La Galerie Canada présentera l’exposition “Rodney Graham : Canadian Impressionist” célébrant les œuvres d’un des artistes contemporains les plus réputés de la nation. La Galerie, soutenue par la Fondation Victor Dahdaleh, est fière de montrer les œuvres de cet artiste, qui a été nommé Officier de l'Ordre du Canada et reconnu par de nombreux prix tels que le Prix Gershon Iskowitz, le Kurt Schwitters-Preiz et le Prix Audain. L’exposition a été préparée par l’historien d'art canadien Patrik Andersson, un professeur associé du Département des Etudes Culturelles de l'Université Emily Carr Art + Design de Vancouver. Les œuvres ont été prêtées à la Galerie Canada par des collections privées et feront connaitre au grand public l’étendue de la création artistique de Graham. La Fondation présidée par Victor Dahdaleh est un grand partisan des expositions de la Galerie Canada. Soutenir le développement des arts a été bénéfique pour faire connaitre au grand public le travail d’artistes locaux et internationaux. L’organisation d’expositions dédiées à un artiste en particulier est un moyen efficace pour célébrer l’œuvre de ces créateurs de talent, et pour aider la popularisation de mouvements artistiques qu’il explorent et dont ils sont l’incarnation.

Canada House, London - The Canada Gallery is proud to present Rodney Graham:
Canadian Impressionist, an exhibition featuring the work of one of Canada’s most
celebrated contemporary artists.
Since the 1980s, Vancouver-based Rodney Graham has grown his diverse practice to
encompass photography, painting, sculpture, film, video and music. As actor, performer,
producer, historian, writer, poet, sound engineer and musician, Graham shifts seamlessly into
different roles and characters. The Globe and Mail newspaper labelled him a “genre-busting
Renaissance man” who employs a cerebral sense of humour as he injects himself into his
work.
This exhibition was organized to coincide with a
retrospective of Graham’s work at BALTIC Centre for
Contemporary Art, Gateshead, England, opening March
17th.
In 1997 Graham represented Canada at the 47th Venice
Biennale and is the recipient of the Gershon Iskowitz Prize,
Toronto, Canada (2004), the Kurt Schwitters-Preis,
Niedersächsiche Sparkassenstiftung, Germany (2006) and
the Audain Prize for lifetime achievement in visual arts,
British Columbia, Canada (2011).
In 2017, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada
for his contributions to Canadian contemporary visual arts.

2. Rodney Graham: Canadian Impressionist is curated by Canadian art historian Patrik
Andersson, who is an Associate Professor in the Department of Critical and Cultural Studies
at Emily Carr University of Art & Design in Vancouver.
We would like to thank the artist and all who graciously loaned their works from private
collections for this exhibition.
This exhibition was made possible thanks to Hauser & Wirth and the Lisson Gallery.
The Canada Gallery’s ongoing programme is generously supported by the Dahdaleh
Foundation, chaired by Victor Phillip Dahdaleh.
