Andre Petterson, "Dusk," 2022

mixed media on panel.

Bau-Xi Gallery presents Horizon, a new and timely series from celebrated Vancouver artist Andre Petterson. Working in his signature mixed media format integrating photography and paint, Petterson continues to explore the reality of climate change, this time focusing on the elements of rebirth and hope. Traditionally understood markers of calm - trees, flowers, fountains and charming house fronts - are digitally placed dissonantly beyond the shoreline or at the foot of frothing waves, yet continue to bloom and gleam in the sun despite the rising waters. The compositions are then dappled with brushstrokes, further suggesting  the amorphous realm of thought and "What If".  

Andre Petterson is a Canadian painter born in Rotterdam, Netherlands and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He has been based on BC's West Coast since 1970. 

Petterson has exhibited in both private and public galleries in Canada and the United States. He is the recipient of The National Film Board of Canada Award, and has work featured in numerous private and public collections including Canada Council Art Bank, Canadian Airlines, Vancouver General Hospital, Claridge Investments, Duracell Canada, Esso Resources Canada, Pan-Pacific, Seattle, WA, Polygon Group Ltd., Richmond Public Art, St. Paul’s Hospital, Vancouver, BC, Wall Centre Garden Hotel.
