About this artwork
The Canadian north is glorified by the paintings of the "Group of Seven" artists. My paintings in the series are an homage to their work with a tongue in cheek addition of either the iconic K. Danby goalie or a portrait of the artist standing or sitting in his or her own painting. The goalie is emblematic of the Canadian psyche since hockey embraces our national identity. An ideal fit, in my mind, to combine two of the most important elements that…
represent the cultural essence of my country.

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.
