Blake Wilson and Mike Judd, "THE CASTLE RIVER AND PORCUPINE HILLS," Invitation
Reception: Saturday, April 29, 7:00pm
THE CASTLE RIVER AND PORCUPINE HILLS is a two-person exhibition by Blake Wilson and Mike Judd. Large canvases showcase their engagement with both the language of painting and the importance of the natural environment. Each artist has a distinct palette and personal approach to the praxis of painting, but have found a fellowship in the themes, motifs and importance of their subjects. Blake Wilson is a retired educator with his practice based in Lethbridge. He has been a long time participant in the arts community and has participated in innumerable group exhibitions. Mike Judd lives in the foothills, where he is an ardent conservationist and has spent a lifetime guiding hunters, trail-riders and dog-sledding tours. His life as an outfitter has influenced his philosophy extensively and guided him along the path from hunter-trapper to conservation activist and artist.
