BRAD PHILLIPS grew up in the Toronto suburb of Pickering, where he lived in the shadow of a nuclear power plant. The Western Canada finalist in the 2004 RBC Investments Canadian Painting Competition says this early environment still informs his art, including his recent landscape paintings. “I'm attempting to convey a sense of unease, or potential Brad Phillips: threat,” says Phillips. “I want to recreate some of the experiences der zauberer, 2003, I had growing up in the suburbs, where being different than the oil on canvas, status quo made one an obvious target.

A new arts publishing house in Toronto called the Magenta Foundation is hoping to become Canada’s portal to the international arts scene. In what it calls a first-of-its-kind venture in Canada, Magenta will initially publish four photography books to establish itself as an arts brand. The not-for-profit foundation is seeking collaboration with galleries interested in hosting exhibitions in conjunction with its book launches. More at http://www.magentafoundation.org.

With 3,160 visual artists out of a total of 24,080 artists, British Columbia has the largest percentage of its labour force of any province (1.13 per cent) in arts occupations, according to Artists in Canada’s Provinces, Territories and Metropolitan Areas, a report prepared by Hamilton-based Hill Strategies Research. There are 1,390 visual artists in Alberta and 720 in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The report also found that with average earnings of $23,500, artists are in the lowest quarter of average earnings of all occupation groups. Visual artists fare even worse, with 2001 average
light or considered perspective, to recreate that tension.” Phillips received his visual arts diploma from the Toronto School of Art in 1999 and completed an interdisciplinary program at the Ontario College of Art and Design in 1995. “My paintings function on two levels,” he says. “Traditional landscape paintings for people who have never had any untoward experiences in the hinterland, and paintings that function as memento mori, or locations from unwritten horror movies, for people who've been beaten up for reading a novel on their lunch break or for being suspiciously thin or articulate. In this sense I hope my paintings can function as doppelgangers or evil twins of their own apparent superficial appearance.“ Since moving to Vancouver, Phillips continues to work on outsider themes and suburban dangers. “I don't know that the change in location has affected my www.gallerieswest.ca

Suburbs are, by their very nature, interchangeable and identical – that’s why they can be so emotionally stultifying.“ Phillips has done paintings recently of Kelly Ellard, the Victoria girl who was tried for murdering her schoolmate. “Suburban dislocation, adolescent angst and anti-social behaviour are constant inspirations,” he says. – Beverly Cramp Represented by: Monte Clark Gallery, Vancouver; Greener Pastures Contemporary Art, Toronto, and othergallery, a nomadic web-based gallery run by Paul Butler in Winnipeg.

In the Canadian contemporary art world the Toronto International Art Fair has become an essential event, and Western Canada’s top art galleries were well represented at the fifth annual four-day art extravaganza last fall. Booked to capacity with 83 Canadian and international dealers, a crowded Metro Toronto Convention Centre saw more than 600 pieces sold, a 22 per cent increase from the previous year. Canmore’s Doug Maclean, who attended as an independent art dealer, says that galleries from the west come despite receiving little or no funding support. “The galleries do a great job, and should be complimented for their work. It’s a great effort on their part,” he says. “I would like to see a public/government effort to support these people and their galleries possibly with a marketing budget or travel assistance plan.” Maclean, who owns www.canadianartgallery.com, says works that stood out for him included Dean Dreever at othergallery and Douglas Udell Gallery, Kim Ouellette at othergallery, Ron Moppett at TrépanierBaer, Geoffrey Farmer at Catriona Jeffries, and Liz Magor and Gordon Smith at Equinox Gallery. 4

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS Many art galleries and museums in Alberta and Saskatchewan are preparing special exhibitions in 2005 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the provinces. However, a spokesperson in the Alberta Centennial Office told Galleries West magazine in November that her office was not aware of any centennial celebrations in Alberta’s visual arts community. She also suggested that Galleries West magazine might want to start something. We think that’s a terrific idea. Here’s what we’ve found so far… A 13-day celebration of Alberta arts and artists in all disciplines will be held in Ottawa April 28 to May 10. During Alberta Scene more than 600 established and emerging Alberta artists will be at more than 95 events and 19 venues across the national capital region. Presented by Canada's National Arts Centre, the event will include a major exhibition of works by Alberta artists along with three exhibitions under the theme of Landscapes of Alberta and Saskatchewan in celebration of the centennial of both provinces. An Art Bank on the Mezzanine exhibit dedicated to works by contemporary artists from Alberta will be curated by the Canada Council Art Bank from its collection. As well, organizers are working with artistrun centres in Alberta and the national capital region to create more programming, and commercial galleries in the Ottawa area that represent Alberta artists or have works by Alberta artists are being invited to display these works. A preview of the Alberta Craft Council contribution to Alberta Scene, entitled All About Alberta: land, people, history & culture, runs January 8 to April 2 at 12 Galleries West Spring 2005
Mark Neufeld, a 32-year-old painting student in the master of fine arts program at the University of Victoria, has won the inaugural $25,000 Joe Plaskett Foundation Award.

Neufeld plans to travel to Berlin after graduating this spring.

To celebrate the 2005 Saskatchewan Centennial the provincial government has designated funding for a large mural by Roger Jerome, a Métis artist from Air Ronge. Intended to reflect the experiences of indigenous peoples of northern Saskatchewan, the painting will be installed in the Saskatchewan Legislative Building and unveiled in May during the Royal visit to Saskatchewan by Her Majesty the Queen. Calgary’s Glenbow Museum is planning an $8.5 million permanent gallery tracing Alberta’s legendary tales and maverick personalities. Mavericks: An Incorrigible History of Alberta is scheduled to open in 2006/2007. The Glenbow will also explore Alberta’s lifeline in Our River: Journey of the Bow. This exhibition examining the geological, floral and faunal, cultural, historical, and artistic aspects of the Bow River runs February 19 to June 5. The Calgary Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists will host Art Fusion, an exhibition in honour of Alberta’s 100th anniversary May 6 to 13 at Gainsborough Galleries in Calgary, and at the Federation Gallery in Vancouver, May 24 to June 5. A Century Past: Refined Living in the New Alberta continues to September 30 at the Provincial Museum of Alberta in Edmonton. The show provides an opportunity to experience the lifestyle and tastes of an influential Alberta family through the fine art collection of John A. McDougall, a former mayor of Edmonton, and his son Edmund. Please send submissions for consideration in First Impressions to rod@gallerieswest.ca. www.gallerieswest.ca

PUBLIC ART FOR ’PEG Winnipeg may be embarking on a public art renaissance. The city has recently approved a new public art policy and allocated $500,000 a year in tax funds to display art in public places. As well, in November Mayberry Fine Art purchased and installed a life-size bronze horse by artist Joe Fafard on the sidewalk outside its Exchange District gallery. The sculpture depicting a young Appaloosa filly weighs more than 1,200 kilograms and cost $60,000. Gallery owner Bill Mayberry says he hopes more businesses will follow suit by exhibiting other works of art in the city’s public spaces.

IN MEMORIAM JOHN SNOW 1911 – 2004 Esteemed Calgary printmaker John Snow passed away in August at the age of 92. An integral member of the Calgary art community, Snow was recognized as one of the most inventive lithographers in the country. Employed by the Royal Bank of Canada for more than 40 years until his retirement in 1971, he was also known for his good counsel and generosity in helping many emerging artists achieve success. In the 1950s Snow acquired a litho press from the old Calgary Herald. He went on to produce more than 500 editions of lithographs and became much admired for his intense, jewel-like colours and his strong, simple forms. He also worked with drawing, painting and sculpture. Over the course of his career Snow received many awards. In 1996 he was the first artist to receive the Alberta Order of Excellence. He was the subject of a retrospective at the Edmonton Art Gallery in the late 1980s, and his work resides in collections across the country. Memorial exhibitions were held in his honour at Collector's Gallery and at the Alberta College of Art & Design. ACAD is also administering the John H. and Kathleen Snow Scholarship Fund. To contribute call Cindy Popovic at 403-284-6243.
BOB BOYER 1948 - 2004 Saskatchewan artist and educator Bob Boyer died in September after suffering a heart attack while dancing at a pow-wow in Nebraska. He was 56. During his career the Reginabased Boyer developed an international following as an educator, visual artist and pow-wow dancer. Born near Prince Albert in July 1948, Boyer graduated from the University of Regina in 1971 with a bachelor's degree in art education. Later he helped develop the fine arts program at Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (now First Nations University of Canada) in Regina, where he subsequently became its head. Primarily a painter, he also worked in sculpture and installation art, exhibited across North America in a variety of media, and curated a number of exhibitions. He was well-known for his "blanket statements" in which he used blankets as a canvas for painting traditional native and contemporary designs. Those blanket paintings often critiqued the treatment of aboriginal peoples.
HARRY HEINE 1928 - 2004 Harry Heine, one of Canada’s leading marine artists and the first Canadian to be admitted to the Royal Society of Marine Artists, died in Victoria in September after succumbing to a battle with cancer. He was 76. Renowned for his haunting watercolour interpretations of life on

Canada’s west coast, Heine's work is in many public galleries and collections including the Maritime Museum of British Columbia, the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum in England and Connecticut's Mystic Seaport Museum. He also painted marine murals including two in Chemainus, BC. Originally an Edmonton-based landscape painter and design firm owner, Heine painted his first ship after moving to Vancouver Island more than 30 years ago. In honour of his memory Heine’s family members – also painters of note – are planning a retrospective of his work in conjunction with Tall Ships Victoria 2005, which runs June 23 to 26.

ROY THOMAS 1949 – 2004 Roy Thomas, one of Canada’s most influential aboriginal artists, died in November in Thunder Bay after a four-year battle with cancer. He was 54. Born on a trap line in Ontario, Thomas grew up on a reserve. His grandmother encouraged him to express himself through art. After working a series of menial jobs as a teenager and struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, he turned to painting. He found success almost immediately, and painting became a lifelong passion. He believed his grandmother was present in all his paintings, and he honoured her by signing his works with a small crow, the name she had given him. Primarily a self-taught artist, he was known for his distinctive paintings of vibrantly coloured, totemic animals. Thomas worked in the Ojibwa woodland style, using symbolisms and imagery inspired by the pictographs that he saw as a child. Before his death he had numerous solo exhibitions and he participated in several international group shows. His work is represented in major art collections across Canada and in the US, Europe and Japan.
JONATHAN KNOWLTON 1937 - 2004 Jonathan Knowlton, a former professor of fine arts at the University of Alberta, died at home in Edmonton in August. He was 67. Born in New York City, Knowlton graduated from Yale with a Bachelor Untitled, 2003, watercolour, of Fine Arts degree and from the gouache and ink on paper, University of California’s Berkeley 12" x 16". campus with a master's degree. After studying printmaking and painting in Paris, he came to the U of A in 1966 to help establish the printmaking department. Later he won acclaim for a series of watercolour paintings of atomic bomb blasts. He was also known for his postmodern oil and watercolour paintings, including life-like street scenes reflected through store windows and reproductions of Harley-Davidson motorcycle engines. His work is represented in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the University of California Berkeley Art Museum, the University of Alberta Art Gallery, the Edmonton Art Gallery, the Alberta Art Foundation and the Petro-Canada, Syncrude and Imperial Oil collections. Knowlton suffered from bipolar disorder, a manic-depressive condition that for many years interfered with his ability to work. He retired from teaching in 2002.

MOHAMED (MOHD) SHAKEEL
RICHARD HUNT
ALBERTA: Spring 2005, Banyan Tree
Spirit Wrestler Gallery, Vancouver
Gallery, Edmonton
After more than two years working on a collection of traditional and contemporary pieces in mixed media, First Nations carver Richard Hunt is ready to show his latest work. Hunt comes from a long line of West Coast carvers that includes one of the most famous, his grandfather Martin Mungo. “I’m a traditional carver using different ideas,” says Hunt. “I’ve carved this flower blowing in the wind. The 15-inch body could be a stem and if you look closely, there are knees and, wrapped behind the back, arms. The top could be a sun with a face in the middle.” Hunt
As you stroll through The Banyan Tree Gallery, amid wrought iron furniture and fragrant incense and candles, a rainbow of dyed textiles leads to the luminous Moorish-arched door and window paintings of Mohd Shakeel. A 1991 graduate of northern India’s Chadigharh University, Shakeel has carved out an impressive international reputation complete with awards and corporate commissions. Born in Moradabad, a town famous for brass craft, to a master woodcarver father and embroiderer mother, Shakeel was profoundly influenced by the images around him. A prolific student, he sold pictures of popular landscapes, monuments or dancing Ganeshas to support his family through difficult times. That led to enduring and deeply personal subject matter for his paintings: ephemeral doorways and archetypal images of Persian architecture constructed through painstakingly applied layers of vibrant oil glazes which are then quickly deconstructed with solvent. Gravity carries off the dissolved pigment into umber rivulets of erosion and memory, acknowledging a world in which the seemingly eternal is crumbling. — Lee Bale Represented by: Banyan Tree Gallery, Edmonton

These new materials will be evident in his show, which includes his more familiar wooden masks and headdresses as well as a work in glass. Hunt learned from his father, Henry Hunt. “I’m refining what he did,” he says. And although Hunt is moving on with his own ideas, he puns, “I’m a chip off the old block.” — Beverly Cramp Represented by: Spirit Wrestler Gallery, Vancouver; Alcheringa Gallery, Victoria
PETER JOHN VOORMEIJ BRITISH COLUMBIA: Through Dutch Eyes, Jan 18-Feb 6, Elliott Louis Gallery, Vancouver
When he first came to Canada from the Netherlands in 1965, Peter John Voormeij was a young man trained in the realist schools of painting. The new forms of art he saw in Montreal and New York City quickly influenced him. “I was totally taken in by what people like de Kooning and Rothko were doing,” says Voomeij. “It really changed Peter John me. I began to believe that I could do more abstractly than through realism.” But Voormeij: Nootka Voormeij doesn’t regret having a strong foundation in realism. “It’s better to know Sound, 2004, acrylic what you are abstracting from before jumping into it,” he says. Voormeij acquired on canvas, 20" x 24" his Master of Arts degree in painting and printmaking from Concordia University where one of his instructors was the late British Columbia artist, Roy Kiyooka. Voormeij’s characteristically bold coloured canvases usually have strong themes as noted by their titles. “The titles are important because they lead the way into the painting,” he says. Voormeij currently works full time painting although he has taught art classes at the University of British Columbia and Langara College. — Beverly Cramp

CONRAD OUCHI ALBERTA: New Paintings, Jan 22-Feb 12, Paul Kuhn Gallery, Calgary
It makes sense that painter Conrad Ouchi has friends in the auto body business. His works on canvas and hardboard are burnished to a high gloss, almost an industrial finish. Ouchi has been experimenting for more than a year on bringing maximum shine to ordinary acrylics. The pieces in his most recent series are geometric reductions with depths depicted through layered foundations Conrad Ouchi: and light refracted through transparent pigments rendered in warm, sometimes Harmony Wheel Series surprising tones. Each piece references historic palettes in grid colour fields, evokNumber 1, 2004, ing art-school colour theory taken to the next level. Using a finish inspired by acrylic on canvas, 4' x 4' traditional Japanese lacquering technique, and modern, pixellated forms, he builds up his work and then meticulously carves it down to create an inviting, almost reflective finish. He gets it through six coats of gesso, a minimum of four applications of paint, and wet sanding between every layer with industrialgrade emery cloth (where those auto-industry friends come in). “Acrylic is so glorious on its own,” Ouchi says. “And this process just brings the quality of acrylic up to its maximum lustre.” — Jill Sawyer Ouchi’s work may be viewed at: www.conradouchi.com
ROBERT WILSON MANITOBA: Jan 6-Feb 11, with Herman de Vries, Craftspace, Winnipeg
Robert Wilson found his calling in turning wood that is still wet with life. Challenging himself with a difficult medium made even more complex by instability and inherent unpredictability because it is wet, Wilson fashions functional objects infused with rich beauty and organic sensibility. He uses local Manitoban wood sources, often searching out trees felled by a storm and incorporating a twisted beauty into his work through the inclusion of burls, bark and knots. Self-taught, Wilson has been woodturning for over 20 years, integrating colour and contrast with the addition of woodburned details, paints, dyes and metal work to further exploit the beauty of the wood’s cracks and flaws. At the Craftspace gallery this spring, Wilson exhibits with fellow Robert Wilson: Frondescence, woodturner Herman de Vries, another born Manitoban. turned wood enclosed vessel, — Janice Rosen pine, green with overlay copper leaf and tung oil

RICHARD COLE BRITISH COLUMBIA: The Forest, Jan 11-Mar 16, Lambert’s
JOHN MCKEE
Gallery, Vancouver
ALBERTA: Apr 1-23,
There are several key themes in Vancouver painter Richard Cole’s oil landscapes. There is the forest floor, which Cole likes to get close to in order to produce what he calls his “frozen moments of a nature walk.” Trees also figure prominently. “My trees are forever moving,” says Cole. “I use soft focus by creating a soft background, a sort of resting period for the eye, juxtaposed by sharp details in the foreground. This creates a sense of movement.” Another theme is water and how it moves across rocks. And there are his popular big skies. Cole has done many studies in gray to depict Vancouver’s moody weather. “They are very much about the West Coast climate and the atmosphere of living here,” he says. “They are about appreciating those grays, not just a blanket of gray. My palette is extensive and full of colour. The number of grays I use gives depth and space within the work.” — Beverly Cramp
Lando Gallery,
2004, oil on canvas,
John McKee, one of Canada’s senior impressionist painters, helped establish the genre of the large-scale western landscape. He is experiencing a fresh wave of discovery by a seasoned generation of art buyers newly enchanted by landscape, says Brent Leubke of John McKee: St. Paul Lando Gallery in Edmonton. McKee’s new work is Region Road to the indeed fresh and solid. This boy from St. Paul, Alberta, Lake, 2004, claimed his place as the painter of the classic prairie acrylic on canvas, road decades ago. An encounter with one of his rural 48" x 48" highway canvases is unforgettable for those who drive these isolated roads. McKee is an alchemist who transforms paint into black ice over glittering asphalt under a northern winter sky. These pictures, created from the veiled accretions of acrylic gel and wax, are hauntingly precise in their ability to define the moment and, as a whole, encompass a significant record of Western Canada’s landmarks. As McKee has lived, worked, taught and moved across this vast region he has enshrined the vistas that define it: golden prairie, foothill scrub, glaciated mountain, deep forest and coastal panorama. — Lee Bale

ALBERTA: Earth: where science becomes art, Jan 18-Apr 3, Calgary Science Centre, Calgary; opening Mar 19, Collector’s Gallery, Calgary
Bill Bragg
Calgary-based landscape painter Sharon Thirkettle has spent almost a year going in a whole new direction as an artist. Inspired by satellite images of the earth, Thirkettle has created more than 100 ceramic works for a collaborative exhibition that mixes art and earth sciences at the Calgary Science Centre. And to complement that show, she’ll bring some of her new discoveries into her landscapes for a solo show at Collector’s Gallery. “After working in a three-dimensional form for the past year, I’m interested in how to transfer

that into my painting,” Thirkettle says. “I’m working with more simplified shapes and forms, and a strength of colour, compared to what I used to paint.” Maintaining a strong sense of place, Thirkettle’s canvases have an abstract cast, taking the viewer into the high Arctic, to the coast of New Zealand, and just outside her door in the Alberta foothills. “Working in ceramics has slowed down my thought process,” she says. “I tended to be an intuitive, fast painter.” Now, she’s been able to take more time to fully absorb her feelings about a landscape and set it on canvas. — Jill Sawyer Represented by: Collector’s Gallery, Calgary; Westbridge Fine Art, Vancouver

Randolph T. Parker grew up in Huntsville, Ontario, and currently lives and works on Salt Spring Randolph Parker: Island, British Columbia. He began formal Mount Harris, 2004, art training at Mount Allison University in acrylic on canvas, 42" x 42" Sackville, New Brunswick, attended the Banff Centre, and followed this with the study of art criticism at York University, Toronto. Well known for his panoramic paintings inspired by the Canadian landscape, Parker works in oil, acrylic and watercolour. Expect to be drawn in to Parker’s paintings through his use of rich colour, inviting texture and well-developed sense of space. Parker has described his work as “taking a visual journey,” seen as a metaphor for life and its experiences. Over the past year, Parker was sponsored jointly by Mayberry Fine Art in Winnipeg and Masters Gallery in Calgary to produce 60 paintings. The resulting body of work was split up for simultaneous exhibition at both galleries this spring. His work is found in corporate collections throughout Canada and abroad, including Trimark Investment Inc., Vancouver; Suncor Inc., Calgary; Price Waterhouse, Edmonton; Malchy Grain Co., Geneva, Switzerland, and Wawanesa Insurance, Winnipeg. — Janice Rosen Represented by: Bau-xi Gallery, Vancouver; Masters Gallery, Calgary; Mayberry Fine Art, Winnipeg

ALBERTA: Douglas Haynes: The Toledo Series, Jan 22Feb 27, Edmonton Art Gallery, Edmonton. Also: Cadaqués: New Paintings, February, Virginia Christopher Fine Art, Calgary
Douglas Haynes believes the Toledo Series is his “most important body of work, whether or not it’s the best.” Virginia Christopher, his Calgary dealer since 1981, declares him to be “one of the most important and best abstract painters in Western Canada these days.” He is Edmonton’s senior abstract painter, Regina-born, educated at the Alberta College of Art & Design, and instructor of generations of painters at the University of Alberta. The two enormous vertical paintings from 1992, right and left of the main Edmonton City Hall staircase, are his. Travels in Europe exposed Haynes to the heroic scale, drama and storytelling flair of painters like El Greco, Rembrandt, Delacroix and Velasquez, bringing him to the conclusion that, “we gave up way too much for abstraction.” He wished to paint a “great big picture,” as did Delacroix, who put a full-sized horse in one heroic work. He says, “My great big picture has 13 pieces.” That picture emerged at Emma
Lake in 1988: “I knew as I painted it, it was the signature piece I'd been waiting for all these years, and there it was unfolding before me.” This important painting was the first of the Toledo Series; by 1990 he had 13 pieces. “Each painting looks terrific, but they look better together.” Haynes has kept the entire series, and is now donating it to the Edmonton Art Gallery. First shown at the EAG in 1992, the series has appeared at the

whimsical, draws on the rich decorative heritage of her Ukrainian Polish roots, and is laden with symbolism and elaborate patterns. New works from Teddi Ruth Driedger will centre around what she calls a “forest fantasy of dreams.” Driedger’s work has been likened to that of Milton Avery for her use of colour and sense of atmosphere. The diversity within this family of painters is remarkable indeed. “That’s what I’m most proud of,” says Ted. “We’re all in our own curious little corner.

tep through Bobbie Burgers’ front entrance and you are met by a large, two-panel painting on a startlingly white wall awash in vivid white daylight. One panel is signature Burgers – huge, wildly coloured flowers in reds, yellows and oranges, executed with exuberant brushstrokes; the other panel a simple line drawing of flowers against a bright blue background. “Flowers became my focus only because I wanted a medium to express colour,” she says, pouring from a white teapot into white porcelain cups. “It’s not that I have an obsession with flowers – there just seems to be an endless variety of shape and form and colour.” Burgers likes the freedom to explore varying perspectives, flitting from form to form, from style to style. “I find that I’m constantly going into the flowers and then back out. I can be abstract, or I can verge on high realism. Then I can step back again and make flowers look more traditional. I also like chopping up the images into panels, making it all about the colour. The multipanel pieces are like putting a puzzle together… not worrying about each section, how realistic it is. When it comes together it’s like a block of colour and light.” Her home, a renovated 1950s bungalow featured two years ago in an

interior design magazine, is a showcase for Burgers’ vibrant works of art. Visual clutter is virtually absent in the living room, kitchen and dining area, as if the rooms, with their reserved palette of whites and creams, were designed to not compete with the paintings. Nor do the paintings compete with each other. Rarely do more than one or two paintings hang in any room. “I like having a blank canvas. That’s why I have the house white and simple, as neutral as possible. It’s restful. Too many paintings on every corner would be distracting,” she says. Considering that she has two daughters aged four and five, it is remarkable that Burgers’ home remains almost clutter-free. The visual drama emanates mainly from her paintings. With an architect father and a mother who was an interior designer, Burgers says she grew up appreciating that environment is critical. “My parents always lived in beautiful homes. It was always about creating a beautiful environment and an inspirational place. I led a very good life. I didn’t have great angst.” It’s not that Burgers has always led a charmed life. “I got a divorce two years ago. Throughout that whole time I painted frantically. Painting made me feel as if everything was okay and life was fine. I had to keep moving forward and thinking about positive things. It’s about choosing your reality. You can choose to look at things in a dark way but I choose to look at most things in a positive way.” Of her early motifs, Burgers says: “I started off with explosive, falling apart still lifes of floral bouquets that were quite grand. The petals would be flying off like there was a wind blowing through. Then, as I got technically better at rendering flowers, I became more precise. I could go more in-depth into the actual creation of floral perspective and light and shadow. I got closer and closer into the flower until, a year or two ago, I did my first single giant blow-up flowers on big canvases.” After 10 years of finding her muse in flowers, Burgers brushes off people who insist she must be sick of painting them. “To me there’s always something new to explore. It’s exciting! I often re-visit themes I’ve already explored,” she says. “Brushstroke and colour are key. The subject doesn’t matter after that. I want to have a skilled brushstroke. Looking back at the www.gallerieswest.ca

last four or five years, I can see myself getting more confident in my brushstroke.” Artists who influence Burgers, none of whom she says she wants to emulate, are the late American abstract expressionist Joan Mitchell, Gordon Smith for his masterful brushstroke, Gathie Falk for her playfulness and Janet Fish, a contemporary realist. Burgers has some specific goals when she paints. “A still life can look very traditional. A floral can look like nothing more than a rendering. But I want them to be larger than life, undeniably there, sucking you in.” She loves nothing more than converting viewers who usually prefer more contemporary, abstract work. “When they see my art,” she says, “I want those people to say, ‘Oh, that’s kind of juicy.’ I want them to see that it’s alive, that you can’t help but notice it. I want to win over some of the people who think florals are not for them. That’s why I work in large scale and more on the loose side, with big brushstrokes very thickly applied.” She describes an interview with an art critic from Montreal who said he had no interest in florals. Then he admitted that as he was walking by her 28 Galleries West Spring 2005
Ottawa show, her work had caught Cure for Heartache, 2004, his attention. “He loved the vibrancy, multipanel acrylic on canvas, the colours and the size. When he 72" x 72" told me that, I thought ‘you are the exact person I am trying to cater to.’ Here’s this manly man saying, ‘Well, I kind of like it.’ “I want viewers to be emotionally drawn in. My goal is to overwhelm you, to make you feel alive and good. Like there is possibility and hope.” Bobbie Burgers is represented by Bau-Xi Gallery in Vancouver and Toronto, Vanderleelie Gallery in Edmonton, Gallerie de Bellefeuille in Montreal, Galerie St. Laurent + Hill, Ottawa, Gallery Susan de Witt in Florida, Hubert Gallery, New York, and Foster White Gallery, Seattle.

RODNEY GRAHAM: A LITTLE THOUGHT MAKES ITS THIRD NORTH AMERICAN APPEARANCE FEBRUARY 5 TO MAY 8 AT THE VANCOUVER ART GALLERY
HOME-TOWN HERO BY GRANT ARNOLD he mid-career retrospective exhibition Rodney Graham: A Little Thought focuses on Graham’s video and film work, from the projection events of the late 1970s through to recent costume dramas, in which the artist emerges as an absurdist entertainer caught in his own circular narratives. In addition to film and video not previously seen in Vancouver, the exhibition includes photographs, sculptures and audio recordings that demonstrate Graham’s masterful use of genres, from minimalism to film noir, from James Bond to Charlie Chaplin and from Richard Wagner to Pink Floyd. Beautifully produced and fascinatingly complex, Graham’s works are among the most compelling art being made today. Born in Abbotsford, BC, in 1949, Rodney Graham began his artistic practice in Vancouver during the 1970s, a moment in which the work of the legendary American artists Dan Graham and Robert Smithson figured influentially in an artistic community enlivened under the leadership of local artists Jeff Wall and Ian Wallace. He was stimulated by this environment and continues to cite these beginnings in recent work.

While often identified with the so-called “Vancouver School” of contemporary photographers, Graham’s art has taken a singular and arcane path, combining whimsical references to pop culture with a rigorous and multidisciplinary breadth. Graham is commonly described as a conceptual artist. His systematic, research-oriented methods often resemble those found in conceptual art. But the scope of his artistic and intellectual pursuits defies categorization. His self-reflexive and humourous art embraces an extraordinary and at times elusive variety of approaches and forms. Through several distinct series, his oeuvre loops back upon itself, restating structural devices and themes that borrow from 19th century scientific experiments and 20th century pop culture, as well as from the literary innovations and artistic legacy of Modernism. Repetition has become a hallmark of Graham’s work, one that is not simply a formal attribute, but an amusing and mesmerizing psychological dimension.
knew. Dan’s influence was partly his interest in music. Music has become more and more important in my work in recent years. Ian was my teacher at UBC when I was an undergraduate and I studied with Jeff. Later they became friends. Ian was an important influence in the early days at UBC, and of course their work is important for Vancouver in general. Tell me about Camera Obscura, the inverted tree images you've worked with, and the mediated view of nature.
I did that work while I was at Simon Fraser studying with Jeff. The Camera Obscura piece led to the series of inverted trees that I did in the 1980s, and still do occasionally. At the time it was the idea of the apparatus mediating between perception and reality, the photographic apparatus that preconditions our perceptions. I’m not really so much interested in that anymore. My relationship with photography is not so intense. I’m more into film performance now.

As in City Self/Country Self?
Yes, as in that whole trilogy of costume pictures I made, that piece along with How I Became A Ramblin’ Man. It’s partly my personal history, coming from living in the country while I was growing up. The dichotomy between urban and rural is something that has occupied artists for a long time. I guess I am working within that tradition.
How was Rodney Graham: A Little Thought received during its runs last year in Toronto and Los Angeles?
I’m intrigued by the way that you use looping techniques in your films.
Very well received. The show in Toronto was a good installation, with lots of space dedicated to it which is nice because the pieces are multimedia and they demand a lot of space. I played a concert in both places and the concerts were well received, and I was happy about that. Of course I’m looking forward to it coming to Vancouver.
Yes it is. Last time I did an exhibition in Vancouver it was a small solo show in 1987. This will be the first really big show that I’ve done in my own home town – it’s kind of nerve-wracking.
The obvious thing is the practical context. A gallery or museum situation is not the same as a cinematic one, where people show up on time to see a movie and then they leave when it’s over. The basic impulse, the reason for the looping technique is simply that. But given that it’s convenient to loop a film when you are showing it in a gallery context, certain issues come out of that – at what point do you loop it? You can play with it in certain ways. It’s practical, but it becomes a formal issue. I think about how the story line is going to be structured, and how the beginning and end are going to be joined. It creates certain problems and paradoxes – those kinds of things are fun to deal with. It evokes issues about repetition in general that might be interesting to others or maybe not, I don’t know.

book of a country bumpkin being kicked in the butt by a stereotypical city dandy. I was interested in that, and turning it into a film. In this case I justworked with some small detail and expanded out. I don’t read French very well but the image telegraphed the story. The costumes were so clearly that of a peasant and a citified dandy – I was interested in playing with those obvious types. What about the idea of impersonation?
I try to create a scenario that I can handle. I’m not really a skilled actor, and since I perform in the films myself I try to find some simple type that I can do. I just let the costume and a certain kind of bearing represent things. So your convict persona in A Reverie Interrupted by the Police is
Yes, in a way. So what drives you? Can you describe a piece that you are working on right now?
Yes, I’m doing a new piece that’s a little bit about the painter Morris Louis. It’s going to be a large photographic work. I’m playing a collector who has decided to become a painter. What is it about the Morris Louis piece that intrigues you?
I’m becoming more interested in painting, in attempting to do it myself. I’m interested in the drip painting that he was doing, and the fact that he did it in his house, a small bungalow in Washington, DC. The fact that he did it at home, which is the way I like to paint too. It’s really kind of anecdotal. So we can expect more paintings from you in the future?
Yes, I’m concentrating on doing film projections in the gallery, and my music, and painting too. My training is in art history and I didn’t go to art school, so I didn’t learn a lot of technique. Working in film means working with other people, and relying on other people to help out. So that’s how I got into conceptual work, where I don’t necessarily actually do it myself. With the music it’s more about me being directly involved, and with the painting it’s like that too.
an example?
Yes, the costume really telegraphs it out. I don’t have to do a lot of acting because I’m not really an actor. It’s not so much mimicry as playing an obvious type.

THE PORTRAIT WITHIN

ormer Prime Minister Kim Campbell waited 11 years to get her official prime ministerial portrait done – it was finally unveiled in Parliament last November. Was she busy? Or was she simply inclined to put off an experience so weighty with historical significance, so daunting in its potential to penetrate one’s protective façade? The portrait in all of us lurks behind a lifesize cut-out that is our selfperception – the way we see ourselves; the way we think we look, perhaps the way we are. Mirrors are deceptive allies. Snapshots we know are unconscionable liars. But when we sit before a portrait artist, there’s a transfer of power that is frighteningly absolute. We hand our souls over to an artist whose very existence pivots on his or her powers of observation, whose talent is the ability to look at you, to reach in and pull something definitive out. It’s an act of derring-do. Risky. Bold. Defiant. Calgary artist Marija Petricevic tells the story of an elderly client who brought a photograph of his younger self as well as a decades-old sketch depicting him in full military garb. Naturally, Petricevic referred to the photo for his likeness. “When I showed him the portrait, he didn’t want it,” she recalls. “He had expected me to work from the sketch. He’d looked at it frequently over the years, and never looked at the photo. The

sketch was how he saw himself.” She asked him to take the portrait home and think about it. In a couple of days he returned, at peace, sincerely grateful for the painting she’d done. “I always get an emotional reaction when I show people their finished portrait,” says painter Janine Hall. “Lots of quiet tears.” Hall won an Award of Distinction and the Swinton Award for best oil portrait at the 2004 National Open Portrait Exhibition, presented by the Canadian Institute of Portrait Artists (CIPA) last fall. When the subject of her winning piece first saw his portrait, it was a profound moment of looking, says Hall. “He is a painter himself, yet he had underestimated the affect that seeing himself in a painting would have. “The piece of art – the painting – has an energy about it that captures soul and beauty,” says Hall. “It is profound to see yourself in that glow.” True. But do we imagine King Henry VIII shedding a tear when his painted visage was unveiled to him? Perhaps not. For one thing, the artist in that case wasn’t dabbing at Henry’s soul. He was focused on the ermine. Portraiture in past centuries was all about what you were, notes Bernard Poulin, president of CIPA. It was the King that was important, not the Henry. “Later, as professions www.gallerieswest.ca

emerged, what you did was important. Today, it’s who you are that counts. Portraiture has evolved along with that,” says Poulin. Now we see people as complex, victimized, realized, analyzed and unique. Against the backdrop of 20th century psychoanalysis, we have a concept of individuality that wasn’t around before. We ‘get it’ when the portraitist offers us the chance to engage in a relationship with the subject of a portrait. And that becomes part of what distinguishes portraiture from figurative artwork. “The painter has introduced you to someone – if you are engaged, and feel close to that individual… then yes it is a portrait,” says Poulin. “Portraiture says something about the person represented; we get caught up in a relationship.” With a portrait, you get a sense of a specific personality. Figurative work, on the other hand, is done for a different purpose – a study of form, a representation of archetypal images such as the nude. Certainly, the subject doesn’t need to be identified for a piece to qualify as a portrait. So does the person portrayed actually need to exist?

In either case, there’s no denying the overwhelming sense of presence one feels standing before these powerful ‘personalities.’ Penny’s artistic purpose, however, goes far beyond the creation of likeness, forcing us to contemplate our understanding of what is real, and unravel what it is we call identity. “One needs to take very seriously the artist’s intent,” comments Hall. “Even composite sculptures or paintings, which are of no one real person, can be on a spiritual level a sort of portrait. But if the artist’s intent is not to produce a portrait… we need to take that seriously.” Is a portrait also defined by the intent of the viewer? Since 1945, senior CIPA member Dorothy Oxborough has been creating pastel portraits of aboriginal people, mostly children and elders. Each one is based on a real person whom she has met and photographed. Each is rendered affectionately as a realistic depiction of a real person. None are commissioned. And most sell. What are the buyers buying? Have they any knowledge or interest in the individual portrayed? Not likely. They are buying icons; images of a culture. The line starts to blur. If the distinction hinges on soul, and the ability of the artist to engage the viewer in a relationship, how is that accomplished? Most portraitists www.gallerieswest.ca

spend as much time as possible with their subject, but they’re lucky to get a couple of hours. They talk, do some sketches, and take lots of photos. The painting or sculpting is usually done back in the studio. Not many people actually sit for the whole process anymore. “Ten percent maximum,” estimates Poulin. Portraitists are unapologetic about this. It’s pretty much a practical necessity in our busy world. And the use of snapshots does not mean that portraiture itself has become mechanized. Just the opposite. “Photography is not your eye. It distorts proportions and perspectives… it is only a reference point,” cautions Poulin. “You cannot copy the photo, it can be wrong.” Poulin is emphatic about the importance of having solid fundamental drawing and technical skills, and a precise knowledge of anatomy, so the artist no longer has to think about how to achieve the physical representation. The artist can refer to the photos for details, but the painting is done from intrinsic powers of observation, and the deeper sense of the person gained from spending time together. “The photo allows me to concentrate on the person,” says Poulin. Janine Hall concurs. To open yourself to expressing what you’re seewww.gallerieswest.ca
ing, to have your painting transcend, she says, requires hours of practice, to the point where you’re not thinking about how to do it. David Goatley, a founding member of CIPA, is the Victoria-based painter chosen by Kim Campbell to create her long-awaited portrait. It was a rare treat to have painted much of that work from live sittings. “People don’t often get a chance to stare at each other,” he notes. “Sometimes, the subject starts to feel like you can see inside them. They begin to tell you about themselves,” he says. “It’s like a confessional. It’s a privilege to share someone’s life like that.” With such a leap of faith required, we can all empathize with Ms. Campbell’s angst about subjecting herself to any painter’s soul-catching brush. Was she nervous? “Actually, she was very excited about it,” says Goatley. “She paints a bit herself, and was interested to see the process…a lot of fun… very confident… really thrilled....” Oh. Well that proves it: the experience of portraiture, like the finished work, is as diverse as the individuals involved. Jennifer MacLeod is editor of Galleries West magazine.

ONE OF THE REGINA FIVE AND CO-FOUNDER OF THE VISITING ARTIST WORKSHOPS AT EMMA LAKE, KENNETH LOCHHEAD CONNECTED REGINA WITH THE WIDER ART WORLD
KENNETH LOCHHEAD enneth Lochhead was born in Ottawa in 1926, and has been back living there for the past 30 years. But notwithstanding his obvious link with the national capital, he will always be known as one of the so-called Regina Five, a group of talented Canadian abstract painters who achieved renown in 1961 for a landmark exhibition presented at the National Gallery of Canada and subsequently toured across the country. Lochhead had been living in Regina for 11 years when the breakthrough National Gallery show brought him national exposure and a central place in what Regina writer Will Chabun has called “the five important things that have taken their name from this city.” (The other four are the Regina Cyclone of 1912, the Regina Riot of 1935, HMCS Regina and the Regina Rifles.) The son of a scientist father and musician mother who encouraged Kenneth and his poet brother Douglas to follow careers in the arts, Lochhead studied commercial art at Ottawa’s High School of Commerce, painted prize-winning watercolours while studying art at Queen’s University, and then won a scholarship to the Pennsylvania Academy of Arts, where in his fourth year he specialized in the type of flat-plane and egg tempura mural paintings pioneered by Piero della Francesca. While in Pennsylvania, Lochhead took a two-year course at the Barnes Foundation, a non-profit organization founded in 1922 to promote advancement of education and appreciation of the fine arts. There he learned about Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and about the visual elements and esthetic traditions evident in other art forms across periods and cultures. “I came out of school thinking that Matisse was the greatest painter of the century,” he said 30 years later. “And I still think so.” The Barnes Foundation had such a profound influence on Lochhead that when in 1950 at age 24 he

Curator Helen Marzolf wrote in the catalogue for a 1968 Regina exhibition of Lochhead’s abstract paintings that some of his critically acclaimed works during this period were “denatured landscapes populated by geometrically simplified figures of unmistakably Surrealist genealogy.” In 1955, Lochhead and his Regina College faculty colleague Arthur McKay organized a two-week professional artists’ workshop to augment the annual summer classes for Saskatchewan artists, students and high school art teachers that the university had been holding since the mid-1930s at remote Emma Lake, in the woods north of Prince Albert. The idea was to connect Prairie artists with the wider art world by bringing in top modernist artists to lead intensive studio courses. The first invited guest was Jack Shadbolt from Vancouver, and he was followed by such prominent American abstract expressionists as Will Barnet, John Ferren and Barnett Newman, and the influential New York critic Clement Greenberg. Lochhead served as administrator of the workshops for nine years, during which time they served as the primary mechanism for the dissemination of the modernist esthetic in Western Canada. In 1961, what started out as a local show featuring Lochhead, McKay, and three of their painter friends—Ron Bloore, Ted Godwin and Doug Morton—moved from Regina to the National Gallery in Ottawa, where it was an instant success. “One of the most significant shows of contemporary Canadian art,” said the headline on one review. “A remarkable phenomenon of the Canadian Prairies,” said another. The media dubbed the group the Regina Five and, in Bloore’s words, “it was very good for all of us. We hit the jackpot with just one show.” Critic Greenberg visited Emma Lake in 1962 and was so taken by Lochhead’s work that he mentioned him in a 1963 survey essay for Canadian Art magazine, and included one of Lochhead’s paintings in his 1964 PostPainterly Abstraction exhibition in Los Angeles. This appearance, in a show featuring the likes of Barnett Newman, Kenneth Noland and Jules Olitski, propelled Lochhead into the front ranks of Canadian painters. “From then on,” wrote Toronto Star critic Sol Littman, “Lochhead led and others followed.” Frustrated by his inability to establish a BFA program at Regina College, Lochhead left Regina in 1964 to become professor of painting at the Universi-

ty of Manitoba. Two of the other Regina Five members—Bloore and Morton—also left Regina during the same period. Lochhead then moved on to York University and finally, in 1975, back to his hometown and the University of Ottawa. There, after spending 20 years engaged almost exclusively in producing abstract art, he shocked some people by returning to his traditionalist roots, painting landscapes, wildlife, clouds and birds. “The pressure to be with it is gone,” he explained to critic Littman. “I don’t need to feel chic, to prove I’m in the mainstream.” Lochhead continued to earn critical acclaim while changing his artistic priorities. A 1980 exhibition of Alberta landscapes at Calgary’s Mira Godard Gallery was described by Calgary Herald critic Nancy Tousley as “good painting by a painter who clearly loves his vocation.” In 1991, Ottawa Citizen critic Nancy Baele wrote that she could feel the sensuality and the romantic atmosphere in an exhibition of Venice-inspired Lochhead oil paintings, Gardens in Time. “Their attraction lies in their fluidity and their empha-

sis on chromatic harmony. There’s a feeling of balance.” He also earned recognition beyond the boundaries of the art world. In 1971, Lochhead was awarded the Order of Canada “for his contribution to the development of painting, especially in Western Canada, as an artist and teacher.” Since retiring from teaching in 1989 at age 63, Lochhead has been painting full-time in his Gatineau, Quebec, studio, a half-hour’s drive from his Ottawa home. His studio is located in a hemlock spruce forest, and he has been focussing recently on his Interior Forest series of paintings. In Western Canada, his works can be found in the permanent collections of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, the Edmonton Art Gallery, the Dunlop Art Gallery in Regina, and the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon. During the 1990s, he exhibited works in Toronto, Winnipeg and Ottawa, and he continues to appear regularly in solo and group shows across the country. In October 2004, his quirky depictions of Canadian political and historical figures, painted during the previous 14 years, were featured in a show, On and Off the Hill, at the Ottawa Art Gallery. A major retrospective covering 54 years of his creative output, Kenneth Lochhead: Garden of Light 1948–2002, is on view at Regina’s MacKenzie Art Gallery January 29 to May 8. “I’m a painter like the next guy is a carpenter,” Lochhead has said. “The more I paint, the more I’m liking it.”

IS SUCH A STRONG WORD
DO BUSINESS SKILLS AND MARKETING KNOW-HOW BELONG IN ART SCHOOL? BY BEVERLY CRAMP rt school graduates used to be trained almost exclusively in artistic concepts and technical skills. But now Canadian art schools are adding a new language to their curricula. Words such as negotiation, contract writing and marketing are finding their way into art classrooms. Lance Carlson, new Alberta College of Art & Design (ACAD) president, raised the issue recently by proclaiming that artists have to be able to make a living and that art schools are the places to teach them how. “If students don’t get these skills in the art schools, they don’t usually get them at all,” he says. “They will have to pick it up by happenstance, which is a hit and miss proposition. “We are in the business of educating artists and designers, and conceptual art skills are one part of it,” continues Carlson. “The other part of a graduate’s success is making sure the rent is paid and being economically stable. We would be missing our mission if we didn’t attend to this.” In Vancouver, a few years back the Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design made its professional practice course compulsory. Previously the semesterlong course, which includes instruction on project management, proposal writing and intellectual property, had been an elective. The University of Manitoba School of Art offers a course on portfolio development and presentation, as well as an honour’s thesis seminar. The latter covers professional practice, presentation and marketing, but primarily within the fine art field. “This year our visiting artist lecture series also covers this topic, due to student demand for more of this kind of information,” says Celia Rabinovitch, director of the School of Art. Most business savvy is passed on in casual conversation between students and instructors, says Rabinovitch. She argues that this informality

often results in inconsistent information and is not the best way to learn about business skills. While Rabinovitch says it is commonly understood that artists are entrepreneurial souls who seek opportunities for professional visibility, she also recognizes there is another element in the art world that views business issues as anti-intellectual. These disparate views have grown out of the historical development of art education and professional development. “The medieval and renaissance artist certainly relied on marketing through their guild and on name recognition – you might even say branding – by becoming known through a certain style,” says Rabinovitch. “When art moved into the academy in the 18th century, the academy promoted its artists as classically trained and superior. The art academies also emphasized the professionalism of their artists, including understanding the properties of their materials and a diversified portfolio. It was only when art moved into the universities after World War II that the distinction between the element of making the work and the concept became strong. A conceptual strategy fit well into the universities’ definition of knowledge as intellectual and it complemented the individualism of abstract expressionism, which emphasized personal expression. Mastery of forms and materials was discounted along with monetary success… they were considered anti-intellectual.” Whether harbouring an intellectual bias or not, some art students are less than eager to learn business skills. “A certain percentage want to learn while others don’t,” says Calgary-based Diane Burroughes, a consultant who coaches business skills to artists. Burroughes says it’s not just students who have to be convinced business skills should be part of the art school line-up. “Some faculty members feel they just need to teach art. But they are already getting paid a good salary. Their students on the other hand have to make their own way. Without business chops, what will be the retention of artists doing their work 10 years after graduation?” Recognizing that artists must make their way in the world motivates Carlson’s drive for including business courses at ACAD. But Carlson is also concerned about communication between artists and the rest of the business world. “I think the modern view of the artist as an isolated individual doing something that few can understand works against artists. They become economically marginalized and don’t carve a niche for themselves. “I think artists do have a role to play in the economy. The arts world has done a horrible job of articulating its worth to the non-art world. We have to learn to make that argument.” Diane Farris, a gallery owner who has thrived for 20 years in the commercial gallery world by finding and establishing emerging artists, acknowledges that recent art school graduates have a better understanding of her side of the business. “Artists have to acknowledge that marketing and promotion are legitimate activities,” Farris says. “These are words that they like to avoid. But I have noticed that newer graduates are more business savvy.” Emily Carr’s Vice President, Academic, Monique Fouquet, says that many business skills are actually quite applicable to an artist’s work. “We make decisions about education that are not always obvious to the students,” she says. “Some of the (business) learning is totally relevant for being an artist. For example grant proposal writing and project management.” Whether it’s about material success, communication with non-art people or practical skills that complement the artistic process, there is growing support for art schools teaching business skills. “Both the university and the art college have a responsibility to prepare students for their future life as an artist or designer, says Rabinovitch. “It is misleading to proclaim that the life of an artist can rest on idealism. In fact, the artists we know about all had good marketing approaches and got visibility any way they could. That’s why we know them.” Beverly Cramp is a Vancouver-based freelance writer. www.gallerieswest.ca

“It’s always all about the land, even in the water paintings I do. It’s about reflections of the landscape and the inescapability of it all. I just have to look into the water and I get thousands of ideas,” he says. Partially inspired by Claude Monet, Alexander is dedicated to producing work that he calls “all surface,” creating landscapes that shun well-worn vistas. Case in point – why chop off the tops of mountainscapes? Easy: he doesn’t “ever want to paint mountains that have been named or already been done,” aiming for the essence of the place in his evocative paintings. “This is what the landscape feels like, rather than what there is to be seen.” The abbreviated mountain rock faces are all about the process of deconstructing our sense of place – our very “invention of the idea of land” – with an intimate, even claustrophobic portrait that is “what you really see when you go up to see that vista.” An easy conversationalist who loves to talk about the stories and inspirations behind his paintings and the theories and feelings that underlie his practice, Alexander is nothing if not an intense painter. This is not a man who undertakes things lightly. He expresses a profound spirituality in his work, going as far as to quote Simon Schama’s hypothesis in Landscape and Memory that some tracts of land have a spiritual reality that sits alongside their profane uses. In an earlier conversation about a forest-themed series of work, Alexander referred to towering tree portraits done outside of Nelson, BC, as con-
Alexander’s opinion of Canadians’ generally weak sense of stewardship has only intensified since he and his wife built a gorgeous home with a “million-dollar view” on a hill overlooking the Okanagan Valley just outside Kelowna. The artist can’t help noticing that bevies of rich Europeans are buying up whole mountainsides around his new home with every intention of living in their own little green preserves. “You’d need to be a baron in Europe to have that much land and greenery around you. We need to have a bit of that attitude, and fight to make sure Canada stays good for the next 500 years.” As for his new home, Alexander notes with gravity that there is a huge price tag for beauty. He is less than thrilled with all the development he already sees in an area bursting with growth spurred on by wine-connoisseur tourism. Obviously he loves his custom-built, European-flavoured, flatroofed, two-storey house terraced right into the valley-side and boasting his first-ever studio-built-as-a-studio (despite it being the smallest studio he’s had in two decades). But, “the big question is if I want a place in this valley.” When asked if the move and the new digs has changed his art practice, Alexander says that the panoramic vista from this patio may impress visitors, but it’s not the kind of view he’s ever painted. Ironically enough, what did have an impact on his practice was the year he spent semi-homeless waiting for his house to be finished. Alexander ended up painting 150 uncharacteristic small works while

taining “cathedral window” views and being all about “height and religiosity.” This spiritual intensity reflects itself humourously in the wacky anthropomorphic connections he projects upon his canvases. Alexander jokingly titled a recent canvas Bully, Nerds in a moment of satirical irreverence because that’s what was evoked by the spatial relationship between a solitary large tree in a stand of punier growth. This great intensity and personal connection to landscape also reflects itself in Alexander’s no-holds-barred advocacy towards more enlightened stewardship vis-à-vis Canada’s natural spaces. “Too many Canadians just don’t know what stewardship means,” the painter says, adding that Canadians are too quick to measure the landscape by its development potential rather than a more environmentally complete concept of space. “I hear really devastating terms used to talk about the land, like opposing ‘farm land’ to ‘scrub brush’, as if scrub land was an area left over from development and not a place in its own right. Elk Island Park is pretty much all scrubby brush land, but it’s also really beautiful.” 46 Galleries West Spring 2005
working out of a small unheated garage-turned-studio last winter. This accident of circumstance awakened a desire to experiment more with form and also to market all the work he wants to make (including his beloved drawings) as opposed to only the larger canvases galleries find easy to sell. “I’m just as thrilled by a painting that’s eight centimeters square as one that’s two by three meters, and I’m going back to painting a series of small paintings later this winter. This is all about turning my back on the art world for a few months and feeling like I’m a student again.” An exhibition of new works by David Alexander runs February 20 to March 6 at Darrell Bell Gallery in Saskatoon. Alexander is represented by: Bau-Xi Gallery, Vancouver and Toronto; Virginia Christopher Fine Art in Calgary; Vanderleelie Gallery, Edmonton; Darrell Bell Gallery, Saskatoon; Galerie d’Avignon, Montreal; Michael Gibson Gallery, London, ON; Wallack Galleries, Ottawa; James Baird Gallery in St. John's, Nfld; and Art First, London, England.
