About the Item
This exhibition highlights Adam Gunn’s latest work, consisting of oil paintings on wood panels. This recent body of work was inspired by three coinciding events in the artist’s life: his return to his home province of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, at the height of the Covid pandemic, obtaining his driver’s license, and his introduction to plein air painting by local artists. The artist traveled through his home province, painting on-site to capture the natural beauty and illustrate the diversity of Nova Scotia’s landscape (Project made possible through a grant from Arts Nova Scotia).
Adam Gunn is an artist (primarily a painter) currently based in Nova Scotia Canada. He has accumulated a BFA from NSCAD University in Halifax and an MFA from Concordia University in Montreal. He’s been the recipient of the Nancy Petry Foundation award, a two-timer semi-finalist in the RBC Canadian Painting Competition and the Nova Scotian winner in BMO’s 1st! Art Competition. He has received grants from Canada Council and the Nova Scotia Arts Council.

Adam Gunn
Adam Gunn's painting practice began with a desire to subvert the traditional still life genre, creating an absurd experience that would evoke a sense of uncertainty in the viewer. Initially, they painted from observed forms, exaggerating them and creating surreal compositions. However, their newer works incorporate a variety of sources, including imagination and organic processes to create indeterminate spaces and shapes. The artist is drawn to the unpredictable process that creates these forms and has begun painting in a more improvisational manner, balancing this with planning to emulate the process of natural evolution in their paintings. The artist received a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and has been recognized for their works in various competitions, including being a finalist in the RBC Painting Competitions and a regional winner in the BMO 1st! Art competition. Originally from Nova Scotia, the artist currently resides in Montreal, pursuing graduate studies in art at Concordia University.

My painting is an inquiry. I make images as a way of responding to experiences that are important to me. Experiences that help me to understand why I’m in this world often happens when I am outside in large open spaces.
Painted images act as a tool. I respond to the spaces my art suggests. That response is usually non-verbal. I am interested in the experience of non-duality that “getting lost” in big spaces can sometimes produce for me. The paintings have gone through a range of artistic treatments with the recent years seeing a focus on space, light, textures, atmosphere and distance.
My landscape paintings are made from memory, not from on-site drawings or photographs. I use memory as a filtering agent to remove non-essential visual elements. When a work is successful, it must have a sense of poetry.
