Deon Venter, "Snow Painting - Cariboo," 2019

oil/linen, 20" x 42"

Two fresh 'Snow Paintings' by Deon Venter - modest in scale but monumental in scope - exhibiting a strong affinity to the Canadian landscape paintings of the second quarter of the 20th century. That movement was typified by the now classic paintings of the Group of Seven and their contemporaries and followers, with their focus on the vast Canadian wilderness.

In his interpretations of scenes from British Colombia, Deon employs a heavy impasto and contemporary mark making to bring them forward into the 21st century.
