Chaos Theory Painting

Herb Sellin was born in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada and grew up on a farm near Spirit River. He has been painting full-time for more than 30 years. His Landscapes and Portraits grace the walls of hundreds of offices and homes throughout North America and Europe. Internationally he is best known for his life-size portrait of the former Prime Minister of Canada, the late Rt. Hon. John G. Diefenbaker.Searching for an Art Form more lasting than Advertising, Herb began painting full-time. He was greatly influenced by Tom Thompson, forerunner of the Canadian Group of Seven painters, the "French Impressionists" and "The Fauves".His work is therefore marked by his sense of brilliant Color, Design and Composition, coupled with his often dramatic use of light and shade. Herb owned and operated The Herb Sellin Gallery from 1979 to 1989, which handled his work exclusively.
