This afternoon’s feature involves pointillist artist Lawrie Dignan. Born and raised in West Canada, here Lawrie gives us an incite into the beautiful landscape of British Columbia through his striking artwork.
“Born in Victoria B.C., I am a self-taught artist using a pen and ink technique which has evolved from my years working as a technical draftsman in British Columbia’s civil service. I had no formal art education or training after finishing High School in 1970.
The contrast of natural and technical is very apparent in my drawings. Using drafting pens and colored inks, I attempt to show the landscape of British Columbia in stylized compositions that project that precision. The bold line work shows contrast with the soft hues of my pointillism. I achieve that affect using an individualized selection of colors rather than the palette of primary colors used in traditional pointillism.”
“My pen and ink images of tree-lined mountains, valleys, and coastlines are inspired by the rugged and awesome beauty of British Columbia, and heavily influenced by California Artist, Eyvind Earle. Art associations that I am currently involved with are C.A.R.F.C. ( Canadian Artists’ Representation /Le Front des artistes Canadiens ) and the Canadian Federation of Artists.”
