Canadian artist John Anderson paints with the precision of memory, where every surface holds both reflection and trace. A tangle of stems drapes across the sill, where above, in the window, swirls of blue and ochre gather into something almost human, as if the room itself were watching.

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.
