The
paintings, drawings, and collages I made between 1967
and
1969
were
a period of apprenticeship with Vancouver artist, Gary
Lee Nova,
who was just
back from studying in the UK when I met him and began collaborating together on multi media projects with the Al Neil Trio at the Sound Gallery. Lee Nova had made
a unique synthesis of Pop, west coast funk and a kind of Tantric geometry.
Also a strong influence was that of Jack Wise, whose calligraphic works influenced me to do a series of Mandalas.
From 1967-68, I worked alongside Lee Nova in an old bulding on Powell St., later known as the New Era Social Club. There I experimented with shapes like elongated
diamonds, or pyramids, with rainbows, and Op Art polka dots. Under the mentorship of Lee Nova I developed a neo-surrealistic brand of Pop-influenced landscape painting.
Before meeting Lee Nova,I had worked on a series of geometric paintings influenced by British and European artists of the early '60s such as Victor Vasarely, Richard
Moretensen, Victor Pasmore and Arturo Bonfanti.
