4th Meridian Fine ArtPenticton, BC, CAMay 31, 2020

Item Overview

Description

Jim Robb arrived in Whitehorse in 1955 when it consisted of scattered buildings and unpaved streets. Whiskey Flats and Moccasin Flats were interesting to him artistically. People like Wigwam Harry, Andy Hooper and Buzz Saw Jimmy were one of a kind, and it became Jim’s purpose to preserve the memories of these characters. He specializes in recording by camera, ink or watercolour and pastels the "Colourful Five Per Cent", a phrase he coined to describe the colourful and unusual characters and historical buildings of the North. He defines his drawings as the "exaggerated truth" where shapes, angles, colours and features of his subjects are emphasized and embellished to express their inner strengths and character. Jim uses his keen eye and his familiarity and rapport with his subjects to produce sensitive paintings and photographs. Robb's passion for collecting and promoting Yukon's past and present is taking many directions. "The Colourful Five Per Cent Illustrated" is a magazine series featuring Jim Robb's drawings, photographs and stories. It also includes many fine works by other Yukon artists, past and present. Dedicated to Yukon's legacy, it is said to be "read in all the better cabins" anywhere. Besides the Five Per Cent magazines, Robb's work is featured in a series of art cards, numerous limited editions, and in the Yukon's permanent art collection. His work was recognized in 1984 with an award from the Yukon Historical and Museums Society. In 2003 he was awarded the Order of Canada.
