Painting on the Edge is a juried competition open to all living artists worldwide featuring original paintings, printmaking and drawing media. Abstract, expressive, impressionist or realist styles are welcome.
The name, Painting on the Edge is partly derived from the physical location of Vancouver, BC Canada on the West Coast edge of North America but also from the challenge issued to the artists to push their artistic limits and create extraordinary and unique images.
Successful entries will combine an original subject or concept, feature excellent composition and skillful use of the chosen medium. They will capture the juryâs interest and excite or move the viewer because they represent the artistâs imagination, involvement and sincerity. This year's recognized jury panel is comprised of three innovative, influential artists in the West Coast scene.
The Jurors
Margaretha Bootsma is a professor in the Fine Art Department at Kwantlen polytechnic University in Surrey, British Columbia. Her work explores the subject of the landscape and human intervention in an intuitive manner by manipulating materials such as ink, wax, acrylic paint and earth pigments. Bootsma has exhibited in private and public galleries in Canada, the United States and Europe.
Don Farrell, SFCA is a full member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colour and the Royal Society of British Artists and a senior signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Farrell feels that orchestrating compositions is the most important consideration in painting. A composition cannot succeed without knowledge, genuine effort, sincerity and respect for the viewer. He has representation in Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Damian Moppett received his MFA from Concordia University in 1995 and is an alumni of Emily Carr College of Art and Design. Moppett creates work that questions notions of "quality" and concepts of "mastery" in art by attempting to avoid traditional aesthetic and conceptual criteria by which artistic techniques and proficiency are judged. In 2006, he received the VIVA Award.
