ACRYLIC ON PAPER MEASURES APPROX. 17 X 22.5" 23.5 X 29.5 " IN FRAME PLEASE NOTE SOME WARPING AND CRACKING IN THE ART DUE TO THE MEDIUM. THOMAS W. PURCELL (1949–2023) WAS A CANADIAN ARTIST AND DEDICATED EDUCATOR WHOSE CREATIVE PRACTICE EMERGED FROM A LIFELONG DEVOTION TO THE DRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE EVERYDAY. WHILE PRIMARILY AUTODIDACTIC, HIS WORK TRANSCENDED ITS ORIGINS IN SPONTANEOUS SKETCHES TO BECOME A SERIES OF EXPRESSIVE, IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITIONS. GUIDED BY AN INNATE SENSE OF FORM AND A RESTLESS CURIOSITY, PURCELL’S ART IS DEFINED BY ITS VIBRANT AUTHENTICITY AND A PLAYFUL, UNDERSTATED DEPTH THAT REWARDS PATIENT OBSERVATION.
