Halin de Repentigny: Metamorphosis
to
Madrona Gallery 606 View Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8W 1J4
Halin de Repentigny, "Metamorphosis," oil on canvas, 30" x 40"
This collection of paintings builds on the Halin de Repentigny's signature aesthetic of immediate and intuitive impressions of various locations around the Yukon. Over the last three decades, de Repentigny has grown his reputation from local bushman artist to one that is nationally recognized, capturing a unique experience of life in the Canadian wilderness.
As an exhibition, Metamorphosis stays true to its name, as the experience of creating this collection of works offered de Repentigny the opportunity to grow and challenge himself as an artist:
“I always paint my landscapes outside and this year I pushed myself with much larger canvases than I usually work with for such a time-sensitive undertaking. This made time the biggest challenge, second to light.”
de Repentigny succeeds in his endeavor of portraying the incredible drama of the northern landscape on a larger scale, and his mastery of light, colour, and movement is clearly demonstrated in this new collection of works.
