Scope and content

Vertical colour drawing made of pastel. The drawing shows a hallway with a teal blue/green floor. On the right side of the drawing, there is a yellow door with some grey at the top and bottom with a black frame. The wall by the door is white but as it goes towards the top of the image, there are two burgundy stripes with grey above and below. At the left, there is a black rectangle on the wall with grey above. In the grey spot, there are grey pipes and rectangles. Beside the black rectangle, there is part of the wall that protrudes out like a column. The column is multiple colours (teal, green, grey, navy blue, white, burgundy, beige, and tan) in various spots. Beside the column, the wall imposes but then protrudes slightly out again. On the imposed side, there is a grey rectangle and a beige rectangle on the protruding wall. Above the column and rest of the wall towards the white, the wall is tan until the edge of the image with a black line near where the silver turns into the beige. The whole image is surrounded by a white border and it has a line of text at the bottom right. The image is within a copper coloured frame.

During the fall of 2016, they posted a series of 24 images inspired by the history and changing landscape of the Lakeshore Grounds.

The artist’s statement/caption of this piece: A juxtaposition of the remnants of the tunnels built by psychiatric patients and the new college.

Gary Blundell was born in London, England and immigrated to Canada in 1962. He remembers lying in a field as a child watching some balloons disappear into the vast emptiness of the sky. He remembers looking at everything on the ground. After graduating from University, he traveled throughout Europe looking at art. He then began to paint. He is inspired by Rembrandt, Turner, Soutine, Bonnard, Anselm Kiefer, Rothko, Van Gogh, Francis Bacon, Egon Schiele, David Milne, Paterson Ewen, John Brown and Susanna Heller, among other visual artists, and dozens of musicians and authors like Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, John Lennon, Jonny Greenwood, Virginia Woolf, Patrick White and many more. His work has been exhibited across Canada and in England. He was artist-in-residence at the Art House in Yorkshire England, the Straumur Arts Commune in Iceland, the Norfolk Arts Centre in Simcoe Ontario and at Pouch Cove in Newfoundland. His work can be found in collections throughout Canada, the USA and Europe and on his website.
