Lot #2: Large Mid-Century Framed Watercolour Signed Peter Kolisnyk

one of Canada's major sculptors, and was an invited participant in the International Sculpture Symposium held in Toronto in 1978. He has exhibited widely in Ontario and internationally for twenty years. A major exhibition of Kolisnvk's work was circulated across Canada by the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, in 1977-78. Peter developed his distinctly pure style following his training at Western Technical School. The artist was the recipient of several awards, including Ontario Arts Council and Canada Council grants. His impressive exhibition record includes exhibitions throughout North America. The Art Gallery of Ontario circulated a solo travelling show in 1980. Peter had been actively involved with Station Gallery over many decades as a generous donor, exhibiting artist and a very popular experimental painting instructor. I am reminded here of the words of his student and friend, Joan Attersley, when she referred to Peter as “a national treasure under the guise of a very modest man.” Another of his former students, Tony Romano (an internationally-known artist scheduled to present his work at the Gallery in 2010) has cited Peter as a deep influence during his formative years. https://www.queensjournal.ca/sculptures-scattered-on-campus/ Dimensions: 36.5” x 30.5” Pickup category timeslot {A}
