Richmond: Public art plays with perception
Motorists and pedestrians heading south on Minoru Boulevard toward Granville Avenue this week may have noticed a giant bookshelf following them.
The optical illusion is the handy work of contemporary British artists Patrick Hughes, who lives and works in London.
His creation, Doors of Knowledge, is the latest work to be installed in Richmond as part of the Vancouver International Biennale. It has found a temporary home in the grassy area outside the Minoru Seniors Centre. Doors of Knowledge consists of 24 wooden panels, each measuring seven feet high by three feet wide. Hughes has painted a partially open door on one side, and a bookshelf stacked with colourful books on the other side of each panel.
