title of piece 'Clouds over Butt Lake, Algonquin'

This is a recent example of Rod Prouse's new paintings.
It combines years of field study work, printmaking technique and studio experimentation along with Prouse's interest in Design, namely
Memphis, Deconstructavist and 60's Psychedelia aesthetics to create a contemporary take on the traditional landscape genre.

this painting is being presented at the 'Earth Day Gala' June9, Drake Hotel Toronto

this new painting is called 'Relic, Penn Lk Dam, Algonquin'

relic refers to logs left scattered throughout the Park, left over from logging days.

acrylic on panel 30"X60"

It will show at the Algonquin Art Centre this Spring and Summer

sorry not attending to blog... away for a while.

New work on the go also defining influences that have driven this work.

Sort of returned to interests from throughout career...print making, graphics and an interest in design..particularly the quirkyness of the Memphis movement of the 80's, the geometry and restructuring of Futurism and Vorticism and more recently Deconstructivism.

Also I think this new work is influenced by the Psycadelic vision of the 60's.
