Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes

Ronald Bloore was a pivotal member of the Regina Five. By the time he was appointed director of the Norman MacKenzie Art Gallery at Regina College in 1958, he had studied in Toronto, New York, St. Louis and London, and his visual language as a practising artist was already highly developed. As David Burnett and Marilyn Schiff wrote: "The resolution apparent in Bloore's work between his approach to the activity of painting and the results achieved, was an important example to the artists around him." Indeed, when Bloore organized the exhibition Five Painters from Regina in 1961, his distinctive style and approach was evident: executed using a limited colour palette dominated by white, and featuring imagery composed of carved ridges and low-relief symbols, his paintings were conceived in his mind as finished works and then brought to life with few changes. At a time when abstract painting in Canada was dominated by gesture, expressionism and intuition, Bloore's commitment to his methodical practice is remarkable. Abstract, from 1968, is an excellent example of the balance he achieved between precision and his painterly surfaces.
