40” x 30” Oil on Canvas 2024
Grant Waddell, a native of Calgary was classically trained at the Alberta College of Art as an award winning advertising photographer. He started to re-evaluate his creative direction and in 2013, began painting again which he had not done for 28 years .Traditional representational landscape has been his subject matter and he's shown at the Leighton Centre as well as partaking in shows at The Ranchmen's Club as well as being included in the Mini Masterpieces show at The Calgary Stampede. Primarily working in oils he has begun experimenting in acrylics. Artists such as Gus Kenderdine and The Group of Seven were and continue to affect his work but recently his hidden desire to reach deeper into the world of abstraction has put artists like Gerhard Richter, Peter Doig and Richard Diebenkorn on his radar.
