About The Artwork
This painting is an "ekphrasis" (text to image response) to "An Orchard of Shore Trees" (poem, 1961) by Leonard Cohen. I knew him from Hydra island, Greece - where I have had a home since 1985. The silhouette is Leonard. I used a collage of maps of Canada and Greece, from Chamber's 1924 Encyclopaedia, as a surface for the drawing: symbolic of the country of his birth, and his journey to Greece. Leonard made a home on Hydra (1960) and wrote some of his best work there. Here are the lines of the poem that I interpret in this artwork... "An orchard of shore trees precise because of autumn etches its branches in the grey silk river The edge of the sky fills up with blue and soft sand" the numbers relate to important dates in Leonard Cohen's life painting is unframed
