Gregory Kitterle
Last Harrah

2017

About the Item

Kitterle's paintings count stories of hidden cities, magical places and mythological characters. At times, like for this work titled The Last Harrah, they are allegorical comments. The Last Harrah refers to the danger caused by humans to the health of our environment and their blindness to see it. A blue sky that is inexorably shrinking and a sailing boat approaching a green beach full of debris. "This painting is a metaphor of what is left when a stage is cleared of its actors. Is the cloth left behind dirty laundry or banners to beauty? Is the pile one of archaeological treasure of a great performance recreated for ages or a pile of debris, discarded, from a role poorly played? Here, the stage is the earth, nature the director and humanity the lead actor." GK The artist writes: "Irregularities of my painting surfaces, stains, blotches and scratches, created while working become specters that rise to tell their tale; each as individual as the eyes that behold them. My conversing with these specters of the various materials is like wandering in a labyrinth. Some are clear, offering easy images to share. Others sunken only whispering their possibilities. With its depth sometimes as thin as a sheet of paper, yet one can wander in it for miles and many hours. The images in my work are from tales told to me during my spectral wanderings in this labyrinth of surface."

  • "Man Overboard", oil painting, figurative, man, woman, bikini, recline, gaze
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    "Man Overboard" is an oil painting with chalk and graphite on wood panel, and measures 16" high by 12" wide. It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending the artwork a particular warmth and liquidity that is rare and lovely to behold. Typical of the artist, the painting is a mystery despite its apparent simplicity – a woman wearing part of her bikini stretches out beside a pool or body of water, while another figure hovers nearby. The title Man Overboard would suggest the woman's pose and partial nudity have completely derailed the man's intentions – perhaps driven him to distraction. Note the restrained color palette, the subtle toning of the wood surface, the bodies rendered and bodies suggested. The surface is very interesting – drawn lines and painterly brushstrokes to be sure, but also the toned wood coming through as color and texture. All of it held, as if in time, by the resin layer acting as a lens to both transmit this picture and admit light to the picture. A true artifact. From Will Hudson...

  • "Fence Jumper", oil painting, figurative, boy, flight, field, outside, summer
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    "Fence Jumper" is an oil painting with chalk and graphite on wood panel, and measures 16" high by 12" wide. It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending the artwork a particular warmth and liquidity that is rare and lovely to behold. Typical of the artist, the painting is a mystery despite its apparent simplicity – a boy, a young lad leaps over the fence, seen here mid-flight. It's clearly important to the boy. His focus and sense of achievement ring out. Drawn lines and painterly brushstrokes render the scene, but also note the toned wood coming through as color and texture. All of it held, as if in time, by the resin layer acting as a lens to both transmit this picture and admit light to the picture. A true artifact. From Will Hudson...

It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending the artwork a particular warmth and liquidity that is rare and lovely to behold.
