About this artwork
Alexander Young Jackson was another important Canadian painter among the "Group of Seven Artists". In this series of paintings, called, NORTHLAND, I was particularly interested to exaggerate the idea of a traditional "Landscape" by introducing the symmetry aspect. In so doing I was able to alter the concept or intent behind the works of these historical artists and add a new dimension of "seeing" to the consensual notions of a landscape. There is…
a serendipitous spontaneity to all of these paintings, where, for example the image that appears to emerge from this particular painting looks very much like a reclining female body in perspective. Interestingly, the goalie seems to be obscuring her genitalia.

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.
