Duane Nickerson Canadian

We are so excited to celebrate 30 years of community, 30 years of art for the love of art and 30 years of Abbozzo Gallery with our retrospective exhibition; an exhibition celebrating not just this milestone but the artists that have made this day possible.

Nickerson’s work in his current exhibition is rooted in the tradition of landscape painting, a long and varied practice that extends to the dawn of human civilization and is featured prominently in the art making tradition of Canada. The uninhabited landscape is a key facet of Canadian identity, and it is becoming a prominent symbol for the global environmental movement. Our growing awareness that the human species faces hard limits to its growth and consumption makes Nickerson’s detailed paintings of tree trunks, roots and leaves poignant reminders of the fragility of life.

Abbozzo Gallery is proud to showcase the latest works from our extensive catalogue of represented artists. Join us during these winter months in viewing new works by Brian Harvey, Vladimir...
