'The Throwback' was an extraordinary event curated by Art Rapture and held for just one day at the iconic Ironworks building in Vancouver. This one-of-a-kind experience paid homage to the masters of the past while celebrating the boundless creativity of today's artists.⁠

Guests to the iconic Ironworks location found themselves in a 3,000-square-foot location with 15-foot ceilings, creating the perfect backdrop for the exquisite artwork. ⁠
⁠
Carefully crafted by over 15 exceptional artists (paintings, photography, sculpture, digital), who have drawn inspiration from the masterpieces that shaped art history, the selection included the captivating works of Andy Dixon and Ola Volo to the mesmerizing creations of Bracken Hanuse Corlett and William D. Higginson. The event also included a special exhibit featuring Rembrandt, Picasso, and Hockney.⁠

EPPICH HOUSE II ☆ FOLIO.YVR ☆ ISSUE #20 ⁠

Introducing Eppich House II, the iconic Arthur Erickson-designed family residence �in West Vancouver's British Properties on 1.18-acres, a masterpiece crafted of steel and glass that extends into the natural landscape. ⁠
⁠
Timelessly designed in 1979 and completed in 1988, the home at 1056 Groveland Road is named after the Hugo Eppich family, who originally commissioned and have since restored this monumental piece of architecture with its distinctive curved glass brick windows and chrome-plated steel columns.⁠
⁠
Of significant influence on the �Eppich House II design was a woman named Cornelia Hahn Oberlander (1921-2021). She had a passion and purpose to create environmental works that recognized the importance of intertwining the man-made with nature.⁠
