Learn more about the inspiration,
process and work of a celebrated Canadian artist, as John Hartman gives a free,
artist talk session on Wednesday March 7, 2012, 7pm - 9pm at the Artists for
Kids Gallery, 810 West 21st Street in North Vancouver. His work,
entitled “Vancouver” is the latest acquisition in the acclaimed Artists for
Kids collection. In addition, he has created an original print, and its sales
support Artists for Kids unique artist and teacher-led programs.
In
2003, Hartman began to paint aerial views of cities as living organisms. These
paintings made up the exhibition and book Cities that toured
Canada and internationally from 2007 to 2009. His Vancouver
work is part of this series.
“Bodies of water have a beautiful quality of
reflected light that contrasts with the density of urban areas. The shorelines,
buildings and roadways reveal the shapes and juxtapositions of the natural and
man made,” Hartman says.
In addition to being one of our artist patrons, John
Hartman is dedicating his time to sharing his insight. On March 6, the day
prior to his talk, a dozen teams consisting of a student and his or her teacher
will spend the afternoon with John, exploring the skills and techniques of
effective printmaking.
His stunning, original limited-edition print is now
available for sale. The sale of these prints support the next generation of
artists through the work of Artists for Kids. Other original prints are also
available for sale. Please visit www.artists4kids.com for details.
Be sure to attend this Artists Voice presentation, and
discover the spirit of contemporary Canadian art, as seen through the eyes of
John Hartman.
