Literature:
Stewart, Beth. “Jack Winn.” Accessed February 26, 2015. http:// www.lifestylemagazineonline.com/jack-winn/
Notes:
Having actively produced painting and sculpture for over 20 years, Jack Winn has recently begun creating larger-scale works that incorporate a mix of oil, acrylics and automotive paints to create a dramatic density to his canvases. “I call my work Structural Impressionism. It is an abstraction of reality... I want the viewer to instantly become emotionally engaged with my work [then] to be sent on a quest of discovery about my subject matter. Time, the cosmos, infinity, and particle physics are all areas of human exploration that excite me greatly.” Winn’s use of vibrant colour, gesture, and the thick application of paint are employed in The Standard Model (2014), a work that unveils the artist’s abstracted reality.
Winn is also a noted musician who has taught music at the University of Western Ontario (London) for 16 years. His creative relationship with music and painting is apparent in his intricate abstractions. Currently, Jack Winn lives and works in Stratford, Ontario, where he is the Principal Bassist for the Stratford Symphony Orchestra, while simultaneously preparing for a solo art exhibition at Gallery Stratford.
