David CantineThings With Tops - small, orange, minimalist, still life on plexiglass2012
2012
About the Item
Two rectangular shapes one in painterly brown the other in dark navy are topped with white and beige. These enigmatic and humorously titled "things with tops" are contrasting outcrops on a precisely painted ground of rectangles. The rectangles in shades of yellow follow the artist's minimalist and contemplative approach to acrylic painting on plexiglass. The work can be shipped as is, unframed, or a frame could be determined and added prior to shipping (which will add to the shipping cost).
Cantine's work is a poetic and intellectual exploration of a pictorial problem, color as structure which has infinite variations. 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.

Red and Orange #1 - bright, abstract, minimalist, acrylic on plexiglass
By David Cantine
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Curated circles of silver, black, tangerine orange, and cherry red define the dove grey ground of this square minimalist acrylic painting on plexiglass. The areas between the shapes are completed with custard yellow and maroon. This work comes framed. Framed dimensions are approximately 20.5 x 20.5 inches.
Cantine's work is a poetic and intellectual exploration of a pictorial problem, color as structure which has infinite variations. Cantine was quoted in the Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art 2000: "For the past 26 years, I have painted essentially the same still life, which began as a pair of apples and its shadow, and evolved under pressure of color into the present imagery." 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.
