Jack Shadbolt’s contribution to Canadian art is immeasurable, particularly in his home province of British Columbia, where he taught and mentored both his contemporaries and a younger generation of artists. He painted prolifically until his death in 1998, exploring the brighter and the darker side of our world. This included a period of work as an official Canadian War Memorials artist, a time that profoundly affected him. His work in the vein of lyrical abstraction employs vivid colour and often contains abstracted imagery drawn from the natural world, West Coast subjects and symbolic objects such as flags and masks. His expressive use of these abstracted forms rests on a solid foundation of rhythmic and colouristic relationships, resulting in harmonious works that are often a joyous riot of colour. The vibrant, contrasting colour palette and melodious composition of Above the Bay - Equivalent for Landscape vividly and masterfully exemplifies such renowned characteristics.
