About the Item
Charles Pachter, considered to be one of Canada’s greatest living contemporary artists has embraced a new subject—flowers. Toronto born Pachter is best known for his iconic pop art paintings of barns, the moose, the Queen and the Canadian flag. But this new series of single flowers is both very real and sensual. Pachter’s characteristic bold colours dominate the canvas and the contrast between the rich ‘royal’ purple petals and the sky blue elevates the beauty and isolation of the image. Irises symbolize wisdom and valour and inspired the ‘fleur-de-lis,’ a decorative symbol used widely by French Royalty in the Middle Ages.
A graduate of the University of Toronto and the Sorbonne-Paris, Pachter is also a printmaker, sculptor, designer and author. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada, a Chevalier of France's Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and twice a recipient of the Queen's Jubilee medal. He has honorary Doctorate degrees from the Ontario College of Art & Design, the University of Toronto and Brock University. His paintings are in public and private collections around the world.
Framed size is 28 x 34 inches.

Charles Pachter
One of Canada’s leading contemporary artists, Charles Pachter is a painter, printmaker, sculptor, designer, historian, and lecturer. His work is pursued by significant private and public collections.
Born in Toronto, Pachter studied art history at the University of Toronto, French literature at the Sorbonne and painting and graphics at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. His work has been exhibited at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Royal Ontario Museum, and the McMichael Gallery. Pachter is represented in public and private collections throughout Canada, and internationally. He has held solo exhibitions in France, Germany, Japan, the UK, and India.
Pachter worked at Expo 67 in Montreal supervising the installation of 60 contemporary sculptures from around the world. He taught printmaking at the University of Calgary in 1969–70.
