Floating World
|
|
Gareth Bate’s personal philosophy explores man’s relationship with nature and his own existence in the world. The exhibit uses landscape painting to explore the frailty of humanity before the awesome destructive power of nature. Many of the canvases were Bates’ response to the devastation of the Japanese Tsunami. This disaster, says Bates, was “indiscriminate and inescapable”. The title Floating World is an hommage to Japan as well as a representation of the fragility of Earth itself. Gareth Bate lives and works in Toronto. He obtained his BFA with distinction from the Ontario College of Art and Design. He works in painting, photography, installation, performance, video & set design.
