Featured in the solo exhibition "The Pocket Horizon," this piece is a miniature homage to the giants of Canadian art history. Titled "Baie St. Paul en Hiver 2025," the work is an oil-on-canvas study housed within a mint tin, serving as a tribute to A.Y. Jackson and the Group of Seven’s legacy of documenting the Canadian landscape.
The artist distills the rugged, snowy terrain of Quebec into a palm-sized composition, capturing the rhythmic shadows and distinct "cold light" of a northern winter. It is more than a landscape; it is a celebration of a shared cultural heritage—finding profound beauty in the harshness of the seasons.
As with all works in the Pocket Horizon series, the painting is accompanied by the original mixing palette in the bottom of the tin, preserving the specific color notes used to create this winter scene.
Why it’s special:
-
Exhibition Piece: An official selection from The Pocket Horizon show.
-
Historical Tribute: Explicitly references the style and location favored by the Group of Seven.
-
Unique Format: Features canvas mounted inside the tin, bridging traditional painting surfaces with the "Mini Plein Air" format.
