Retired Canucks legend ‘King’ Richard Brodeur opens B.C. art gallery
The gallery will showcase Brodeur’s hockey-themed paintings and work by about six other artists, while hosting classes, paint nights and exhibitions.
- Former Vancouver Canucks goalie Richard Brodeur will open Gallery 35 on May 30 at 129 Alberni Hwy in Parksville, featuring his work alongside pieces from half a dozen other artists.
- While playing in the NHL and WHA, Brodeur kept his artistic pursuits private to avoid professional aggravation, though he remains known for his 1982 Stanley Cup Final heroics.
- Influenced by artist Claude Picher, Brodeur specializes in nostalgic paintings of backyard rinks and recalls simpler times, stating, "Yeah, I remember it was like that when I was young."
- Gallery 35 will host classes, paint nights, and exhibitions for the community, with Brodeur noting the venue will remain active year-round beyond the summer tourist season.
- Settling in Parksville allows Brodeur to work near his son, Dan Brodeur, after years of traveling for his art; "I'm really happy to be back," he said of the transition.
