Mark Rucker's The Alterpiece will be on display in Kelowna from Nov. 19-24.

Kelowna's Rotary Centre for the Arts will debut Mark Rucker's The Alterpiece in its Alternator Centre for Contemporary Arts on Nov. 19. 

The piece, a contemporary version of a Medieval triptych, was completed in Peachland in 2021, 35 years after the piece was first started. 

Rucker's work was inspired by German artist Mathias Grunewald. 

Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥œGrunewaldÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s masterpiece was created in the early16th Century, not so much a work of art as regarded by art historians, but as a medical, healing device, which was much needed in that day and age," said Rucker. 

The piece will be on display from Nov. 19-24. Rucker will be available throughout the week to discuss the work.
