Dave is an exceptional and inspired artist who has worked for many years in a style of realism that captures mood and light in the landscape. Recently he has discovered a new direction that still show his painterly skills but in a unique style. One could simply describe his new work as “stunning figurative puzzles“. These paintings use fluid animal forms and human figures blending in an aquatic environment. Intricate details and complex compositions combine to create fascinating images that are sure to intrigue and arouse curiosity.  

         Dave Fisher is a hidden gem in the artistic landscape of our region. We hope you can come and be one of the first to see what we hope will be a breakthrough for this very talented artist.

For more information about Robert Hyndman, see our previous post: Robert Hyndman “Recent and Past Works” 

 2009, Untitled

 Oil on panel (10”x12”)

At the onset of the Second World War, Robert Hyndman joined the RCAF. His sketching and painting attracted the attention of The Canadian War Art Programme, and he was appointed as an official war artist. He created sixty-eight war paintings (mostly portraits), which now belong to the Canadian War museum.

  In 1947, Robert set up a studio in Ottawa. Critics were quick to acclaim his talents and his war paintings became the launching pad for a career that has included numerous exhibits and many years of teaching at The Banff School of Fine Arts and The Ottawa School of Art.

   Figure painting and drawing have always been a passion for Robert. He has always been fascinated with drawing from life. His portrait painting has taken him too many countries and has included a broad range of subjects from society matrons and government officials to businessmen and military personnel.

  Robert still lives and works in Old Chelsea, Quebec at the age of 94.

 Galerie Mauve is now preparing for its first solo show featuring the work of Robert Hyndman. This show will be a rare opportunity to acquire recent and past works from his private collection.  

This show will be of interest to collectors of fine Canadian art, and historians alike.

The show opens with a vernissage on Nov 5,  7 pm-10 pm. It will run until Nov 21.
