A.Y. Jackson

"A group of eight was chronologically not acceptable, for the group of seven promised the Canadian dream." - Dan Zybala

The ability to change seasons and the causualties of reflecting light are the many things that consist of the landscape artist. Over Northern skies the sun perpetrates exclusive shadows and values to an often surreal horizon. As the painter twists and turns his brush, the stroke emancipates from the palette onto the canvas revealing promise to an often lonely and sad trip through the foreground. The Group of Seven Artists gave A.Y. Jackson the enlightened scope of harnessed creative in the 60's when vibrant colour generated emotions to a wonderful crowd. As nature started to change the waves of mankind the sensitivty found within an open land was the power to persuade experience to that upper-level of mystery, not only in hidden territory but hidden ideas capsulated between the artist and his mind waiting to be painted forever. The everlasting wishes of life outside the realm of city streets gave the envuironment new meaning into the physical and spiritual boundaries limitless in artistic representation. Beyond the gems of wilderness has always been the hand of A.Y. who determines the motions of a scene dressed in perfection from light inside the sevens trail of painted majesty through the Canadian guild.
