About this artwork
This version of JEH MacDonald, in my Northland series, permeates a sense of a deep spiritual experience. The symmetry seems to have opened a portal to the astral realm with the goalie guarding the entrance.
I am not usually inclined to venture into this type of ethereal analysis in my work, however, as I have progressed in my paintings over 50 years, I appear to be finding new frontiers in the way I’m able to connect to my higher self.
It is quite… possible that this series of paintings, both physically and emotionally, have firmly established that the world is more than what we see with our eyes.
Without doubt this work is clearly an important stage in my development.

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.
