Rob Elphinstone: Feature Artist
The vegetation and weather of Vancouver Island are the inspiration for this painting, capturing the wildness rather than the realistic details.
“[Rob] whips up oil paint into a froth and then moulds it into swirling shapes, revealing like Van Gogh the underlying patterns of which our landscapes are made. He seems to be channeling every chapter of Canadian art history (Group of Seven, Emily Carr, Paul Emile Borduas) in his vigorous and rambunctious paintings.” - Robert Amos
