Vancouver Artist Scott Plear Completes Major Commission for Corporate Client Bentall LP

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
Vancouver artist Scott Plear has just completed a major commission for
Bentall LP, one of North America's leading real estate advisory and
service organizations.

The abstract painting was installed earlier this month in the lobby of
1075 West Georgia Street in Vancouver, British Columbia, where it can be
viewed by the public.

The painting, titled Thermal Core, is a stunning work measuring 17 feet
by 8 feet. Thermal Core is painted in acrylic and was composed over a
period of 5 months.

"When undertaking a commission like this," said Plear, "It's important
that you get it right. Before I began work on the painting itself, I
discussed in detail with Bentall their needs not only for the work, but
also for the space where it would be hanging. Then I painted several
mock-ups, which Bentall viewed, and I made adjustments. Once we had
agreement on the format, I started to work on the painting itself."

Thermal Core is a blend of magentas and purple reds, offset with bands of
blue, yellow, and orange. It lights up the lobby of 1075 West Georgia,
which was designed by architect Arthur Erickson. Prior to Plear's work
being installed, the lobby was home to a work by artist Jack Shadbolt,
which has since been purchased by a private collector.

Another major commission by Plear, Alberta Aurora, can be seen at
Livingston Place (West Tower) 250 2nd Street SW in Calgary, Alberta. That
work measures 15 feet by 9 feet, and marked the beginning of Plear's
involvement with large-scale works for public places.

Scott Plear is a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and has
exhibited his work in Canada, the United States, and in the United
Kingdom. He has operated Scott Plear Studio for more than 30 years, and
is an art instructor at Langara College in Vancouver, British Columbia.
