Rains’ practice has been to create a series of works focused on a single subject, such as the pears shown here. Warm lighting and a controlled palette result in canvases that evoke a richness and restraint reminiscent of works by the Old Masters.

Rains creates a number of works often based on a theme and focused on a single subject. Employing warm lighting and rich glazing, the resulting canvases evoke a restraint reminiscent of the works by the Old Masters. Pieces of folded paper become statuesque Greek temples; pears on a sideboard are precisely rendered and dramatic. The essences of his subjects are transported into high art.

MALCOLM RAINS, STUDIO STILL LIFE 4, oil on canvas, 14 ins x 20 ins; 35.6 cms x 50.8 cms
Est: $3,500 - $4,500
MALCOLM RAINSSTUDIO STILL LIFE 4oil on canvassigned, titled and dated 1991 on the overflap 14 ins x 20 ins; 35.6 cms x 50.8 cms Provenance:Costin & Klintworth Gallery, TorontoPrivate Collection, TorontoNote:Malcom Rains was born in Bristol, England in 1947. He studied architecture at the University of Detroit and the University of Toronto before completing his education at the Ontario College of Art focusing on sculpture. He has since turned exclusively to painting; however, his sculptural background is evident in the physical and architectural presence of the objects he paints. Rains' work has been compared to the 16th century Dutch masters in his use of dramatic and highly precise lighting, while on the other hand championed as thoroughly modern in his minimalist presentation. Quotidian objects, such as crumpled paper, or rolls of paper towel, are used as vehicles to explore perception using a highly developed play of light and shadow against stark backgrounds. Rains prefers to work in series, noted in particular for the "Pear" series (2011) that he developed over seven years. By working on concentrated studies, he is able to pair down extraneous details, rendering objects "dramatic in their subtlety." Rains' work has been exhibited in many galleries and museums across Canada including the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Winnipeg Art Gallery. His work is also found in the collection of corporations across the world including the Bank of Tokyo, Xerox Corporation and Swiss Bank.

In his serial examination of single subjects such as pears, Rains contains or eliminates unnecessary detail and treats the subject as a sculptural form. Classical lighting is his inspiration with its warmth and precision, spotlighting the subject and creating greater complexity and a modern quality.Sold to benefit Historica Canada.

MALCOLM RAINS, TENOS, 2002, signed; signed, titled and dated '02 on the reverse, 28" x 42" - 70 x 105 cm.Provenance: Private Collection, Toronto.Meyer Gallery, Santa Fe.Note: An oil painter of minimalist sensibility who works in both representation and abstraction, Malcolm Rains has a deft, delicate touch with colour and form. His hyperrealist flowers and fruits, as seen in his recent Five Pears (2011), glow against a dark ground. A similar dark ground provides contrast to the subtle shadings of his crumpled white paper in works such as Velopoula (2011) and Kolona (2008). Rains' abstract paintings, such as the Olympus (2010) and Sunyata (2007) series, are colour field explorations of tone and space, archetype and philosophy. A sculptor as well as a painter, Rains' two and three-dimensional works have been exhibited at the Art Gallery of Ontario, The Power Plant, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, and the Albuquerque Museum of Fine Arts as well as in multiple commercial galleries across Canada and in the US. His work is held in significant public and private collections, including those of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston, the Art Gallery of Algoma in Sault Ste. Marie and the Art Gallery of Hamilton.
