Beschreibung:
John Leroux, an art historian, teacher, and retired architect, is the manager of collections and exhibitions at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. He has authored or edited seventeen books and contributed to many others. His most recent publications include Peter Powning: A Retrospective and the award-winning Wabanaki Modern: The Artistic Legacy of the 1960s "Micmac Indian Craftsmen," which he co-authored with Emma Hassencahl-Perley.
Montreal-based painter Michael Smith is known for his fluid and impasto surfaces as well as his ability to strike a poetic balance between representation and abstraction. Inspired by art history as well as historic and current events, Smith pulls from various sources to create his energetic landscapes and seascapes. J.M.W. Turner's The Fountain of Indolence, George Chambers's depictions of 19th-century Arctic expeditions, and Jean Paul Riopelle's palette knife abstractions continually shape Smith's understanding of landscape painting, while historically focused projects push the boundaries of his subject matter.
