Graham Gillmore Art

Canadian, b. 1963

Following graduation from the Emily Carr School of Art and Design in 1985, Graham Gillmore and fellow grads Douglas Coupland, Angela Grossmann, Derek Root and Atilla Richard Lukacs founded the artistic group Futura Bold. Within a year of showing works in Vancouver, Gillmore and the other members of the group were selected by Scott Watson to present in the famed “Young Romantics” exhibition. This display at the Vancouver Art Gallery launched the careers of five of Canada’s most outstanding young artists.

In 1986, Gillmore moved to New York City where he exhibited his word-play paintings at numerous galleries including the 49th Parallel gallery and the Mary Boone Gallery. Since then, Gillmore has exhibited widely in galleries and museums across the U.S., Canada and Europe, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern and Canada House in London, the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, the South Carolina Museum and the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. He has been featured in publications such as Canadian Art, W magazine, Art News, ArtForum, L.A. Weekly, C Magazine and the New York Times Magazine.

Gillmore’s work is held in numerous private, corporate and public collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent in Belgium, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Toronto, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the University of Lethbridge in Alberta and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Nostalgia Mohammad Ariyaei 21st Century art Contemporary Iranian outsider paint
By Mohammad Ariyaei
Located in Paris, FR
Acrylic paint on canvas Hand-signed lower right « Here the barbaric or savage ceremonies of New Guinea take on the air of Rio carnival. Here the vitality bursts and the colors dance the jig while thundering. A charivari of African masks, children's drawings and neon colors invades the meticulously meshed backdrops with volcanic overflows. It seems that within a kindergarten class, merry feathered wizards have joined together to cover the canvas or the paper with totemic figures strewn with the most inventively unexpected graffiti, in a creative frenzy so bubbling that the anarchy that threat recovers as in spite of itself a semblance of balance. The graphic design performs an enveloping and virtuoso dance that passes from the most wisely academic exercise to the most exuberant and Dionysian lyrical expressionism. It's flamboyant, paroxysmal and wonderfully joyful. Should we detect here any influence of the spirit of "outsider art", today widespread worldwide? Perhaps, but then it is undeniable that the personal temperament of Mohammad ARIYAEI...
