In
1946, at the age of two, Rod Prouse and his family
emigrated to Canada from England. He graduated from
the Ontario College of Art in 1968 and worked for
a brief period in the commercial art world before
becoming a full-time artist. In 1972, Prouse settled
in Halifax, Nova Scotia and began to exhibit his work.
His first one-man show, in 1977 at the Canadian Fine
Arts Gallery in Toronto, met with rave reviews. Subsequent
Canadian and international exhibitions have proven
equally successful. He currently lives in Georgian
Bay, Ontario and travels widely capturing the life
& energy of each place he visits within his art.
Rod has worked in watercolours, gouache, pastel, conte,
oil and pencil, as well as with drawing tools as unlikely
as routers, skill saws and grinders. His painting
is accomplished and assured, exuding a great sense
of vitality and exuberance. Within his woodcuts and
engravings he creates intact universes embedded in
line and shape.
Rod
spends several weeks every year in Jasper, Alberta,
creating wonderful images of the townsite and Park
exclusively for The Gallery At Jasper Park Lodge.
Artists’ Statement ‘My work is figurative with a strong sense
of location, not so much to represent place, as to
celebrate unique encounters with the natural world.’
