The family of renowned Moose Jaw artist Gus Froese is honoring his legacy with the opening of “Tracing the Wind” at the Moose Jaw Cultural Center. The exhibit opened on Thursday, August 16 and will run until August 31. At the exhibition, locals can get an opportunity to see a selection of Gus’ work spanning over 40 years. The selection of pieces shows a variety of his drawings starting from the early 70s. There was a good turnout at the opening to view some of the artist’s never before seen work and reflect on his tremendous impact on the arts community. His work has not only left an indelible mark on Moose Jaw, as seen in many of the murals across the city, but he has also left his mark on the rest of Canada as a renowned artist for his detailed and intricate work. Rob Froese, one of his sons, says the exhibition is a retrospect of his father’s work. “This exhibit is entitled Tracing the Wind—a retrospect of some of his drawings. This is a small selection of some of his work he did over the years. Most of these were done in the 1970s and 80s and some later on. He passed away just over a year ago. Just about the same time, the Cultural Center asked if we could put on an exhibition of his work. In that time, we had a chance to select some pieces, mainly drawings. It became the theme of paper and ink. A lot of the pieces here show wildlife or landscapes, themes he really did a lot of work with.” Rob, who is a ceramic artist, says it is great to share some of his father’s work that he grew up seeing, that has also influenced his own work as an artist. He said that in the 90s, Gus started painting murals more. “He painted a lot of the murals around Moose Jaw and a lot of work across Canada. It was in the 80s that he did most of the studio work, some of which are displayed here. It is nice to mix his selections and see the things we grew up with that taught me my work as an artist. It is so nice to be able to see this—his work spanning many years.” Rob added that this exhibition is no different than what his father would have done because he showcased at many galleries when he was alive. He says this exhibition, however, is a way to honor his father. “He had regular exhibitions in Moose Jaw and this is no different from what he would’ve done. This exhibition seems like a continuation of what he always did, and it is also a way to honor him. This, however, focuses on one small part of his practice because he had many parts to it,” he said. “These pieces reflect the strengths of his drawings mainly and his way of translating perspective and distance, especially on the Saskatchewan landscape that he knew very well.” Kathleen Froese, Gus’ wife says this is a wonderful way for the family to honor Gus. “This is a way for the family to personally honor Gus and a way for my children to categorize the work and put it together. His work here at this exhibition covers a long period of time and is a big part of his life. These pieces remind me of many stories he would tell because he was a great story teller. It’s nice to see all of this on display. The Cultural Center was very accommodating in allowing us to put this together.”
