Palettes
& Places: An Exhibition of the Men Who Paint Hague Gallery - Regina
The Exhibit
Canadian landscape artists Cam Forrester, Greg Hargarten, Paul Trottier, Roger Trottier and Ken Van Rees, also known as the Men Who Paint, will
be hosting a showing of paintings on April 13th and 14th at the Hague Gallery in the Creative City Centre, 1843 Hamilton Street (above Loggie’s
Shoes).
‘Palettes and Places’ will feature pieces by the artists from their travels over the last year and a half. Numerous Canadian locations, including Banff National Park, Ontario’s Algonquin Park, and Yukon’s Ivvavik National Park, as well as Saskatchewan locations Prince Albert National Park,
Emma Lake, and Cypress Hills, are represented in the exhibit.
Formed in 2007, Men Who Paint have embraced plein air painting. Inspired by the work and adventurous spirit of the early Canadian painters, the group, until recently, have spent most of their painting time outdoors.
Painting the Yukon
In June of 2011 the group was chosen from artists across the country by Parks Canada to paint at Ivvavik National Park in the Yukon Territory. Accompanied by Parks Canada staff and a camp cook, the Men Who Paint were based at the Sheep Creek Warden station on the Firth River. There they spent 10 days in tents, visiting various locations on foot, or in some instances by helicopter, to document the National Park which borders Alaska and the Beaufort Sea. In early 2012 works from each artist were added to the Parks Canada Permanent Collection.
Halfway to Heaven Book
Of the over 100 works painted in Ivvavik, 60 of the most engaging have been reproduced in a new book. Halfway to Heaven documents the Men
Who Paint’s artistic journey though the remote Ivvavik National Park with reproductions of the paintings done on site and photographs of the the National Park (which sees fewer than 100 visitors a year, including Park staff). Halfway to Heaven is now available at Chapters and online.
