I Do (Second Version) - contemporary, abstract, text, acrylic on panel

2015

About the Item

An iconic phrase—‘I DO’—traditionally used in marriage vow ceremonies becomes the focal point for this contemporary painting by Graham Gillmore. The Canadian artist uses everyday language, phrases, and lyrics to create visually arresting and engaging colourful compositions. In this piece, a ‘wash’ of white and yellow appears against a fresh green backdrop. The words, ‘I DO’— in a bold modern font appear in white. “My work relies on autobiography. It borders on the confessional.” Graham Gillmore Born in Vancouver, Graham Gillmore studied at Emily Carr College of Art and Design. His work has appeared in numerous exhibitions including the MOMA, NY, the Tate Modern, London, and Galería Fucares, Madrid. His artwork is held in permanent collections such as Colección Jumex, Mexico, S.M.A.K. in Ghent, Belgium, Gian Enzo Sperone collection, Italy, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto, and the Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada. He lives and works in New York City and Winlaw, BC.

American Family No. 3
By Travis Walker
Located in Bozeman, MT
For the last 10 years Travis Walker has made landscape paintings about Jackson Hole, a place that never ceases to inspire him to pick up his brushes. He works on location, capturing the essence of the seemingly mundane scenes around town: an old salon, a decaying house with a fence made of skis, a vintage trailer park. His work is influenced by the work of American regionalists Edward Hopper and Grant Wood, Japanese printmaking, and German Expressionism. Travis Walker is the founder and director of Teton Artlab, a nonprofit arts organization that provides studio space for artists. He was born in 1976 in Tokyo, Japan, and earned his BFA in Painting and Printmaking in 2000 from Virginia Commonwealth University. Recent group exhibitions include the 2012 Western Visions Show and Sale and the 2013 and 2012 Takin' It to the Streets Art Fair, among many others. Solo exhibitions include "American Dreams" in 2012 at Cowboy Coffee...
