About the Item
Contemporary artist Fiona Ackerman creates acrylic paintings that are expressive, richly detailed, graphic and colourful. This composition features a collage of images in various forms that explore the theme of power found in water, wind, and the sun. The colour palette is a mix of blues, yellows, red, green and white. Black offers bold contrast. Ackerman is perhaps best known for colourful botanical paintings but much of her work focuses on abstraction.
“I found that the process of doing abstract painting feels a little bit like using calculus, as a metaphor. In a sense, it’s a little bit of intellectual problem-solving, composition, and colour, and it’s how close can you get to something without actually getting there. So, it’s paring down until you can get just as close to that balancing point as possible.”
Fiona Ackerman
Fiona Ackerman was born in Montreal, studied painting at Concordia University and completed a BFA at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2002. She has held more than 20 solo exhibitions internationally. Fiona’s studio practice extends beyond painting to include several large-scale murals and other public art projects. In her free time, she writes and records music and videos, often working with other musicians. She currently lives and works in Vancouver BC.

Fiona Ackerman
Originally from Montreal, Fiona Ackerman studied paintings at Concordia University and completing a BFA at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2002. She currently lives and works in Vancouver BC and exhibits her work internationally (Canada, Europe, USA, UK and Asia). Fiona’s studio practice extends beyond painting to include several large-scale murals, video projections and other public art projects. In her free time, she writes and records music and videos, often working collaboratively with other musicians. Rooted in abstraction, I want to push my work in divergent directions, to surprise myself, and keep the possibilities for my painting wide open. Working in series, I develop a stylistic language specific to the mood or conceptual objectives I'm working on. Over the years, my work has seen many different stylistic evolutions. I see my arc of work much like that of an author. Each series is like a new book, different in tone, style, and story. But they are all part of a larger archive, and each a meaningful piece of the whole. - Ackerman
