Mitchell Fenton, "63 Condor," 2020

oil on canvas, 40" x 50"

It's summertime! We yearn for it most months of the year - and now it is here. It is truly the time for the great outdoors, the woods, the wilderness: so into our sensational Canadian backyard we plunge with our camping conveyances - "recreational vehicles" - of all shapes and sizes.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Ever since I was a kid,

I’ve enjoyed crossing the Prairies and going camping in the Mountains.

It’s not the Destination,

or the Journey that is important,

it’s the Gear!

I LOVE Vintage Campers!

I love seeing what everyone else is travelling in too – on the road and in the campground.

In celebration of the too-long-awaited camping season, Gibson Fine Art is pleased to present the latest exhibition of iconic new works from Mitchell Fenton. Fenton whimsically, playfully, centre-stages his deep interest and love for vintage campers amid scenery and wildlife that vividly captures the definitive Canadian mountain grandeur. It's about where we're going, shouts Fenton's work - but it is also very much about how we get there.
