Exhibition Text

A 144×60in giclee on matte paper. Proscenium was commissioned in response to an adjacent Manumie glass work. With its vertical orientation inspired by 14th-Century Milanese painter Bernardino Luini the piece is here sectioned into vertical tiers, and references both the tree lined streets of Canada's chic urban districts and its expansive and varied natural landscape. The stage is set for exploration as the scene unfolds upwards from its rippled marbled foreground through shores and onto aerial views of coastal cities and mountainous ranges-painted with a historical Canadian landscape aesthetic.
