Canada House Gallery is very proud to feature a comprehensive retrospective of Allen Sapp’s work one year after his passing. Born in 1928 on the Red Pheasant Reserve, Saskatchewan, Sapp rose through adverse conditions, a harsh upbringing to share his memories and experiences through a naive and honest style of painting. This exhibition will feature over 50 paintings dating from the 1960’s to 2011. In 1975 he was accepted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Art and in 1987 was awarded the Officer of the Order of Canada. In 2003, he received the Governor General's Award for English language children's illustration for the book, The Song Within My Heart. He passed away on Dec 28, 2015.
