Joice M. Hall

John Hall

Artists John andJoice Hall have ahome with a spec-

tacular view. On a sunnyday, the sparkling water ofOkanagan Lake is asvibrant as one of John’spaintings and the craggy,pine-covered slopes on thefar shore create a dramaticbackdrop that Joice oftenfeatures in her landscapes.“You get a bit jaded andthen someone comes alongand says: ‘What a view!’and you connect with itagain,” says Joice. “Thefirst summer, I was justtotally knocked out withthe lighting all day long.It’s amazing.”

The Halls moved totheir hillside home inKelowna four years ago afterJohn retired from a 25-yearcareer teaching art at theUniversity of Calgary. Avisit to the Okanaganprompted them to abandonplans to live in Mexico,where they had kept a sec-ond home for a dozen years.It’s easy to see what attracted them to the B.C. Interior. The aridhills with sparse clumps of yellowing grass are reminiscent of theMexican landscape. And across the vineyards from their adobe-coloured rancher, the bells of the Mission Hill winery toll thehours like the churches of San Miguel de Allende, the Mexicanartists’ colony where they used to spend half the year painting.

The Halls have set up tidy his-and-hers studios in the lowerlevel of their home. John, whose career includes a 1979 solo showat the National Gallery of Canada and a major retrospective atthe Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City in 1994, has beenworking on small still-life paintings in the pulsating colours andfastidious realism that have long been his trademark. For her part,Joice has been inspired by the local landscape to continue theprecisely detailed panoramic format that she began doing inMexico. Her most recent paintings are looser and more evocativethan her earlier work. Romantic and mysterious, they featurerainbows and ominous storm clouds photographed by Joice at var-ious times of the day and evening from the couple’s top deck. “Iused artistic license to create my own version of the storms,” shesays. “I feel this series hasonly begun; I have manymore storms to create andrainbows to try to cap-ture.”

John calls his latestseries Quodlibet, a Latinword that refers to a philo-

sophical or theological point presented for debate. He began theseries a year ago when the Royal Canadian Academy of Art, towhich he was elected in 1975, asked him to create a small-formatwork for reproduction in a limited-edition portfolio. In taking onthe project, John says he asked two questions. First, can an ordi-nary object become interesting through the act of painting it?And, second, can a painting that eschews many of the acceptedmarkers of fine art – an overt brush stroke or pictorial distortion,for instance – still be a meaningful work of art? Those questionshave occupied him for 17 paintings so far.

John began the series with a bowl of marbles and then movedto candy suckers and finally to fruit that references Okanaganorchards. The paintings again demonstrate his mastery of theacrylic medium with their careful evocation of glistening grapes,burnished plums and shiny lemon peel. They have a timeless old-

world quality reminiscent of17th-century Dutch still-lifepainting. They also breathemore than his usual composi-

tions,which aredenselystructuredand featureheightenedcolour thatallows the

eye little pause, a quality that critic Gary Michael Dault hasdescribed as a mix of ‘chromatic blare’ and ‘airless urgency.’

Throughout his career, John has focused on meticulous still-life paintings of everyday objects, often mass-produced kitschmade from plastic, glass or tin. “It’s the world I grew up with,”John says of his childhood in Edmonton. “As a kid it really wasthe world of pop culture that defined my life, with very little fineart to be had . . . what I did know about was comic books andSaturday-afternoon matinées at the theatre and pop music. I’mstill fond of those things.”

Before he starts painting, John arranges objects, searching forcompositions thatexcite him. Hephotographs vari-ous possibilitieswith a digital cam-era and then inten-sifies colour con-trasts on his com-puter. Workingfrom these tem-plates, he can takethree months tofinish larger paint-ings.

The Halls, whohave been married

39 years, met while shopping for fish-tackle boxes to hold their art supplieswhile first-year students at what wasthen the Alberta College of Art inCalgary. “From my side of the aisle, Ireached through the rack to the perfect-looking box,” says John. “And just as Itouched that box, in shot a hand fromthe other side. Guess whose hand? Beingthe perfect gentleman, I said: ‘Pleasetake the good box.’ ” The Halls marriedduring their fourth year of studies, head-ing to Banff for a weekend honeymoonbefore returning to classes on Monday.

They have two chil-dren, Janine, 38,and Jarvis, 35, aswell as four grand-children.

John’s work isgenerally classifiedas photo-realism, amovement that gained popularity with influential curators in the1970s. Leading practitioners include artists such as Richard Estes,known for New York street scenes, and Audrey Flack, who drewattention by focusing on jewellery, glass and other reflective sur-faces. The tastes of curators have changed, but John has remainedsteadfast, leading critic John Bentley Mays of the Globe and Mailto describe him as “an odd-man-out” in the Canadian art world.“John and I always feel a little bit foreign in today’s art situations,often because a lot of young artists don’t give it a second look,”Joice acknowledges. “I think they think there’s not enough in it,because it really is just about creating an image in paint.”

Asked why he persists in the time-consuming labour of repli-

catingreality,especiallygiven therelativeease ofphotogra-phy, Johnjokes: “Itmust be apersonalitydisorder ofsome

sort.” But on a more serious note, he explains that he is inter-ested in the formal process of painting – the techniques oftranslating what he sees into another medium. “It’s the way todescribe a blast of light or a patch of shadow or a bit of texture– that’s what counts.”

It’s something both John and Joice say they still find end-lessly challenging after four decades as painters.

An exhibition of works by John and Joice Hall was held lastsummer at the Art Ark, a commercial gallery in Kelowna. Both haveupcoming solo shows in Calgary, John in October at NewzonesGallery and Joice next spring at Wallace Galleries. John also has ashow in March at Regina’s Rosemont Art Gallery.

REVA STONE

Reva Stone’s exploration of new media will be featured in aone-woman exhibition at The Winnipeg Art Gallery starting inlate December. Over her 18-year career, Stone has explored someof the most contemporary and challenging forms in theproduction of her art. These include video, sound, installation,interactive media, web art and more recently, digital imagingsystems, robotics and three-dimensional computer environments.The WAG exhibition will allow Western Canadians to get morethan just a glimpse of what this internationally acclaimed artist –whose studio is located in Winnipeg’s historic Exchange District– has been up to.

Stone’s explorations into new media have garnered hernational and international recognition. She has shown her workat galleries and in festivals across the country and also exhibits inEurope and the United States. In December 2002, her roboticwork, Carnevale 3.0 received an honourable mention in aninternational competition in Madrid, Spain, of new media artistswho work with ideas of artificial intelligence. Such acclaim hasled to an invitation to exhibit at the First American Biennale ofElectronic Art, Columbus, Ohio, in 2004 and other honours suchas a Major Arts Grant from the Manitoba Arts Council to pursueher work, Imaginal Expression.

Imaginal Expression is an interactive installation and websitethat utilizes scientific imaging technology. Stone re-purposes theimagery and the technology to investigate the virtual body andthe lived body. Stone’s work is based in part on investigationsinto three-dimensional protein molecules whose visualrepresentations are used by medical science. Stone combines thescientific abstractions with, as she says, the “original humanphysical sources . . . flesh, hair, blood vessels, bruising, scarringand aging.” The development of this work will have aninteractive component for virtual and actual users that will beinfluenced by the bodily presence of the viewers.

Stone employs new technologies not for their own sake but asa natural progression into her enquiries about the body and themachine. Her place of investigation, unlike the purporteddisinterest and objectivity of science, has always been as an

embodied female subject.Indeed, Stone has been asignificant member andBoard member of Winnipeg’sMentoring Artists forWomen’s Art (MAWA),filling in as Acting Directoron occasion and workingalongside other artists andwriters to advance thediscussions about identityand the body within thecontext of changing ideasabout technology. She retainsties within the community,serving as a mentor with theCrossing Communities ArtProject, working with girlsand women in conflict withthe law.

Imaging technologies areonly one aspect of her new

media focus. The upcoming Winnipeg exhibition will feature thelatest version and upgrade of Carnevale. The work is a motorized,life-sized programmed robot in the shape of an aluminumsilhouette and cut-out of a young girl. Carnevale, (which

Herresponses, programmed by Stone, include movement, audio,image capture, image projection and image retention. Stone hasprogrammed Carnevale so that these projections, like humanmemory will fade over time. It’s fascinating stuff. — Amy Karlinsky

PAUL WONG

Vancouver new media artistPaul Wong works with video,performance, photography andinstallation art, using popularculture as a mirror of our times.

A self-taught artist whodeveloped alongside theelectronic revolution, Wong hascreated a unique sense of stylewith a socio-political edge. Aprolific pioneer in the genre, he isat once a performance artist,video maker and photographerwhose individual style draws frompersonal experiences whileblurring the boundaries betweendocumentary and fiction.Recurrent themes in his workinclude death, sex and racialissues.

An activist for artistic expression and against censorship andracism, he is a curator and mentor to younger artists, and aninfluential figure in the Vancouver arts community. In 1973,Wong co-founded the Satellite Video Exchange Society (VideoIn), an artist-run centre for the production and distribution ofindependent video projects. In 1985 he became artistic directorof On Edge, a non-profit organization that initiates challengingart projects. Both organizations import and export internationalprograms, host visiting artists, curate exhibitions and publishbooks on popular culture.

In 1992, Wong received the Canada Council’s Bell CanadaAward in Video Art, in recognition of his contribution to thedevelopment of video practices and a video language in Canada.In 1995, a mid-career retrospective of his work was held at theNational Gallery of Canada.

Born in 1955 inPrince Rupert, B.C.,Wong’s family owned aclassic Chinese café. Hereturned to these rootsfor the 1998 - 2000Canadian tour ofTHEM=US, anexhibition featuring thework of 20 photographersfor which Wong wascommissioned tophotograph Chinesecafés in Western Canada.

Hungry Ghosts, arecent exhibitionexploring ways in whichwe see the dead andmethods in which thedead continue to live inthe present, showed at

the artist-run Neutral Ground gallery in Regina May 31 to July 5,and in June at Nuova Icona as part of the Venice Bienniale inItaly. Hungry Ghosts may be viewed on the web atwww.hungryghosts.net.

Wong was a featured artist in Vancouver’s third annual NewForms Festival 2003, Inter[sec/ac]tion: A convergence of music,media and art, and this fall he has a solo exhibition, Paul Wong –Collected, at the new Vox Gallery in Vancouver. RunningSeptember 6 to October 4 and aimed primarily at collectors, theexhibit contains video art, prints, photos and neon objectsincluding a number of digital pieces never before shown inVancouver. In Spring 2004 he will co-host INTRANATION atthe Banff Centre, a new media program in which 44 artists fromAfrica, Asia, Europe, Australia and the Americas have beenselected to participate in two six-week sessions. — Rod Chapman

SHELLEY OUELLET

Calgary-based artist Shelley Ouellet digitally designs andphysically constructs large, two- and three-dimensional pixilatedimages. She dates her interest in digital art to the OpeningCeremonies of the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in Calgary,when she and her brother “donned the white hooded capes thatwere taped to our seats.... We became two pixels and, withhundreds of other cape wearers, we were giant Olympic rings forall the world to see.” An incredible sense of magic was evoked,she says, seeing a stadium of images created by the audience.

Creating images or forms out of multitudes of tiny elementsremains “magical, visual and metaphorical” for Ouellet. Sheacquired her first Macintosh in 1996, and the computer wasintegral to such projects as a 20 ft x 14 ft portrait of RitaHayworth made of one-inch sequins pinned to a wall, and aneight-cubic-foot 3D bug made of little rubber bugs connected byfine nylon line. Ouellet continues to use databases, web cameraperformances, web-based publishing and animation in her art.She teaches web authoring at the Alberta College of Art &Design, is an avid advocate for the visual art community andserves as a mentor to young artists. “I’m really interested in howother artists, and now my students, see the internet as a mediumfor art. It is an exciting time,”she says.

Ouellet’s Wish you werehere... exhibition, last shown atthe Nickle Arts Museum in

Fire-Heart, 22" X 44", silkscreenprint, is part of Chinese Café - TheFive Energies, a 10-print series byPaul Wong.

Wish you were here..., aninstallation and web project by

Shelley Ouellet, includes curtainsof beads recreating three

landscape paintings.


2002, was a combined installation and web project that includedthree 8 ft x 15 ft beaded curtains, reducing binoculars, and adatabase of postcards collected as the work evolved in exhibitionsacross Canada. The curtains recreated three 19th centuryCanadian landscape paintings. Blank postcards were madeavailable at each exhibition venue and on the project website andpatrons were asked to contribute their own vision of a “Wish youwere here...” image. Hundreds of people responded electronicallyand by mail and their contributions are available for viewing atwww.wishyouwerehere-canada.net.

Implementing her projects has relied on multitudes of friendsand volunteers. “The dime store or craft objects come together tomake a larger whole, much like people do to ensure each projectis completed in time for the exhibition. I like the potential ofmany,” says Ouellet.

Ouellet has an exhibition this fall at Paul Kuhn Gallery inCalgary involving photo-active beads. Another show at Calgary’sNew Gallery opens February 14, 2004, and will be a multimediainstallation. — Jennifer MacLeod

RISA HOROWITZ

Winnipeg-based artist Risa Horowitz is interested in language,communication and interactive media. She has a background inphotography and writing, and is also the newest member of theteam at aceartinc, where she co-hosts a New Media art group. Inher art practice she collects and analyzes data – everything from aweb archive of self-portraits, made over seven years, to digitalimages of corners. Her recent work, Melitzah, comprises waveformsand sounds of her voice reading all the words in the CanadianOxford English Dictionary. Melitzah, a word in Hebrew thatmeans utterance, was recently installed at Plug In Institute ofContemporary Art as part of the Young Winnipeg Artists

exhibition. It’s interactive, with a138-volume visual dictionary and acomputerized database. Viewers andplayers can enter their own words orword combinations and receive the playback in audio andwaveform.

Horowitz’ work will be featured in the exhibition, DaringConfessions: Romance and the Modern Day Woman at the MendelArt Gallery in September. Later in the year she will be in Englandat COSIGN, a conference on computational semiotics for gamingand new media. — Amy Karlinsky

Enter Doug Maclean’sCanadian Art Gallery

through a vanity plate labeledBuy Art adorning the image ofa forlorn, snow-covered IsuzuTrooper. Clicking on thelicense plate opens up awebsite containing a selectionof paintings by some ofCanada’s best-known artists –Max Bates, Illingworth Kerr,Dorothy Knowles, DorisMcCarthy, John Snow andothers.

Founded in 1945, CanadianArt Gallery held the firstexhibitions of the Group ofSeven in Western Canada butdespite its distinguishedhistory, the gallery no longerexists in a physical space.Squeezed out of Calgary in1999 by declining margins andrising real estate prices,Maclean packed up andmoved to Canmore, on theedge of Banff National Park,where he set up a virtualstorefront atwww.canadianartgallery.com.

“More than 80 per cent ofmy business is conducted viaemail,” says Maclean, now aprivate dealer and secretary ofthe Art Dealers Association of

Canada (ADAC). “Sure it’sinternet-based, but almost allof it involves some form ofpersonal interaction with mycustomers.”

Maclean’s move to avirtual-only arena isn’t typical.Most galleries combine bricks

and clicks in their businessoperations, using the internetmainly as a marketing tool forkeeping up with clients,delivering digital images and

providing a visual record ofgallery exhibitions. Theinternet is used mostly as acommunication device, amulti-faceted extension ofthe telephone.

That strategy appears tobe working. JupiterCommunications, aninternet market researchcompany based in NewYork, has estimated thatthe online art andcollectibles market, worth$300 million in 2000, will

rise to $1.8 billion by 2005.Richard Thompson, a

computer programmer wholaunched Theo Digital Galleryin Vancouver almost four yearsago, says that the 70 galleriesnow using his softwaremanagement service conduct

about $1 million worth ofonline business annually.

“About 20 per cent of oursales are from people we’venever laid eyes on,” says MaryWeimer, co-owner ofAssiniboia Gallery in Regina.“Having a website allows us toreach a much larger market.”

That’s typical, saysThompson. Galleries withstrong web presences canachieve as much as 20 to 40per cent of purchases fromincremental sales by onlinesurfers. “It’s a good way toeven out cash flow.”

Theo Digital has aligneditself with Ontario-basedGallerySoft, a company thatprovides software for artgallery management –together, the two companiesprovide a complete front- andback-end package for galleryowners.

At the high end, works ofart in excess of $50,000generally fail to sell over theinternet because buyers areunwilling to spend largeamounts of money acquiringworks they have not examinedin person. At this level, thevalue of the art is in its

Artnet.comArtnet.com has set the standardfor the online art business since1989. Originally developed as anauction record database fordealers and collectors to moreeasily research art prices, it nowincludes a huge network of morethan 1,300 galleries servingdealers and buyers by providingeasy access to market and pricingtrends. Key services includefeature-laden magazine archivesand the Fine Art AuctionsDatabase, which carries illustratedauction price records.

Art.comArt.com is the internet’s posterchild. Ranked in the top 100 e-commerce websites worldwide, itwas a finalist in the 2003 Webbyawards, the online equivalent ofthe Oscars, for best commercialwebsite. Founded in 1995, thecompany offers more than 1.4trillion product combinations.Visitors can even experiment withmatting and framing options.Thesite receives 1.5 million uniquevisitors a month, mostly collegestudents who need posters to putup on bare dormitory walls.Andwhile Art.com still sells asignificant amount of product tostudents, it is now broadening itscustomer base to includeprofessional and amateurdecorators, collectors, artenthusiasts and businesses.

exclusivity – prospective buyersoperating in the upperechelons don’t want a work toappear on the internet.

Gone, too, is the notionthat selling fine art online ispart of the e-commercerevolution. Except for lower-priced photographs, prints andcollectibles, it simply isn’t ashopping-basket, “add this itemto my cart” phenomenon.

What’s left is the middle,and it is fertile ground indeedfor galleries that spend timeand energy on their websites.“I went in as a non-believer. Ididn’t think you could sell artover the internet,” says SharonSimpson of Jenkins ShowlerGallery in White Rock, B.C.“Now I can’t imagine doingbusiness without it.”

Simpson estimates thatabout 10 per cent of her salesare initiated online, althoughshe says the line betweenonline and in-store sales isblurring. Many travelersbecome enamoured with aparticular artist while away onbusiness, for example, but willfollow up with research and acontact when they returnhome.

“My experience is thatpeople aren’t going to buy apiece of art over the internetthat they don’t know anythingabout,” she explains.“However, if they’ve visited usbefore, or they know theartist’s work, they are quitecomfortable doing businessonline.”

Research is what drivescollectors to the internet –online, art becomes active.Click! Up comes the image ofa new work by an admiredartist. Click again – now you’reon the west coast closing in ona coveted landscape painting.But the thrill of the chase isonly part of the internet’sallure. Equally important isemail, the killer app, whichprovides immediategratification in the form ofinstant, dynamic, high-resolution delivery of images.

This self-education aspect ischanging the traditionalrelationship of buyer to seller,

says Mark London of ElcaLondon Gallery in Montrealand author of an ADAC-sponsored article called Art onthe Internet: VirtualConsiderations. According to

London, consumers are muchmore knowledgeable thesedays. “People use the internetto locate art and to researchartists before making majorpurchases,” he says. “Theycome in much more prepared.”

While many artists have apersonal website, not many useit as the primary method ofselling their work. Only aboutfive to 10 per cent of artists areself-managed; there’s a generalconsensus that most artists arebetter at making art than theyare at promoting it.

O N L I N E A R T

If you are thinking about creating a website for yourgallery, here are some tips from Joni Poplawski atGallerySoft Inc, an Ontario-based company that builds

gallery management software.DON'T USE FREE WEB HOSTING SERVICES – these

services torture visitors with advertisements, use irritatingpop-up screens and other obtrusive graphics, and setcookies.At worst, you only get half of the screen to showyour art, with the other half going to the host site. Freesites give the impression that you’re not successful enoughto afford your own domain name.

UPDATE REGULARLY – websites need to keep visitorsbusy.Whenever visitors return they should see fresh imagesand fresh stock. Sold prints should be removed after a setamount of time and older stock should be rotated in andout. Some galleries think that showing numerous soldworks of art will make people want to buy any remainingpieces.The effect is exactly the opposite. Potential buyersthink that the best pieces are already gone, and onlyleftovers remain.

BE UP FRONT ABOUT PRICING – this is essential forsuccess. Showing prices presents you as forthcoming, withnothing to hide.Websites that request visitors to call oremail for information are engaging in a shell game: theysucker prospective buyers into inquiring about prices,assess their level of interest in the art, and then quote ashigh as possible according to those buyers’ circumstances.Experienced dealers and collectors are too savvy to playthe please-tell-me-the-price game, and most people simplyaren’t interested in revealing personal information to getprices.

POST YOUR POLICIES – online shoppers want to buyart on approval, and they want to be able to return it for afull refund if it doesn’t meet their expectations. No policiesfor approvals, returns and refunds will limit your onlinepotential and mean few, if any, sales.

KEEP IT SIMPLE – navigation and content must bestraightforward. First-time visitors need to know who theartists are, why they should buy the art, and how to movearound within the site. Make sure each page links back toyour home page. Some website formats are far tooconfusing, with dead-end pages or sections that seem likemedieval mazes. Lost visitors mean lost sales.

MAKE IT EASY – the more you tell people aboutyourself, the more accessible you appear. Include youraddress, phone and fax numbers and email address. Evenbetter, make sure your gallery’s name and full contactinformation are on every page.Websites that lackappropriate contact information usually cause visitors toexit fast without taking a second look.

AVOID THE FANCY STUFF – most people just want tosee the art. Large text or image files and moving orspinning graphics increase download time and decreaseviewer interest.Avoid plug-ins, special effects, complexvisuals and other gimmicks that take a long time to load,require special software or even crash your visitor’scomputer.

AUTOMATE – consider purchasing gallery managementsoftware that will automatically update your website.Thistype of software requires little internet know-how andeliminates the tedious chore of manually re-enteringinventory information and removing sold items.Two companies that do this well are GallerySoft(www.gallerysoft.com) and Theo Digital Software(www.theodigitalgallery.com)

doing research on theinternet. He has chosen to berepresented by one gallery inSanta Fe, New Mexico. VanGinkel says, “Between myselfand my gallery, I’m as busy asI want to be.”

Vancouver-based painterRobert Genn also uses awebsite to promote his work,but has a hands-off approachto selling art. “I think you’reeither an artist or anentrepreneur,” he says.

Genn’s website,www.robertgenn.com,generates about 2,000 visitorsa month, mostly from peoplecoming to view his virtualportfolio. Clicking on animage, however, redirects

prospective buyers to the sixgalleries that represent Genn– that’s where the actual saletakes place.

“Dealers are partners in mysuccess,” he says. “Dealersshare the magic with clients –their commissions are well-earned.”

Nevertheless, when itcomes to the relationship

between artists and galleries,the rules are changing,according to Californiafigurative artist MarquesVickers, who has written aguidebook, Marketing andBuying Fine Art Online: ARight-Brained Guide to a Left-Brained Industry, intended tohelp internet-savvy artist-entrepreneurs and informedfine art buyers slice throughtraditional art marketing andinvestment rhetoric.

Vickers says that whilesome gallery owners don’twant artists sellingindependently on their ownwebsites, it doesn’t have to bethreatening. “There’s noquestion that this is evolving,”he says. “Artists now haveaccess to internationalaudiences, and they ignorethat reality at their peril. Aslong as the artists’ websitepricing is consistent withgallery pricing, it shouldn’t bean issue for the gallery.”

“While I wouldn’t be thatthrilled if every artist had awebsite and was selling art onit, our experience is that mostartists just aren’t thatinterested in the marketingaspects,” agrees Mary Weimer.“Artists know that there isvalue in what we do.”

In the end, selling art isstill about buildingrelationships. It’s just easierwith the internet.

Isn’t it romantic? They met at an art gallery,married in Paris, honeymooned in Italy, and thencame home to Saskatoon to live and worktogether as partners in life and in art. Today,more than 50 years later, William Perehudoff and

Dorothy Knowles are recognized as Western Canada’s

first family of the visual arts. He is one of the country’sleading abstract painters, having enjoyed great successin New York and London as well as in Canada. She isone of Canada’s finest landscape artists whose work hasbeen chosen to represent Saskatchewan in the CanadaThrough the Eyes of its Artists postage stamp series.

Bill had been painting seriously for about six or seven yearswhen, at age 33 in 1952, he asked Dorothy to marry him. Born in1919 in Bogdanovka, a Doukhobor colony located near Langhamabout 20 minutes drive northwest of Saskatoon, he grew upexpecting to become a farmer like his Russian immigrant fatherbut realized at age 15 – when he quit school to help his parentson the farm – that going through life with a grade four education(his lack of English had held him back) would hardly be enoughto satisfy him intellectually. He finished his high school educationby correspondence course and through this he began to cultivatean interest in art: “I liked the books on art and I liked to draw.” Afriend who was studying art in Toronto gave him some tips andBill began doing watercolour landscapes.

By 1944 the farmer-painter, as he liked to classify himself, hadprogressed to the point where he was ready to start exhibiting hiswork. He visited the newly opened Saskatoon Art Centre “to seewhat an artist looked like” and decided that a young Doukhoborfarmer would not look out of place in such company. He returnedthe following year as an exhibitor and shortly after that he beganspending his winters in Saskatoon while continuing to work onthe family farm.

One of Bill’s firstSaskatoon employerswas the entrepreneurand art benefactor FredMendel, founder of

Intercontinental Packers (later Mitchell’s Gourmet Foods), whosecollection of modernist Canadian and European art had aprofound impact on the young painter. Bill worked atIntercontinental as a labourer during the mid to late 1940s and,when he was laid off in 1950, he asked Mendel if he could paintsome murals for the factory. By this time Bill had broadened hisartistic horizons after studying in Colorado with the Frenchmuralist Jean Charlot and in New York with the abstract painterAmédée Ozenfant. Mendel commissioned Bill to paint fourmurals for the plant cafeteria and those paintings, measuring atotal of 14 metres in length, now form part of the permanentcollection of Saskatoon’s Mendel Art Gallery. The gallery, as thename suggests, was one of Mendel’s later bequests to thecommunity.

Bill met Dorothy in Saskatoon in 1950 and two years later

followed her to London, where she was taking classes at theGoldsmith School of Art. Born in 1927 in Unity, near NorthBattleford, Dorothy had gone to the University of Saskatchewanwith the perfectly sensible intention of becoming a lab technicianbut, after spending a summer at remote Emma Lake where theuniversity ran an art school in the woods north of Prince Albert,she decided to follow her heart: “I had always drawn and scribbledwhen I was little.” She spent four years taking night classes inpainting in Saskatoon before moving to London in 1952.

Bill and Dorothy married at the British embassy in Paris, andthey stayed on in Europe, soaking up art in museums andchurches, until their money ran out. When they returned toSaskatoon, Bill joined Modern Press – a printing company owned

by the SaskatchewanWheat Pool – “and tosustain my family, Istayed for 25 years” asa commercial artistand graphic designer.Dorothy also workedfor a few years aftertheir marriage, andraised three daughters.

Between workingand parenting, Bill and Dorothy practiced their art, painting sideby side in a cramped basement studio where Bill also kept adarkroom for his photography. For a while they both didlandscapes, and during that period their paintings seemed to beinterchangeable. Then Bill began to move toward abstraction,while continuing to pursue his ambition to paint murals. Apainting he made in 1955 for the waiting room of the Saskatoonbus depot became the city’s first public mural.

Bill’s work was seen only in Saskatoon until 1965, when hehad his first solo exhibition in Regina. After that came Edmontonand Toronto, followed in the mid-1970s by solo shows inMontreal, New York and London. Dorothy arrived in the bigleagues at about the same time. She had solo shows in Ottawaand Montreal in 1970, and her work was exhibited in Boston andNew York in 1975.

Crucial to the development of both artists leading up to thisperiod were the summer workshops conducted at Emma Lake bysuch distinguished New York painters and critics as Will Barnet,Herman Cherry and Clement Greenberg. After spending twoweeks with critic Greenberg in 1962, Bill focussed his identity asa painter, abandoned abstract expressionism, returned to nature,and gradually worked his way from abstracted prairie landscapesto abstract form and then colour-field painting. Dorothy acceptedGreenberg’s advice to continue painting from nature, though itwasn’t always easy for her to paint outdoors, especially with threeyoung children in tow. Eventually she got around this problem byborrowing money from her mother, buying a van, and venturinginto the countryside whenever the weather and her children’sschedules permitted.

Perhaps not surprisingly, all three daughters, Rebecca,Catherine and Carol, followed their parents and becameexhibiting artists. “We tried to get them into paying professions,”Bill joked in a 1999 interview with the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix.“But they all seemed to end up painting.”

Bill painted part-time until he took early retirement fromModern Press (now PrintWest) at age 59 in 1978. Since then hehas done his painting in a studio that he built on a farm propertynorth of Saskatoon, while Dorothy paints outside when the

weather is nice and does her winter painting at their home studioin the city. While back and eye problems have occasionallyintervened – “Every painting was done with a lot of pain,” Bill,then 83, told the Edmonton Journal during a 2001 exhibition ofnew Perehudoffs at the Udell Gallery – he has continued to refineand redefine his style, believing like Matisse that the future ofabstract painting is in colour, in light. “That’s what I’ve beentrying to do, to get more light into these things, getting thecolour more integrated, fusing things together.”

Critics have hailed Bill as the spiritual descendant of JackBush, the great Canadian colour-field painter who died in 1977.Bill has won numerous awards, including one from the New YorkState Association of Architects for his architectural photography,and the Saskatchewan Order of Merit and the Order of Canadafor his painting. On October 18, during the fall convocation, hewill receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Regina.This will cap a year of recognition for Bill, during which he hashad one major show at the Mendel and another at the ArtPlacement Gallery in Saskatoon.

Dorothy, for her part, has been acclaimed as an importantupholder of the tradition of landscape painting that has definedart in Saskatchewan ever since the influential English artistAugustus Kenderdine first settled there in 1907. Her awards alsoinclude an honorary doctorate from the U of R and theSaskatchewan Order of Merit, and one of her paintings hangs inthe residence of Canada’s Governor General as a gift from theprovince of Saskatchewan. Like Bill, she also had a show this yearat the Art Placement Gallery.

Robert Christie, co-owner of Art Placement, is a long-timeadmirer of both painters. He says that Bill has become the“cornerstone of the Saskatoon art community” with work that is“always challenging, always contemporary and always good.”Dorothy has kept with the familiar, says Christie, whiledeveloping her skills to the extent “that it would be difficult tofind her equal.”

Isn’t it romantic? Perhaps, says Dorothy, but “as you know,painting is actually a lot of work.” And that’s fine with Bill. “I grewup with that farm ethic,” he has said. “If I don’t paint, I feel guilty.”

In addition to Douglas Udell and Art Placement galleries, Perehudoff andKnowles are represented by Assiniboia Gallery in Regina; Perehudoff by Newzonesin Calgary.

Ted Godwin emerges from hissouthwest Calgary bungalow as Ipark my car out front. “Call me

Ted, and by the way we give hugs in mypart of the country.”

He’s a big man… tall, wide andsolid… and the embrace is warm. “Comein. I’ll take you through the house first,”he says. Inside, I meet Ted’s wife and artschool sweetheart, artist Phyllis Godwin.

Then I meet the elite of the WesternCanadian art world from the last halfcentury – a steady succession of iconsinhabiting every room – mentionedcasually like so many old friends. W.L.Stevenson, Ken Lochhead, Jack Shadbolt,Walter Phillips, Buck Kerr, Max Bates.There’s also a Lismer, a Casson. Ted andPhyllis knew many of these people,several of the pieces gifts or tradesbetween fellow artists, souvenirs of dayspast. “Here’s one by Ernie Lindner. Iremember being with him at Emma Lakewhen he was painting it and both of ustelling each other how to paint,” says Ted,with a twinkle. “He kept coming aroundto my canvas and saying, ‘too muchwiolet.’”

garage which no longer bears anyresemblance to a garage. From theindelible fragrance of turpentine to thepaint spattered concrete floor, this is mostdefinitely Ted’s sanctuary, a place of dailyretreat.

In his book of advice and experience,The Studio Handbook for Working Artists,Ted devotes Chapter Three to adiscussion of the studio. He writes: “Yourcareer will accelerate if you begin withthe premise that you are a realprofessional artist, not the Sundayafternoon variety. So the first thing youhave to do is set a space aside where youmake art and only art.” I look around forthe collected objects that he says ‘sanctify’the space as his own. The red woodenchair that has been in every studio for thepast 30-plus years. The photographs. Oldpaint brushes.

I feel a little voyeuristic. “Not toomany people are invited in here,” he says.In the book, he writes: “Be extremelyguarded and most careful about who orwhat you allow to enter the space. It isyour temple, and your place of worship.”

A table near the entrance is ladenwith wood and tools for making canvassupports. The side wall is stacked withpainted canvases, their secrets turnedfrom view. Another table holds arambling topography of paint tubes, well-used brushes and sticks of charcoal. Onthe opposite wall are stacks of artist’sboxes, and an easel designed by Ted to tiltlarge canvases to various planes. A CDplayer sits amidst towers of discs, mostlyjazz. “Music has always been a part of anystudio I have had…. Let the music filland activate the space,” he advises. Theend wall is clean and white and well-lit.A grand canvas is mounted there, with abramble of charcoal strokes upon itdrizzled with blue and green streaks ofpaint – a fresh forest scene emerging. Theceiling above has been raised, “to let thespirit soar.”

As Rosemary Clooney croons aboutManhattan, Ted invites me to sit uponthe red wooden chair. One by one, hepicks canvases from the stack against thewall and reveals their lush surfaces.Inspired by a trip around Newfoundlandlast fall, these paintings will be featured ina solo exhibition at Wallace Galleries inCalgary in November.

In each, the perspective and scalecreate the impression for the viewer ofbeing a part of the water, an intimateplayer in the forestscape. These are“fisherman’s views” of the scene, says Ted;so many of his pieces have been inspiredby fishing trips to the country’s greatwaters.

It is clear that whenever Ted entersthis studio, he is accompanied by a chorusof memories, voices and experiences froma long and storied career. As a young artistin Regina in the 1960s Ted, like many ofhis contemporaries, was inspired by theabstract expressionism coming particularlyout of New York City. Ted’s earlyinvestigations into abstraction led to theTartan Series. Grid-like tartans allowedthe artist to address questions of scale,figure-ground relationships and Cubistspace and imagery. Following “a longevening with Clement Greenberg” at apivotal Emma Lake workshop led by thefamous New York art critic, Ted decidedto follow his heart and look more tonature as his inspiration.

There’s a very close connectionbetween the serial interweave matrix ofthe tartans and his landscapes, notes Ted,pointing to the intricate intersections andbold, woven lines of the tree branches inhis current paintings. “Nature is just adisorganized tartan,” he says. “These arereally abstractions disguised aslandscapes.” Water holds a particularfascination for Ted – an abstract dance ofcolour, light and anthropomorphic shapesthat becomes, in his hands, the nearlytangible experience of a fisherman’spleasure.

Seeing and painting the abstract innature has provided Ted with critical andcommercial success. He concludes: “I havefound a common ground, serving God andman.”

BIOGRAPHY

Ted Godwin was born in Calgary andstudied at the Southern Alberta

Provincial Institute of Technology & Art(later the Alberta College of Art &Design) from 1951 to 1955. He moved toRegina soon after, and rose to nationalprominence with a 1961 National Galleryexhibition entitled Five Painters fromRegina. The group, including KenLochhead, Ron Bloore, Doug Morton andArt McKay, was soon referred to as theRegina Five.Ted joined the faculty of theSchool of Art at the University of Reginain 1964, and taught until a “decisive heartattack” forced him to retire in 1985. Heand his wife Phyllis returned to Calgarysoon afterwards.Throughout his teachingcareer and since, Ted has been an activeprofessional artist, exhibiting in publicand commercial galleries across thecountry and in the United Kingdom. Hewas elected to the Royal CanadianAcademy in 1974, was made ProfessorEmeritus in 2001, and that same yearreceived the Award of Excellence fromthe Alberta College of Art and anhonorary degree from the University ofRegina.

The Newfoundland Suite opensNovember 15 at Wallace Galleries inCalgary, 403-262-8050, and runs untilNovember 25. Godwin is alsorepresented by Bau-Xi Gallery inVancouver and Toronto, and AssiniboiaGallery in Regina.

PART ONE: THE STUDIOThe studio exists as a space unto itself dedicated to the makingof art – some place, any place, that is set aside specifically forthe act of making art, wherein only art and art-related activitieshappen. Anything from a basement to an attic and all the spacesin between… may be considered.

PERFECTION IS RELATIVEOdds are you will eventually want a studio detached from

your living space. This generally takes one of two forms: aconverted garage or some sort of space in the rundown businesssection of town.

The benefits of a warehouse space are immediate and quiteintriguing. High ceilings, lights and water, not to mention theromance of a New York loft-like setting. I have had studios ofthis type and, while I did enjoy them, I always ended uplistening for strange noises at night. Who knows? Maybe thetension helped me to paint better. It certainly made me paintfaster!

A garage, on the other hand, always needs a lot of work…You will need lighting, insulation, and heating; some rafters willprobably need moving; more electrical circuits will be called for;some solution to a water supply; and a good ventilation system isa must.

Remember, when it comes to evaluating a space for itspotential as a studio, even “perfection” is a relative thing. I havenever worried about the “north light” supposedly favoured byartists. I read somewhere that Seurat painted under artificiallight because that was how his work would eventually be viewed– a very smart move on his part.

FROM SPACE TO STUDIOEstablish possession of the space as quickly as possible.

Before starting any renovation, it is important to make the spaceyour own. My method of doing so is simply to make a paintingin the space.

After I’ve camped in the space for awhile, I draw a floor planto scale. On another page, I make the widest possible list ofactivities I think I might be engaged in, and then prioritizeactivities. Next to each activity I make an inventory of all theparaphernalia associated with that particular activity.

To the outsider, my studio may seem to have no rhyme orreason. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Every tool, aswell as every activity, is assigned a space, and where the tool isstored makes sense in relation to the activity with which it isassociated.

DEALING WITH THE ENEMYThe worst enemy of the artist is dust. In a multi-use space

such as a studio, this can be really deadly, as well as costly. I dealwith this problem in three ways. Frequent cleaning of the spaceis number one. Second, I have an exhaust fan which removesmost of the sawdust in the air and paint overspray... A goodindustrial-grade exhaust fan is an absolute must. Lastly… putcovers over and doors on everything you possibly can. This willat least keep the dust in the centre of the room where you candeal with it better. When you are finished using the space forcarpentry, clean it. You are no longer in art school with a janitorwho comes around every day and cleans up your mess.

environment, and landscapeelements have been inspiredby his recollections of the land, and cities. Works like these aresuggestive of the larger influence of the imagist arm ofSurrealism.

Known primarily for two-dimensional works in graphite,crayon, etchings, linocuts and paintings, Eyre has recently turnedto bronze sculpture. Eyre was elected member of the RoyalCanadian Academy in 1974. He received the Queen’s SilverJubilee medal in 1977 and the University of Manitoba AlumniJubilee Award in 1982.

Ivan Eyre’s works are included in many private and publiccollections in Canada and abroad. Most significantly, homage hasbeen paid to Ivan Eyre in the most public and accessible of allvenues in Winnipeg – the Pavilion Gallery in Assiniboine Park,

IVAN EYREIvan Eyre was born in Tullymet, Saskatchewan, in 1935. Hestudied with some of the best known art teachers at theUniversity of Saskatchewan and the University of Manitoba’sSchool of Art. He was a painting and drawing professor at theUniversity of Manitoba until 1993 and he has had an enduringinfluence on many students. His works are synonymous with theprairies. Particularly iconic are his paintings of the lush forestedriver banks of Manitoba. These views, with the landscapeelements of trunk, limb, branch and leaf meticulously rendered,are often strangely ethereal. They are beautiful and full offoreboding.

Eyre, however, is known for more than just these majesticlandscapes. Sometimes the conflicting elements of acontemporary urban and alienated consciousness take centrestage. Here portraiture, shards and fragments of the built

making him one of only three artists to be celebrated in such afashion. The Pavilion Gallery includes a permanent installationof Eyre’s work, based on a rotating collection of almost 200paintings and 5,000 drawings. Eyre’s new work will be featured atthe Loch Gallery in Winnipeg, 204-235-1033, this fall. (AK)

MARGARET SHELTONMargaret Shelton took an intensity of vision and the formativeinfluences available to her in the 1930s to become one ofAlberta’s most unique wood-cut and watercolour artists. MentorsA.C.Leighton, H.G. Glyde and Walter J. Phillips each brought aunique style of teaching and conveyed new techniques to thisvibrant student. Leighton introduced her to tonal chromatics;

Glyde exposed her to therealism and social narrativeprevalent in England at thattime. Long acknowledged asthe Canadian master of the coloured block print, Phillipsintroduced Shelton to Japanese influences. An attention todetail, the stylization of water elements, and the integration offlattened simplified forms within a narrow tonal range areprevalent in her work. By the mid 1940s and ‘50s, Shelton was aproductive force with her own individual style. This October,Collector's Gallery in Calgary, 403-245-8300, is showingprimarily watercolours and rarely seen prints from Shelton’sestate. (MJ)

NEIL PATTERSONNeil Patterson is a decisive painter. Each landscape is an act ofbold and generous expression in which colour is a liberatingforce. Pushing the colours in his paintings beyond what peopletypically see in the landscape opens their eyes, Patterson says.The next time they venture out, they begin to perceive morecolours in nature. Patterson uses oils straight out of the tube –vibrant, rich and thick – which he mixes and builds directly onthe canvas creating textural dimensions that catch light andcreate shadow. But technique flows from emotion. “There mustbe passion,” Patterson has written. “A painting is not merely areproduction… It must speak to the heart and soul. It is thequality of passion that is of primary importance.” Based in BraggCreek, Alberta, Patterson has an impressive resume of awards andmemberships. One highlight was becoming the first Canadianawarded Signature membership in the Oil Painters of America

BARRY BURDENYBarry Burdeny is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art andthe Slade School in London, but he is a real-life example of theFree Trade Agreement in living colour. His energetic landscapesinclude locales as vastly different in texture and terrain asCozumel, Mexico and Pangnirtung, Nunavut, including manysites and vistas in between. The glacial forms of the Arctic coastappeal to his sensibilities as a wandering artist, while the warmthand heat of the Mexican sun make his colours sizzle and pop. He

has taken thelessons ofabstractexpressionismand regionalscene paintingto heart,combining thesestyles into robustandromanticizedscenes for ourpleasure andwonder. Burdenyembraces colouras the vehicle

for his vibrant paintings in acrylic.He works with abstraction, re-surfacing the landscape with hissweeping brushstrokes and is equallyadept with realist illusionism. His

paintings grace the boardrooms of many corporate collectionsacross Canada. A solo show of Burdeny’s new works will befeatured this fall at the Birchwood Art Gallery in Winnipeg,204-888-5840. The opening reception is Friday, October 10.(AK)

LAUREEN MARCHANDMoving from figurative work to painting intimate garden views isa natural new direction for Saskatoon artist Laureen Marchand.In painting floral close-ups as opposed to distant gardenlandscapes, Marchand has discovered that a flower provides thesame “presentational quality” as her human portraits did.

Another departure forMarchand is in her materials.While still committed tooils, her most recent worksare rendered, for the firsttime, on smooth hardboard.On an extended paintingsojourn in Ireland earlier thisyear, Marchand found thehardboard panels weresimply the easiest to pack.Her overseas experience isalso influencing her nextproject, a series of worksinvolving an artificial roseand many rocky landscapesin Ireland. Marchand’s work,with that of CatherineMacaulay, can be seen in thetwo-person show Friendship’sGardens October 23 toNovember 15 at theMcIntyre Gallery in Regina,306-757-4323. Other worksare on view in Bequest, atouring exhibition that will be in Grande Prairie September 13 toOctober 19 at The Prairie Art Gallery, 708-532-8111. (CM)

DEBORAH WORSFOLDKnown for her lyrical use of colour, Deborah Worsfold createscanvases of exquisite depth and vibrancy. “Life inspires me topaint, and colour is the point of departure,” she says. Early in hercareer, the Vancouver-basedartist painted flowers andprogressed naturally topainting what is aroundthem. “I’m not painting justthe thing in the centre, buteverything around it,everything that supports it.”Her works include interiorsand landscapes and, morerecently, portraiture. Sheprefers acrylics on canvasbut has begun to include oilbar and India ink. “Focusedon domestic and interiorspaces, Deborah uses still life to express a harmony of line andcolour beyond the pure representation of the objects,” says galleryowner Agnes Bugera. Worsfold’s work appears November 8 to 21in a group show entitled All About Colour with Caroline Jamesand Wayne Boucher at the Agnes Bugera Gallery in Edmonton,780-482-2854. A solo show of Worsfold’s still life works entitledStrange World shows November 16 to 30 at LindaLando Fine Artin Vancouver, 604-266-6010. Worsfold is also represented inToronto by the Ingraham Gallery and in Calgary by WallaceGalleries. (HM)

unique style to develop in a specific direction. “That feels good,”he says. “When you’re teaching, you deal with a lot of artappreciation and different techniques and that’s both good andbad, the bad being that your own work starts to jump around alot.” Now, from his home at Kenosee Lake, “an oasis” insoutheastern Saskatchewan, Degenhart is exploring the variedlandscape at different times of day and in all four seasons, intent

on seeing it just as colourand elements of design.Colour in particularmaintains the painter’sinterest in the land near his home: “There is something about theprairies after a storm. It brings out the purples and limes. And ofcourse during canola time and flax time, the colours areabsolutely beautiful.” His recent work will show October 18 toNovember 12 in Continued Progressions at the Pacif’ic Gallery inSaskatoon, 306-373-0755. Degenhart also exhibits at theAssiniboia Gallery in Regina and at Calgary’s GainsboroughGalleries. (CM)

AUDREY PFANNMULLER

Since her early days growingup in a rural northwesternAlberta town, AudreyPfannmuller has found art

and design to be an important means of expression. “I’m a bitdiverse in my subject matter. I like to paint where the peopleare,” she says. After using acrylics, watercolours and oils,Pfannmuller discovered pastels. “Their forgiving nature andintense colour allow me to bring attention to scenes that peoplehave taken for granted. They pass by them everyday withoutreally seeing them, and it’s exciting to make people stop andenjoy the beauty around them.” Whether it’s mountains, prairies,or beach scenes, she strives to capture the positive feelingsinspired by the colours around us. Pfannmuller opened theCandler Art Gallery in Camrose in the 1970s, offering the worksof parkland prairie artists including her own. She is alsorepresented by Pacif’ic Gallery in Saskatoon; Gallery on theLake, Prince Albert; Adele Campbell Fine Art, Whistler;Gallery on Main, Lacombe; Artbeat Gallery, St. Albert; PictureThis, Sherwood Park; and Johnson Gallery in Edmonton.

work which previously had included abstracts. “My work is arepresentation of the idea of nature for contemplation,” he says.“Nature is not a trend, it’s an actual existence which doesn’t getthe support and recognition it deserves.” Wallace says he differsfrom traditional landscape work in that he doesn’t look for ahorizon line, but rather his acrylics get right into the water whereit meets the land; most depict urban wetlands. Wallace’s workappears in numerous collections including the Art Gallery ofOntario, the Government of Alberta and many others. He is featuredin solo exhibitions at the Bau-xi Gallery in Vancouver, 604-733-7011, October 11 to November 1, and at Agnes Bugera Gallery inEdmonton, 780-482-2854, October 25 to November 7. (HM)

MARK SEALWhen it comes to the West Coast of Canada and its ruggedenvironment, Mark Seal feels at home. Raised in a family of

fishers, Seal’s relationship with naturebegan at an early age. The sea, theislands and its wildlife were allinfluential in his penchant for naturaland organic forms. It is not surprising,then, that his sculptures are tactileextensions of his early experiences.Referring to his work as “coastalinspirations,” Seal extracts beautifullyrendered abstract and semi-abstractforms inspired by coastal flora andfauna. Some of his pieces arereminiscent of artists like Brancusiand Moore, while other works aremore literal, relating to actual sea lifeand other natural detritus. Sealprefers to use the natural marble ofVancouver Island for his sculpture,feeling that the stones are central tohis artistic process. No doubt, thecombination of natural forms withindigenous material is what makes hiswork so intriguing. Seal’s work can beseen this fall at Caswell LawrenceFine Art Gallery in Victoria, 250-388-9500.

WILLIAM EAKINWilliam Eakin lives and works in Winnipeg’s historic ExchangeDistrict. Eakin takes everyday life as his subject matter,examining the intersections of art and popular culture. But to callhim a realist would be a mistake. His realist-based photography isall about interpretation. His work is underpinned by a profoundknowledge of technical process and the cultural assignment ofvalue. His gaze is tenacious and the photographic outcomes, oftenworks produced in series, are filled with wonder. Like themodernist masters before him, his work is characterized by formal

rigour, serendipity, and the vagaries of cultural ebb and flow. Arecent exhibition featured bottle caps, blown up to an enormoussize; another emphasized the photo emblazoned decorations offlowers on cookie tins. All to poignant effect.

His work isfeatured in a group exhibition, Sphere, which opens September 13at Presentation House in Vancouver, 604-986-1351; in UnionStockyards at the University of Calgary’s Nickle Arts Museum,403-220-7234, opening September 19; and in a solo exhibition atUniversity of Winnipeg’s Gallery 1C03, 204-786-9253, openingSeptember 25.

TRACY KOBUSTracy Kobus is aBFA graduate fromthe University ofBritish Columbiawho has beenshowing her work inBritish Columbia andAlberta galleries for10 years. For Kobus,landscapes are theplaces where thingshappen, and herwork reflects not theimage of a place, butthe spirit of it. “Mylandscapes are ametaphor for ourminds and are the ground upon which anything can happen.”Kobus takes visual notes and ideas from nature, memories andeveryday life. These interpretations make their way onto a canvaswhere they are transformed into landscapes populated by masksand mythical creatures: “As I work, entire new worlds arerealized.” This year Kobus was chosen to be included inArtropolis 2003, B.C.’s largest visual arts exhibition. Kobuscurrently resides in Courtenay, B.C., where she works as an artistand adult art instructor. Represented by Portfolio Gallery inVancouver, 604-801-6928, Kobus’s new work will be exhibitedNovember 6 to December 3. Her work can also be found at theEclectica Gallery in Sylvan Lake, Alberta.

ROBERT FLORIANA trip to Giverny, France, was life-altering for Robert Florian. Itwas during his visit to Claude Monet’s garden that Floriandecided to become a landscape painter. He returned to Vancouverand spent two years at Langara College studying painting formand technique, then forged out on his own to recreate the wonderof British Columbia’s diverse landscape. Florian’s major influencesbesides Monet are the famous Group of Seven painters. “Theyhad such an appreciation of the world around them,” says Florian,“and landscape art should never die. There are so many ways tointerpret our land.” Artworks Gallery in Vancouver, 604-688-3301, has been representing Robert Florian since 1998;administrator Dorota Szelagowicz agrees that landscape paintingstill has a major following: Florian’s May exhibition completelysold out. “Florian represents the realist landscape of B.C.:unspoiled, beautiful, and always admired,” she says, adding thatFlorian’s work has become a symbol of the province. A secondexhibition of Florian’s works runs November 5 to 30 at Artworks,

PETER SHAUGHNESSYYou know you’re in for something fresh when an exhibition isentitled, What Was He Thinking? The mind in question is that ofartist Peter Shaughnessy. Based in the Chilcotin region ofBritish Columbia, Shaughnessy creates sculptural “boxes” in pine,cedar and alder, mixed with such media as glass, copper, brass,beads, bones and horsehair. These are intricate objects, somefeaturing human figures and all imbued with a sense of livelinessor humour or pathos or, more likely, a mix of ideas. If we couldpush our feelings, emotions and thoughts into a tight ball andforce them into a wooden object – perhaps they’d look like oneof these boxes, says Shaughnessy. Referring to A BalancedFriendship, depicted here, he writes, “In the language of friendshipthis piece speaks several things to me: trust, reliance,dependence, sacrifice, support. All are important components ofa close friendship. Because these two friends are smiling I sensethey have mastered all of these components.” What Was HeThinking? runs September 5 to October 12 at Gallery Xylos inCalgary’s Crossroads Market, 403-261-8723. Shaughnessy is also

represented by Crafthouse inVancouver and Mountain CraftGallery, Whistler, B.C.(JCMac)

PHOTOGRAPHER: CHRIS GERGLEY

Vancouver photographer Chris Gergley was born inRegina, Queen City of the prairies. Gergley records the

everyday in a fantastic way.This image, taken from an April2000 solo exhibition called Queen City at Monte ClarkGallery in Vancouver, illustrates the quasi-documentarystyle he used to find common themes throughout Regina.

Regina is celebrating its centenary year, and the city’sMacKenzie Art Gallery is commemorating that event, inaddition to its own 50th anniversary, with a group exhibitiontitled That’s My Wonderful Town, September 20 to January20.The exhibition looks at Regina through the eyes of 17artists, including Gergley.

“On the surface this appears to be a banal photograph of afamiliar place, one that doesn’t exist anymore,” saysGergley.“To me, it speaks of our connection to themonarchy, and the passing of another phase in WesternCanadian history.The photo helped title an entire body ofwork.”
