Charles Pachter (b. 1942) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists. His iconic, uplifting, and patriotic images have independently earned their place in the nation's museums and the Canadian art canon. The Barn, along with Queen Elizabeth and the Moose, forms a triad of icons that Charles Pachter has repeatedly visited over the course of his career. Playful and a touch irreverent, Pachter's charming imagery presents a new narrative on Canadiana. The artist’s vast body of work includes painting, sculpture, printmaking, and drawing. Pachter’s works are widely sought-after and are an ideal selection for starting or continuing a collection of 20th-century Canadian art. Pachter's confident colors, sharp lines, and graphic qualities are instantly recognizable and continue to be a mainstay throughout his oeuvre. Completed in 2021, this exemplary painting introduces Pachter's flowers, a brand new subject for the artist that inspired a series of work early on in the pandemic. Realized in a time of uncertainty and despair, this tranquil piece is remarkably optimistic. Featuring a rose in full bloom, Pachter captures the center of the flower and depicts its alluring, outward expression in this fragrant piece. His characteristically bold, unmodulated colors flood the background of the canvas, maintaining his distinct graphic style in this otherwise supple composition. This piece serves as a striking example of Pachter's signature aesthetic, this time achieved through a fresh and entirely new subject. Pachter's work is represented in both public and private collections across Canada including the Art Gallery of Ontario, The Portrait Gallery of Canada, The Royal Ontario Museum, and the McMichael Gallery. In recognition of his outstanding achievements, Pachter holds the prestigious position of Officer of the Order of Canada and is also a recipient of the Queen’s Jubilee medal. "August Rose...
