Artist's Comments

Acrylic on canvas, 36" x 30"
Status: Sold

Commission piece. Slight variation on Granville Island Morning but a lot more chaotic with the color and, truthfully, real Vancouverites will know that the mountains aren't quite positioned as such in this particular angle. Also, my reference photo was taken in the summer but I wanted more color and snow on the mountains, so I changed the season to autumn and the lighting to late morning.

Nonetheless, the office buildings of the downtown core are uniform, regular, and reflective compared to the bright ex-industrial mess that is my beloved Granville Island community. I live there, my son goes to school there, my gym and community center and gallery are all there. I know this place and all its corners and grooves and rats-nests like the back of my hand. I drove over that bridge every day for years.

This is my third take on this scene. I wanted to emphasize the contrast of the downtown regularity against the neon-bright GI community separated by the lovely art deco Burrard Street bridge.

There is no way to measure an artist, or their work, because nothing matters, but their vision. Their acceptance by the rest of the world is merely external.

See enough horror and experience enough pain and you become separated from your self.

An artist must create as often as possible. To cease this task is, to the soul of an artist, as ceasing to breathe.
