About this artwork
AJ Casson #2, is once more my version of a well known group of seven artist sitting smack in the middle of his own creation. These painters never portraitthemselves in their landscapes. For that reason, I decided to remedy that oversight in the NORTHLAND paintings.
Casson appears almost stunned to find himself in an unusual familiarity. He’s sitting uncomfortably legs crossed, in his painter ‘s chair. He would never have imagined that someone might… alter his humble10“ x 14“ landscapes into a grandiose Vista, similar, perhaps, to the 19th century paintings of an artist like Albert Bierstadt.

Thomas Ackermann, trained at York University and The New School of Art, in Toronto Canada. He was mentored by some of the best artists in the country who taught at the NS of A. Over a span of 50+ years of painting he has developed a unique method and manner of application of paint to the canvas surface that confronts the viewer with the overwhelming feeling that in the case of Ackermann‘s paintings, "the medium is the message", a brilliant proposition coined by Marshall McCluhan. Unrestricted in his choice of subject matter, his paint surfaces transcend conventional expectations that engage the viewer more directly into his curious, artistic vision. In an interview, Ackermann once remarked, that his deepest motivation to make a painting, comes from his “romance with eternity”, which might explain the fact there is always a sense of the unexpected in his immensely diverse body of work.
