These works by Saskatchewan artist, Terry Fenton, portray the Saskatchewan prairie landscape in an evocative way; a way in which anyone who has experienced Saskatchewan’s “living skies” can reminisce with at any given moment in time.

Although they evoke a timeless quality, Terry has documented his time travel throughout Saskatchewan with these paintings, capturing exact moments of uninterrupted views of land and sky.

The works presented here have been painted with oil paint on paper and are intimate in scale. Terry points out, “Because of their apparent lack of scenery, the open prairies haven’t been much painted by anyone. . . . I’m drawn south and west to the grasslands . . . because the color and light there is so luminous.

Because the solutions found by painters from the past don’t work well in the wide-open spaces, I look for new ones.”

The exhibition features 15 works, with a running footage of approximately 65’ (allowing for 2' between each work). The exhibit is shipped in 4 crates, the largest being 36″ x 45″ x 22″, for a total of 642 lbs.
