Gun

Douglas Coupland (1961 –)

Douglas Coupland: Canadian novelist & visual artist exploring Gen X, digital culture & modern life. Known for QR code art, sculptures & thought-provoking pieces exhibited globally.

Vancouver Art Gallery (Vancouver, Canada)

Home to an unparalleled collection of Emily Carr's masterpieces and world-class photography, the Vancouver Art Gallery offers a profound journey through Canadian and international art that invites you to explore its beauty.

In the Dead Grads series, Coupland has appropriated high school yearbook photos and darkened the images so that they are barely visible. These blackened portraits pay sombre tribute to those whose lives were cut short in youth, with the titles of the works—Gun, Car Crash, Overdose—stating the tragic means of their deaths. At the core of Coupland
