John Lennard
“The landscape speaks to me like no other subject matter. Working in oil paint on canvas I try to capture the elements of the larger issues that nature presents using bold colour and tonal contrasts. I feel challenged by the inherent characteristics of my surroundings and believe that is possible to make meaningful art about these characteristics. I attempt to organize the surface where every move is related to every other by placement, direction, scale and colour. There are descriptive elements, but I try not to lose sight of the larger issues that represent my thought and energy, not merely engage in a copying instinct or descriptive facility.”
John Lennard
Local Colour September 30 - November 13, 2021
Rails End Gallery heralds the return of Fall colour with "Local Colour", an exhibition of 13 recent oil paintngs by Minden painter, John Lennard. His mastery of pigments and knowledge of how colours play beautifully together are a perfect pairing with Ontario's Highlands. While you're taking in the annual colour bath the boreal forest offers, or on a Studio Tour, be sure to stop in and see John Lennard's work.
