Saskatchewan NAC Auction House Biography and Notes

Thomas Lax was educated and began his career in the former Czechoslovakia. He was instructed in traditional approaches to printmaking, which changed when he continued his studies at York University in Toronto (1971 to 1976). Lax began to experiment with the processes of intaglio, pressing his own hand into ground and etching the imprint instead of using printmaking tools, gradually increasing his scale. He also frequently adds collage elements to his prints and drawings, and numbers, symbols, and text to his work. He began his teaching career at the University of Ostrava, in the Czech Republic, and has continued to teach in Canada at York University (Toronto), Fanshaw College (London, Ontario), and the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Alberta. His work has been featured in numerous one-man and group shows and his pieces are widely collected in private and public collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Glenbow Museum (Calgary) and the Museum of Fine Arts in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
