Alex Colville

Alex Colville’s career spanned over seventy years and comprised hundreds of works. His working life was very much in the public eye, from his first exhibitions in the 1950s until the touring retrospectives that capped his exhibition career in the 1990s and 2000s. He never retired, but worked on new paintings well into his eighties. At his death he was the best-known artist in Canada, and his body of work includes some of the most iconic images ever created in this country.
