About the Item

This contemporary, pop-art, portrait of Margaret Atwood is by Charles Pachter. In brilliant, bright colours Charles Pachter pays homage to his long-time friend, the Canadian writer Margaret Atwood. This fun Andy Warhol-like portrait—a serigraph shows the iconic author sporting orange wings, a caterpillar ‘pen’ in hand—a clever reference to metamorphosis? The colour palette--bright yellow, purple, black and pink. Pachter is a much-admired Canadian artistic polymath, his colourful contemporary artwork merges playful even irreverent elements with deeply iconic imagery. Edition 5 of 10. FRAMED 32.5 × 39 in “Life is full of serendipitous meetings; chance meetings and I was lucky enough to meet Margaret Atwood when we were both summer camp counsellors in the sixties. She became my muse and my mentor.” Charles Pachter A painter, printmaker, sculptor, designer, and author, Pachter is a graduate of the University of Toronto and the Sorbonne-Paris. He is an Officer of the prestigious Order of Canada, a Chevalier of France's Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and twice a recipient of the Queen's Jubilee medal. He has honorary doctorate degrees from the Ontario College of Art & Design, the University of Toronto, and Brock University. His paintings and sculptures are in public and private collections around the world.
