With historical minimalism bringing a new mode of expression, clarified from excess forms and colors, contemporary art found ways of incorporating it in novel ways with profound rethinking about our surroundings and place in the world.
Havoc Hendricks combines these learnings with his unique vision of the world, described as detailed minimalism. The artist, represented by Whistler Contemporary Gallery, uses minimalism in form, but all other aspects of his work include a deep engagement with the world surrounding him.
Former Whistlerite Desirée Patterson has, over the course of her career, landed on a nexus between art and environmentalism to create compelling and urgent narratives around the degradation we hear about so frequently these days.

The Whistler Contemporary gallery not only features established contemporary artists, but is also a champion of emerging voices.

Nestled in between the bases of the Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, the bustling outdoor adventure mecca of Whistler is one of the world’s most sought-after enclaves for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and nature-communing. In the heart of this vibrant community north of Vancouver, British Columbia, is Whistler Contemporary Gallery, a one-stop shop for established and emerging contemporary artists from around the world.
Best known as a world class skiing destination, the Canadian resort town of Whistler, located 120 kilometres north of Vancouver, offers plenty of activities and attractions away from the snowy slopes, too. The town’s beating heart is its compact, chalet-style pedestrian village which buzzes with activity night and day during peak ski season. As well as its legendary aprés nightlife, here you’ll find upscale boutiques and several galleries featuring regional art.
In a year when the resort didn’t get to welcome its usual influx of international guests, the Four Seasons Whistler is taking a hyperlocal approach to its latest dining experience.
