Juss Kaur’s “Unfolding Consciousness" opening reception is incredibly well timed – with Vaisaikhi just a few days before the opening and two Nagar Kirtans in the Lower Mainland, which celebrate the founding of the Sikh community known as the Khalsa. 
“The ultimate goal I wish to accomplish is to hint at the illusionary nature of our world, while at the same time subtly implying that the universal spirit surrounds us,” says Kaur. 
Each of her awe-inspiring paintings contain up to 20,000 Wahegurus – a mantra in reference to the Almighty God; the Creator; the Supreme Soul; the Sustainer; etc. ‘Wah’ means infinite, ‘hay’ means Thou, and ‘guroo’ means Higher Self (the Divine Teacher within you) and is similar in essence to Allah-Hu or Om.
The Kenyan-born artist holds a Doctor of Philosophy from Oxford University and has been residing in Montreal, Quebec for over thirty years. The artist never explicitly explains the meaning of her distinctive paintings, as she prefers to leave audiences in a sense of wonder to arrive at their own conclusions.
Juss Kaur’s artwork invites viewers to interpret the particle nature of the universe portrayed through vibrant colours with a style that has its origins in Pointillism. This technique uses a dot pattern to create the composition of an image.  
The opening reception takes place on Friday, April 17 from 6PM to 9PM. Her artwork will continue to be showcased April 18 to 23, from 11AM to 6PM (daily) at The Beaumont Studio, located at 316 West 5th Vancouver, BC
All Profits from "Unfolding Consciousness" will go to the charity 'Doctors without Borders' www.doctorswithoutborders.org
