Michael Sproule exhibition at Galerie McKenzie Marcotte
Galerie McKenzie Marcotte, 26 chemin Sully, Wakefield Qc J0X 3G0

Vernissage: Fri. September 19 at 7 pm
Michael Sproule has returned again and again to western Canada because in the western plains, foothills and mountains, he has found land formations whose complex geology intrigues and inspires him. In his dramatic and colourful paintings, there is evidence of cataclysmic upheavals, of erosion and of deposition. From his paintings of the surging glacial outwash areas of the western plains and Badlands to the tranquil ebb and flow of foothills country, Michael Sproule’s interest in the geological phenomena behind the changing landscape provides the underlying structure for his work.
