About the Item
The artist thinks of their paintings primarily as landscapes. Lately, these landscapes have taken on a more manufactured feel rather than organic. At first glance, the subjects may appear to be monumental forms like prairies and mountains, but upon closer inspection, they could actually be smaller, more manageable things like objects on a blanket or figures on a rug. The subjects have a tactile quality and their scale is ambiguous.
The paintings are arranged in a shallow, semi-aerial perspective, and the forms within them are often depicted in three dimensions. Each artwork incorporates an element of illusion, similar to what we see in traditional paintings. However, upon closer examination, the forms depicted seem to be made up of nothing other than paint itself or possibly a related material like modeling clay. These are abstract compositions that have risen slightly above the two-dimensional plane in order to represent a variety of things.
Even though the artist considers these paintings to be landscapes, they rarely consist of objects that resemble grass, trees, or water. The ground of the painting is simply paint that twists and transforms, taking on the appearance of buildings, targets, ropes, sticks, worms, cones, clouds, bubbles, and areas of flat color. The ground is an unreliable element caught in the act of self-transformation. There is a sense of movement in the paintings that challenges the weight and solidity of the objects depicted. These works use the language of abstract painting to question the nature of representation.

- Random Stone of OblivionBy Adam GunnLocated in Montreal, QuebecI made these paintings in response to a prediction for a change in the colour of the sky and oceans as a consequence of man-made climate change. This idea described by Peter Ward in his book Under a Pale Green Sky is based on his study of the great mass extinction events of the past. For many of these extinction events the earth’s chemistry changed the sky to green and the oceans purple. My personal memories are often tied to colour – my first recollection is of an orange cup being handed to me, and I can vividly remember the very first time I was able to wield colour with a red crayon. As a painter, I acutely feel the significance of this change in colour of the world’s landscapes...Category
