Last Friday, over at the Art Gallery of Calgary, a group exhibition featuring the talents of Eric Louie, Pilar Mehlis, Landon-Jon Ference and Heather Watts opened up that put the focus of the world of pop surrealism. One of the paintings that caught our eye in particular was from Watts entitled Tree of Life. In it, you can see a circle of children attempting to protect this special tree with their imagination from the bleak surrounding and encroaching landscape.

Those in the area should stop by to support some local Canadian artists, but for those who aren’t able, take some more detailed looks at this piece above after the jump…

Discuss Heather Watts here.
