Event Description
John Janzen’s recent oil paintings show waves as an emotional response to man’s treatment of the ocean, and boats as fragile primitive liaisons between the two. Janzen got serious about art studies in 2001, first at University of Alberta, and later in Italy where he studied and painted daily. In Victoria, Janzen has been inspired by the power and movement of the ocean, how boats are weathered by it and how everything is eventually destroyed by its incredible power.
