Joseph Plaskett | Reflections
September 30 - October 11, 2017
Running Concurrently at Bau-Xi Vancouver & Toronto
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 30, 2-4 pm
Bau-Xi Vancouver and Toronto are honoured to announce concurrent exhibitions of never-before exhibited paintings from the estate of Joseph Plaskett, running Sept 30 through October 11th, 2017. The exhibition will debut 14 paintings newly released from the estate to mark the occasion.
Eschewing modernist abstraction, Joseph Plaskett became known for his ability to capture the charm of every day domestic life: flowers bought from the market, fruit and gourds neatly arranged or toppling across tables, the interior of a simple kitchen cabinet, or the view outside his Suffolk home window. Each canvas expresses a warm humanity, and reveals the artist’s mastery of light, form, and colour.
Plaskett passed away on September 21, 2014 at his home in England at the age of 96, and is remembered for his contribution to the canon of Canadian art history. We look forward to sharing this special collection of works with admirers and collectors.
