BILL PORTEOUS MFA

Education:

MFA Otis Art Institute Painting, Lithography, L.A., Calif.

BFA Otis Art Institute

Associate of Arts, Fine Arts Major, El Camino College, Torrance, Calif.

From the beginning Porteous’s work has embraced abstraction as an overriding approach to art making. From his earliest figurative sculptures and paintings to his first abstract paintings in the mid 60’s his work has continued to explore the idea that painting is a philosophical ground of inquiry. Rejecting the deconstruction of painting as an easy way out, his works take shape within the limitations inherent in painting on a defined surface. While embracing the inherent phenomenological properties of color, shape, value and surface, his works are informed by a lifelong interest in music and baseball.

Bill’s works are represented in Los Angeles through the William Turner Gallery.

His work can be viewed at his studio in Victoria by appointment and at D’Ambrosio + Urbanism Architecture, Victoria BC.

Works are also available through the AGGV Art Rental Program, Victoria, BC.
