About the Item

He loved to paint people and places. Ted Harrison became one of Canada’s most popular artists known for his brightly coloured paintings that depicted the world around him. This modern landscape of a mountain, a classic Japanese pagoda, a gate, a lake, two figures in traditional dress, and two birds is rendered in vivid blues, pinks, orange, purple, yellow, white and a touch of black. It’s a charming, joyful piece. "Life is a rainbow road, multicoloured with the most brilliant hues and contrasting with the darkest tones.” Ted Harrison Harrison was born (1925-2015) in a small English village. He obtained a Diploma in Design from the Hartlepool College of Art in 1950. He and his family emigrated to the Yukon in the 1960’s where he painted, wrote children’s books and began a life-long career teaching. The land and the people of the Yukon became his ‘Shangri-la’. In 1987 he was awarded an Order of Canada for his contribution to Canadian culture. In 1993 he moved to Victoria, BC to continue his painting and writing. He was inducted in the Royal Conservatory of the Arts in 2005. Harrison’s paintings are held in private and public collections throughout Canada, the U.S. ,New Zealand, Japan, and Germany.

  • "Ribbon" Extra-Large Contemporary Landscape Painting By American Martin Hoffman
    By Martin Hoffman
    Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
    Introducing "Ribbon," an extraordinary painting from the "Jersey Meadow Series" by Martin Hoffman in the 1970s. From the 1970s onwards, Hoffman's career showcased a masterful combination of beautiful painting techniques and challenging subject matter. This contemporary painting depicts an abandoned landscape with a hypnotic blue plastic ribbon at its center. Hoffman's landscape creates an almost mesmerizing effect, where the subject matter of destruction and decay is presented poetically. The warm shades of grey with hints of blue, brown, and purple create a limited yet powerful palette that enhances the melancholic beauty of the painting. The painting measures 151cm x 202cm / 59.5in x 79.5in and is signed 'Martin Hoffman' on the reverse side of the canvas. It is titled 'Ribbon' and is dated '73.' Additionally, the artist specifies that the painting is part of the 'Jersey Meadow Series.' It is ready to hang and comes with a silver-painted frame. The condition of the painting is great, with hardly any signs of wear. The frame has a few scratches but is otherwise in good condition. Artist Bio: Martin Hoffman was a versatile artist and illustrator, mostly known for his paintings. He was a self-taught painter and a gifted drummer who had worked as an art director for the Miami News, Graphic Arts Inc., and Steiner & Wall Advertising. In 1973, Martin Hoffman landed his first solo exhibition at the OK Harris...
