Description
A palm tree of bright blue and green is planted in a sea of rich mauve and violet in this playful acrylic painting on paper by Canadian artist David Bolduc (1945-2010). The artist’s vibrant and joyful colors continue the traditions of modernism he embraced in the work of Jack Bush as well as Henri Matisse. This painting is signed and dated. It is unframed. Born in Toronto, David Bolduc attended the Ontario College of Art and then the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts School until 1965. In 1968, Bolduc received a Canada Council Grant that allowed him to travel in Europe and Asia for eight months. He continued to travel extensively over the next 33 years while exhibiting annually at public and commercial galleries. In his abstract paintings and drawings, rich in historical references from his travels, Bolduc uses curated organic motifs often placing them at the center of a painterly ground. Bolduc’s work is held in private, corporate and public collections including the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the National Gallery of Canada.
