In this work, Canadian artist John Anderson captures the memory of a room; where the view from the window, to the outside world is obscured to draw you inside instead. Around the sill, the plants, like characters themselves, lean forward as if to pull you closer.

This piece is dedicated dearly to the artists beloved cats, their names etched on the table below. 

John Anderson
John Anderson (b. 1940) was born in India and emigrated to Canada in 1953. After earning his MFA from the University of Triton in 1964, he went on to teach art history at Mount Allison University, where his disciplined yet poetic approach to form influenced a generation of young artists. His work emerged alongside the rise of Canadian modernism, with exhibitions at Gallery Moos in Toronto and the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo during the 1970s. Anderson’s canvases reveal a masterful balance of intuition and intellect—his colour fields not just compositions, but portals into perception itself.
