245 terr jacques leonard
36x36", oil/acrylic on canvas, 2010
on view at muse gallery in toronto, until nov. 4
In this series of paintings I was noticing how influenced I was by my surroundings - my neighborhood, my daily walks to the studio taking narrow back alleys, the view from my window of the jacques cartier bridge and la Ronde, and the industrial landscape along the st-laurence river. I am especially drawn to othe way things change after dark, where a lot gets edited out and only certain details are highlighted with the streetlights or in windows. That's similar to the way I work, where I start out with more information and then edit a lot out.
