Duncan Regehr - Everlast - at Winchester Gallery
My work of the last 40 years has been focused primarily on creating figurative art through series devoted to specific themes. My paintings, drawings and sculpture have explored the human condition, myth, history, psychology, science and philosophy. I have not engaged another genre since the abstract Geoscapes and Henge paintings – works made in California during the early 1980s.
While I continue to develop different figurative series, the ‘Scapes’ of EVERLAST, offer a departure from those works.
The images were derived more from a state of mind than they were from specific physical locations or subject matter. Not unlike previous figurative compositions, these oil and mixed media paintings retain visceral and resolved expression of the emotions and psychological awareness that fostered their creation. Through vistas which capture moments in time, they invoke memories of joy, love, sorrow, comfort, longing...vivid recollections of beginnings, endings, stories, poetry, music, myth and history.
Opening Reception: Saturday, January 16, 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Duncan Regehr will be in attendance.

Duncan Regehr at Winchester Gallery on Humboldt St.
The tale of a life begins before it is born…
CYPHER explores the theory that for each being there exists a distinct image, an invisible matrix…the essence of that being…holding the key to its life’s calling. ~Duncan Regehr
Duncan Regehr’s CYPHER works are based on the philosophy that we each possess a design code, a blueprint of ourselves, defining character, physical presence and individual destiny. His richly resolved oil paintings reveal imaginary subjects as they manifest into final template images. Figures emerge from darkness as if arriving from quantum depths, galvanized and bathed in golden light. Jewel-like colours and abstract shapes morph into schematic patterns and human features. Solid pigments work beside delicate grid-work to contrast translucent shading and fluidity, giving a sense of both permanence and transience. These thought-provoking works executed in Regehr’s distinctive style of expressive surrealism, offer fresh credence to the theory that everything has a form from which it is derived.
Exhibit runs from April 6 to 24, 2010
