WINCHESTER GALLERIES (OAK BAY), VICTORIA BC – Apr 11-<strong>May</strong> 1, <strong>2010</strong> Jeff Molloy is a Canadian<br />
artist whose work focuses on <strong>the</strong> cultural symbols <strong>of</strong> Anglophone Canada. As he puts it, "The Group <strong>of</strong><br />
Seven made paintings <strong>of</strong> where we live, not who we are. I want to create work that tells <strong>the</strong> story <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
people, <strong>the</strong> history, <strong>the</strong> iconic imagery and <strong>the</strong> leg-<br />
OLYMPIC<br />
SCULPTURE ends that are <strong>the</strong> fabric <strong>of</strong> this country". His imagery<br />
PARK<br />
has included hockey sweaters, country churches,<br />
moose, sheep and crows, and portraits <strong>of</strong> Prime<br />
Ministers wearing lumber jackets and buckskins.<br />
He is known for his creative use <strong>of</strong> such materials as<br />
burlap sacks and encaustic, and his fascination with<br />

erosion, surface texture, space and form.<br />
In A Canadian Portrait, Molloy’s paintings <strong>of</strong><br />
Hudson's Bay blankets hanging from clo<strong>the</strong>slines<br />
are set against loosely-painted forest backdrops<br />
(with <strong>the</strong> odd tongue-in-cheek addition <strong>of</strong> a moose ART MUSEUM<br />

meandering past). The paintings are reminiscent <strong>of</strong><br />
Gathie Falk’s early pictures <strong>of</strong> dresses and chairs<br />

cious yet vaguely unsettling. The rich surfaces <strong>of</strong><br />
mixed media, including his use <strong>of</strong> encaustic, give <strong>the</strong> artworks an earthy, home-spun appearance. The<br />
