This painting is an allegory of the spirit of Calgary, as well as an homage to ‘Skinny Fat Jack’ Davis, my friend Darcy Davis’s father. Jack Davis, 1936 - 2004, epitomized the energy of the growing, confident city. Jack worked a straight job for the city, but also ran his own speakeasy, managed a casino, worked as a carney, and got into the antique business. His son describes him as a charmer, stampeder, bootlegger, bellylaugher, collector, father, husband, valentino; a gregarious, proud son of Calgary. I trust this painting captures some of those qualities. It will be shown at the Artemis Gallery in North Vancouver, April 27 - May 27.

Click on link ‘Current Show’ (to the right) for a preview of the paintings. “New Altars for Old Gods” explores the idea of the sacred in relationship to our secularized urban environment.
Hope to see you there!

Works in progress filling up my studio. These are for my May show at the Artemis in Deep Cove, Vancouver. “New Altars for Old Gods.” The theme is the lingering presence of the sacred in our secularized world.

This one is for the upcoming solo show, “New Altars for Old Gods,” at the Artemis Gallery in Deep Cove Vancouver, May 2012. Here’s one of the oldest gods, the Horned God; this deals with the commercial debasement of the old holy festivals.
