Loch Gallery is delighted to feature a collection of paintings showcasing the careers of two celebrated Canadian artists- D.P. Brown and Louis de Niverville- both masters of their genres. D.P. Brown will be exhibited in the first room of our Toronto gallery with Louis de Niverville featured in the second room.
D.P. Brown is one of Canada’s foremost painters working in the egg-tempera medium. The subject matter in his work ranges from portraiture and landscape to architecture. This exacting medium restricts Brown to a small number of works per year. Thus, each piece is a testament to his remarkably distinctive style and focus as an artist. Loch Gallery is pleased to present a collection of paintings by D.P. Brown that showcases the artist's oeuvre.
Louis de Niverville is renowned for his fantastical worlds. Through the medium of painted collage, the self-taught artist created dreamlike landscapes and scenes that draw on his childhood experiences and memories, as well as from the artist’s dreams. During his lifetime, Louis de Niverville had two major museum retrospectives at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa. The first, in 1978, featured 20 years of his paintings and travelled to 13 Canadian museums including the Art Gallery of Ontario and Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. The second retrospectives took place in 1997, and was solely composed of his collages. Loch Gallery is pleased to present a fine collection of painted collages from the later years of Louis de Niverville’s long illustrious career.
