Vancouver art scene legend Ken Gerberick sadly passed away in January 2021. Ken had been an assemblage artist and automotive historian in Vancouver since 1984. I met Ken and photographed him in his studio space at 268 Keefer Street as part of my Vancouver Artists in Studio portrait project. Despite being a living legend in the Vancouver art scene, Ken was as humble and patient a photo subject as one could hope for—a pleasure to work with and a gentleman through and through. Ken’s work and artist roots go back to the late 1960s and he was featured in McLean’s Magazine, the Globe & Mail, the Georgia Straight and several documentary films. Shortly after Ken’s passing I was honoured to be asked to photograph Ken’s collection and museum space in Vancouver’s Railtown. I’ve included a number of these photos below with permission of Ken’s partner Janis.
