ROYAL Painting

Edward Laurin grew up in rural Ontario near Georgian Bay. Inspired by the landscape and climate of this beautiful part of the province. Moving to Toronto to study graphic design in the early eighties, he continued to pursue his interest in painting. Indeed, a dialogue exists between the artist's two principal disciplines, each informing and influencing the other. Although essentially abstract, these paintings are strongly evocative of landscape. He explores themes of wind, movement, and tension and their symbiotic relationship with an overlay of lines.
