Waddington's Auction House Biography and Notes

A Toronto painter with an inclination to large-scale abstractions, photorealistic landscapes and still life paintings, James Lahey was trained in fine arts, architecture, and artifact preservation in Canada and Italy. His work in oil paint, alkyd and conté is often based in photographs or linked to poetic or epistolary texts and lived experience. His notable Eight Days (2011) series of paintings and photographs re-imagines a motorcycle trip through the U.S., while the painting installation pieces of Your Imperfect History (2008) offer a tender vision of human bones. A regular exhibitor in important commercial and public galleries worldwide and a fixture of many significant collections, Lahey has also developed projects such as the painted alphabet, Interstate in Spring, a fundraising initiative for ABC Life Literacy Canada. He serves as a member of the board of directors of Toronto's Power Plant and is a member of the Acquisitions Committee for the Prints and Drawings Department of the Art Gallery of Ontario. In 2001 Lahey was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.
