Saskatchewan NAC Auction House Biography and Notes

Orestes (Rick) Grandmaison was born in Calgary in 1932, the eldest child of Russian immigrants Nicholas de Grandmaison, an artist best known for his First Nations portraits, and Sonia de Grandmaison, a talented sculptor. Orestes Grandmaison studied at the Banff School of Fine Arts, the Winnipeg School of Art, and the Chelsea Art School in London, England.He also received instruction and encouragement from his father. Rick Grandmaison painted en plein air wherever possible, striving to capture a fleeting moment of light. Grandmaison said of his work: "My mandate for painting in oils has been to record in this infinite medium the colour, mood and motion of the Canadian landscape. Subject is really incidental to the expression of my ideas about it." Grandmaison was featured in numerous one man shows in galleries across Western Canada. His work is included in many public and private collections around the world.
