ANDRE PETTERSON (1951 - )HACK 1980MIXED MEDIA; SIGNED AND DATED 1980 IN BLACK SHARPIEheight 28.5" - 72.4 cm.Provenance:Purchased directly from the artistNote:From another collectionANDRE PETTERSON (1951 - )"I first became interested in using photography as an integral part of my work, many years ago. I have always been drawn to gesture and immediacy in painting. Using photos as a base and paint as means to alter a photographic image, adds the element of chance to the picture. Once you apply paint to a photograph, there's no going back. In this way, the work is somewhat directed by the medium. I like the way one plays with the other"- Andre Petterson - Vancouver-based Andre Petterson has gained international recognition for his work in various mediums such as wood, fiberglass, metal, plastic; both in two and three dimensions. He has also created installations, performance, film and kinetic work involving his own music compositions, sets and choreography. He has gained international recognitionAndre Petterson was born in Rotterdam, Holland, in 1951, and moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan at the age of three. He became seriously interested in art in his late teens and was encouraged to follow this path by the Dean of Art at the University of Saskatchewan. He moved to Vancouver, BC, in 1970 and since then has had over 50 international solo shows, exhibiting across the spectrum of art media, including painting, photograph, photo-based works, and steel sculpture. He has also explored performance art, film, and kinetic work involving his won musical compositions, set design and choreography. His current photo-based work explores themes of lighting to created elements of mystery, where the integration of movement and fabric are analogous to brushstrokes. Petterson is the recipient of the National Film Board of Canada Award. His work is featured in numerous private and public collections including Canada Council Art Bank, the Claridge Collection, and the Vancouver Art Gallery.Selected Corporate, Private and Public CollectionsAdvance Group Productions, Vancouver, CanadaArmory Studios, Vancouver, Canada Burnet/Duckworth/and Palmer,Calgary ,Alberta Canada Council Art Bank Canadian Airlines Claridge Collection, Montreal, Quebec, Canada CS Resources Ltd. , Calgary Alberta Department of External Affairs, Ottawa, Ontario, CanadaDuracell Canada,Ontario,Canada Elbow River Resources , Calgary, Alberta Esso Resources Canada Grand Forks Public Art Gallery / Grand Forks / BC Grand Hotel / Lobby / Vancouver, Canada Ladner Downs, Vancouver, BC, Canada Laxton and Company, Vancouver, BC, Canada M.
