Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes

John Hartman's vivid, delicious paintings combine aerial views of cities and towns and other places of significance to him with calligraphic, often narrative marks that add further layers of meaning and context to the works. His tricks of perspective are intriguing; we look out onto his scenes and feel as if we are moving over his landscapes as we continue to gaze. They appear as living organisms, pulsating and vibrating with action, conveyed through Hartman's energized brushwork as well as the vivid colour that he uses. His narrative text adds an element of cartography to his scenes, although they are maps unlike any other. Keels, the subject of this painting, is a small town in Newfoundland that overlooks the vast expanse of Bonavista Bay. Hartman's 1993 show Painting the Bay, held at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, brought him to the attention of Canada, and his Big North project, which toured the country beginning in 1998, further exposed Canadians to his visually stunning work.
