Doug Kirton: Times of Uncertainty, Paintings 1983-1999
Will Gorlitz.

Gorlitz's essay "Alienation, Painting and Polemics" unlocks the secrets to the visual and intellectual power of Kirton's work. On the one hand, the subject matter is always bleak. The paintings invariably depict a troubled world comprised of empty suburban dwellings, contaminated bodies of water and fractured architectural spaces. The treatments, however, are outrageously beautiful. The source of the series, "The Toxic Pool Group" could not be more clear and less inviting. But the stunning physicality draws the viewer in and perfectly reflects the artist's concerns, placing these works among the best of Canadian landscape painting. Carr and Thomson showed us Nature before human intervention. With the same care and vision, Kirton shows the results of that intervention.
