Biography
Alan Wood (b. Widnes, Lancashire, UK 1935 - d. 2017) moved to Canada in 1971 and settled in British Columbia in 1974. His interest in the dynamics of light and colour from the ocean, beach, forest and sky has dominated his landscape work throughout his career. Since 1962, Wood participated in many group and solo exhibitions in Great Britain, Europe, Canada, the United States and Australia. In 1983 Wood gained international recognition for taking his painting directly into the landscape with his “Ranch” creation. This 320-acre painted construction built in the foothills of the Alberta Rockies was a monumental exploration of colour and form. Since then, he continued to work with constructions of wood, canvas and paint.
