We’re thrilled to present “One Day,” an extraordinary exhibition by Jeff Hallbauer at Lobby Gallery, located on the ground floor of Three Bentall Center in downtown Vancouver.
Hallbauer’s work transforms the traditional art-viewing experience into an active, participatory event. By engaging with these pieces, you become part of the artwork itself, highlighting the collaborative nature of perception and imagination.
Exhibition Highlights
“Psychic”: This 7 ft neon pink monochrome masterpiece captures your attention immediately. Layered with acrylic wash, it vibrates with a pulsating energy, transcending its physical dimensions and connecting with the viewer’s inner psyche. It’s a stunning example of color affect that goes beyond the canvas.
“Cat” and “Dog” Diptych: These playful paintings draw inspiration from children’s connect-the-dot drawings. By leaving the images incomplete, Hallbauer invites viewers to mentally finish the figures, transforming them into collaborators in the creative process.
Dichromatic Installation: Featuring ten paintings rendered in optically-charged color pairs, each circle is numbered from 1 to 10. Together, they form a large-scale abstraction. Like “Cat” and “Dog,” these pieces encourage viewer participation, asking you to connect the dots across canvases and experience an invisible composition in your mind.
List of Works
“Psychic”, acrylic on canvas, 84” x 54”
“Cat”, oil on canvas, 36” x 48”
“Dog”, oil on canvas, 36” x 48”
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10”, acrylic on canvas, 8” x 10” each
Visit the Exhibition
Join us at Lobby Gallery to explore this unique blend of color, form, and interaction. “One Day” is not just an exhibition; it’s an invitation to engage with art in new and exciting ways.
About the Artist
JEFF HALLBAUER is an interdisciplinary painter based on the unceded and traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Watuth Nations, Vancouver. Notable exhibitions include “Weird Kid” at Deluge Contemporary Art, “Fruits” at Chernoff Fine Art, and “Towards a Fictional History of Colour” at Burrard Arts Foundation. In 2023, he completed a six-month residency as part of the Kölnischer Kunstverein studio program in Cologne, Germany, as well as the Similkameen Artist Residency. In 2022, he had a solo exhibition cultivated from a three-month residency in
Bonn, Germany at Das Esszimmer. In 2020, he collaborated with Swiss artist Dawn Nilo’s performance, “Performing Negotiations” as part of the 2020 Swiss Art Awards; the same year, he also participated in Avram Finkelstein’s flash collective experiment in political art-making, which screened at the Grunt Gallery Community Screen. His paintings have been acquired by corporate and private collections across Canada and worldwide. He is currently working on a solo presentation of his work at Art Cologne in November.
Opening reception: Friday, July 26, 5-7 PM

In celebration of PRIDE Week in Vancouver, co-sponsors, Bentall Centre and Downtown Van brings back annual interactive, musical art installation, Step With Me
The public art piece plays musical tones when the “keys” on the staircase are stepped on. Step With Me is located at the Burrard Benches at 555 Burrard Street.
MUSIC, DANCE, AND PLAY HAVE BROUGHT US TOGETHER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME. WHILE WE CAN TALK, PROMOTE AND ELEVATE ACCEPTANCE AND INCLUSION, THERE ARE NOT THAT MANY PLACES WHERE WE CAN EXERCISE IT. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE GATHERING IN A SETTING WHERE WE CAN LOSE OURSELVES IN THE MOMENT, WHERE WE CAN MAKE MUSIC, DANCE, AND BE SILLY. AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO WE ARE OR WHAT OUR PREFERENCES ARE. WHEN IT IS TIME TO HAVE FUN AND EXPRESS OURSELVES, WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR DIVERSE HUMANITY. STEP WITH ME IS OUR INVITATION TO HAVE FUN, BE FOOLISH, AND CELEBRATE. THIS IS OUR WAY OF CHALLENGING YOU TO BE IN THE MOMENT, NO MATTER HOW WE PRESENT OURSELVES, TO ACCEPT OURSELVES AND OTHERS, AND TO BE PROUD OF WHO WE ARE.
