Painting Competition

The RBC Canadian Painting Competition 2003

 

2003

Western Canada

Chris Dorosz
Winnipeg, Manitoba
Screen 2, 2003
48 x 72
Industrial staples, sparkles, acrylic/gel medium on canvas

Chris uses paint as a metaphor to the physical world pushing towards virtual reality. On canvas, he mimics a screen monitor through the grid work of industrial staples and various paint mediums. Screen 2 depicts the idea of slowing down the quickness of monitor imagery.

Jurors:

  • Bob Boyer artist; department head, Indian Fine Arts,
    First Nations University of Canada
    Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
  • Wanda Koop artist
    Winnipeg, Manitoba
  • Paul Kuhn director, Paul Kuhn Gallery
    Calgary, Alberta

Eastern Canada

Peter Dykhuis
Bedford, Nova Scotia
Radar Paintings/Series 3, 2003
48 x 48
Encaustic, enamel on 12 panels

Radar Paintings/Series 3 is developed from several images of precipitation patterns recorded at a weather station located in Halifax. The satellite point of view maps out territory and weather patterns and becomes the subject matter that encapsulates how landscape can be represented in a digitally constructed, connected, and scrutinized world.

Jurors:

  • Jocelyne Aumont owner and director, Galerie Trois Points
    Montreal, Quebec
  • Ingrid Jenkner curator, Mount St. Vincent Gallery
    Halifax, Nova Scotia
  • Jeffery Spalding director and chief curator, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia
    Halifax, Nova Scotia

Central Canada

Chris Rogers
Toronto, Ontario
Untitled, 2002
60 x 72

Chris explores light and psychedelia generated from natural and artificial sources. He uses found and original photographs as a source for large abstraction that may also appear representational.

    London, Ontario
  • Sarah Milroy visual arts critic, the Globe and Mail
    Toronto, Ontario
  • Kim Moodie artist and instructor, University of Western Ontario
