      Shelley Adler, Joseph Hartman, Steve Driscoll, Garvin Lynch. There is also another artist, based in New York City who paints really thick, female, under forty - can’t remember her name. I think she has done group shows at Canada Gallery.

    As a Indigenous Canadian contemporary artist i'm shocked you didn't chose Kent Monkman or Rebecca Belmore. I have been apart of the scene for 9 years and have not heard of the majority of your list. Save for Kapwani Kiwangas peice at the Venice Canadian Pavilion. Bipoc queer disabled artists are really the waters i swim in and exhibit alongside. Big gay bear hugs and thanks for the introduction of artist who live and work outside of Canada.

    • @contemporaryartissue
      @contemporaryartissue  3 месяца назад +2

      Monkman & Belmore are indeed two great artists, who were, unfortunately, not included in the results of this survey. Painters in general were strongly outnumbered so it seems. Thank you for tuning in and wishing you all the best from Belgium!

    Thank you so much for doing a feature on my home country. Because of our small population and national modesty, I feel like we are unfairly overlooked. One of my favourite Cdn. artists is someone who died tragically (and ironically) in the '80s, Greg Curnoe. Your video is a great way to get introduced to some current voices.

    I enjoyed this, thank you! And yes, very Interesting that photography seems to be the main medium on this list of artists. I missed sound and installation artists Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller and sculptor David Altmejd. One of my very favourite exhibitions ever, anywhere, was of Janet and George’s work at the VAG (Vancouver).
    I’d love to see Ireland and Italy analyzed too. Thanks!

    • @contemporaryartissue

    What an interesting video survey. Good job Perrier you seem especially happy this time.
    Seeing the work of Moyra Dave’s evokes that depth of an artist truly manifesting work from the eternity of the soul I feel. It reminds me of seeing the New York Art world in the 90’s when living there. It has such depth that some recent groups of works fall short on. Thank you.
    The slideshow was a gift to experience 🖌️⭐️🙏Thank you again for the work and your time.

    I do find it interesting that only a few are able to continue to reside in Canada. I know Ed Burtynsky from his being the owner of Toronto Image Works, a top pro lab there. His work is magnificent and powerful. Stan Douglas has always been a favourite in the contemporary world, even back in the 90s when I lived in Vancouver. Most of the others, like myself, have had to leave Canada in order to find proper support and a market for their work. I worked in pro photo labs and camera shops for many years in Canada and so I have seen the struggles of the top photographers trying to make a name for themselves in Canada. I left in 2002. Hopefully it has improved.
    Please have a look at Christopher Knights, a contemporary abstract painter residing in Toronto. I met home when he was co-owner of Engine Gallery on Queen Street, but the gallery no longer exists. He paints full time now. He sells his work in a couple of galleries in the US and one in Canada. His works are quite large, full of the frenetic energy of life.
    Thank you for featuring Canadian artists :-)

  • @chrislethbridge1759
    @chrislethbridge1759 3 месяца назад

    It’s notable (but unsurprising) how many artists in these lists gravitate to the ‘big’ centres of art (NYC, Berlin etc), in this case 6/10. So far from giving the impression of a vibrant scene centred on the big Canadian cities (which surely exists) we have a collection of artists who happen to have been born in Canada but in reality are a part of the places they moved to. This was also very noticeable from the list you did of top African artists. As someone who has spent a career working in a ‘developing’ centre, I’d be far more interested in investigations of places and cities away from the big 3-4 global centres than in Artfacts somewhat contestable lists. What is the Vancouver or Calgary scene like? Who is working in Lagos or Nairobi? What’s going on in a Lyon or Marseilles, a Birmingham or a Manchester?

    Thank you for sharing these Canadian artists. My favorite is not on your list. Marc Seguin was born in Ottawa, lives in Quebec and works between Montreal and New York. He is a painter but also a gentleman farmer. He writes and makes films about contemporary life with a philosophy of nature.

      A very good question; I would say Romania is often overlooked, with so many great painters. Japan, Switzerland and Austria are also often overlooked but very present nations in the art world despite having a smaller population and share in the global art market. Have a great day!
