Rod Charlesworth, An Exhibition of New Oil Paintings, October 3 - 15
British Columbia’s Rod Charlesworth presents his 15th solo exhibition with the West End
Gallery, opening Saturday, October 3.
While acknowledging his education and technical training in Fine Art at
the Okanagan University College in
Kelowna, Rod largely considers himself self-taught. His vibrant patches
of colour, the rugged terrain of the Western landscape, and snowy rinks
with
children at play capture a uniquely Canadian cultural identity. In this
latest collection of paintings Rod has departed from his previous colour
palette by making one small change to his under-painting, producing
dramatic effects, resulting in fresh and vibrant new landscapes. “What
initially inspired me to paint was how we all see the world differently.
I wanted to create my own visual language that could be used to portray
the
Canadian landscape in all of its rugged subtleties”.Join us for the opening reception Saturday, October 3 with artist in attendance from 1 to 4pm. Rod Charlesworth’s exhibition continues through October 15. All artwork is subject to presale.
