Alex Colville

























































Alex Colville is my favourite Canadian artist. His work is painted with mathematically perfected angles and perspectives. He also creates a wonderful feeling of motion is his work. I am quite intrigued by the stories that he is telling. Each one of his pieces is expressing a story or event in his life. A lot of the people in the paintings are his own family.

The picture of the horse running towards the train is inaccurate. When a horse runs (gallops), it is impossible for it to lift all 4 feet off the ground. It’s an illusion of the mind—really its two.
