About the Item

This contemporary abstract painting has a winter theme. Canadian artist Fiona Ackerman’s unique visionary style-a refined sense of colour, and her imaginative use of dynamic form embraces and explores a new narrative with every series. By using the serial format she can develop ideas on multiple canvases and tell a more complete story. Her visual language has been described as evocative, intuitive and vibrant. Ackerman’s impressive, eclectic oeuvre blurs the boundaries between abstraction and realism, often including inspired references to pop art. Organic and geometric shapes emerge through expressive brushstrokes, lyrical markings, and calligraphic gestures. With an exceptional eye for colour, she builds her compositions in luminous layers, saturating the canvas with depth, energy, and visual richness. “So many of my memories of growing up in Montreal involve ice. Winter in the city means skating in circles at Carré St-Louis, walking to school like a penguin on the frozen streets, and jumping lakes of slush at every corner during the spring thaw. In truth, my feelings toward winter at the time were tolerant at best. Not until moving to Vancouver did I realize how important and impactful the seasonal cycle is. Winter means slowing down, acting with care, exercising resilience. When the ice broke, we became extroverts, bursting onto the streets to see and be seen. During my first spring in Vancouver, I felt off - unrefreshed, like I had accidentally stayed awake all night and it was too late to rest. A wet blanket of cloud had come and gone, while the grass had remained green. The air smelled wonderful, but spring felt unearned. This too, however, had been a Canadian winter, if a more delicate one, requiring a different approach. Winter turned from jackhammer to a frame of mind. The days are short; it is a time to go within. Work. Rest. Fall in with the cycle until the grey sky breaks, like the ice, and we run into the sunlight to see and be seen.” Fiona Ackerman FRAMED 49 × 37 in 124.46 × 93.98 cm SIGNED: EN VERSO Fiona Ackerman was born in Ottawa in 1978.
