River City : New works from Peter McConville

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 18:59:44 +0000

Landscape painting has been Peter's focus for the last several years. While he was recovering in hospital from a recent illness, Peter could look out his window onto the Red River set against the backdrop of Winnipeg's skyline. To Peter, rivers, in their varied moods, represent a metaphor for the seasons of life. This is the inspiration for his latest series of work.

Wilf Perreault, Three Sides

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:31:57 +0000

Wilf Perreault was born in Albertville in 1947. His formal training began at the University of Saskatchewan, where his concern for representational painting was at odds with the New York style abstraction dominant at that time in Saskatchewan. During this time he encountered the landscape paintings of Reta Cowley and Dorothy Knowles, whose expressive play with light in the landscape became a strong influence. After graduating with his BFA in 1970 and a BEd in 1971, and moved to Regina to teach art. There, his explorations of his new city became linked with his search for a subject matter. Perreault rejected conventional landscape views, becoming fascinated instead with the complex vistas to be found in the back lanes of the inner city. These hidden landscapes have sustained his interest throughout his career, providing an ongoing challenge to his skills in creating works that capture the play of light and reflection, evoking a human context that saturates his work with a sense of place. Since the 1980s Perreault has worked full-time as an artist, exploring various subject matters such as portraits, while never abandoning his fascination with back lanes. He has participated in solo and group exhibitions throughout Canada and the United States, and in 1989 was chosen to be one of five artists representing Canada in Les Jeux de la Francophonie in Morocco, where he won the Silver Medal. Perreault’s work can be found in public, private and corporate collections throughout North America. Click here to view works by Wilf Perreault
