards, the work was rolled and shipped to her Vancouver studio, where the artist meticulously added to, and completed, the painting.

Mackenzie wondered if the conditions of this bi-coastal painting conditions could be engineered in the studio. The result of this experimentation was 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 #2 (𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘯)—the only painting in the exhibition created entirely in the artist’s Vancouver studio.

Like so many artists, for every rule Mackenzie sets for herself, there is always an exception. Since this experiment with Rain, Mackenzie has continued her series in collaboration with the weather.

𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘪𝘦: 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴 is on view at The Gallery at Evergreen Arts from September 5-November 22, 2026.

To Landon Mackenzie, fabric stubbornly holds onto memory and record.

Mackenzie’s first entry in her ongoing 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 painting series was realized during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finding refuge on Prince Edward Island, Mackenzie uncovered linen and painting materials stashed away in her family’s cottage cellar. With these materials, Mackenzie began to experiment with her art—incorporating the elements of weather and chance with her methodological painting practice.

One of the Belgian linen cloths she unearthed ended up being a home to a mouse that lived in its folds throughout the previous winter. This linen carried residual memory of the mouse’s entire life that stayed in the fabric—even after Mackenzie vigorously washed the linen..

Once the painting from this piece of linen emerged, Mackenzie decided to title the work 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 #1 (𝘔𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦) — paying tribute to the little creature that fatefully inspired what would become an ongoing large- scale painting project.

𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘪𝘦: 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴 is on view at The Gallery at Evergreen Arts from September 5-November 22, 2026.
