David Cantine
Still Life Blue - bright, geometric abstract, minimalist, acrylic on plexiglass

2000

About the Item

Four precisely configured and painted circles form a contemplative pyramid at the foot of a neutral ground. The areas between the shapes in this minimalist still life acrylic on plexiglass are filled with cream and maroon. Cantine's work is a poetic and intellectual exploration of a pictorial problem, color as structure which has infinite variations. His paintings may take up to two years to complete. This work is currently unframed and exhibited on a ledge or table top. The work may also be framed. Cantine may be referred to as a post-minimalist, a term coined by Robert Pincus-Witten in 1971 to describe work with a minimalist tendency but that uses modest materials and aims towards a pure formalist aesthetic. David Cantine is a senior Canadian painter who has been exploring the still life for many years. Cantine was born in Jackson, Michigan (1939) and studied at the University of Iowa (BFA, MA) before moving to Alberta and working as a professor in the Department of Art and Design at the University of Alberta (1965 – 96). His work has been exhibited at the Art Gallery of Alberta, FAB Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art among others and is represented in numerous private and public collections.

By Peggy Cyphers
