Summary
As an artist Blake, from Ontario, draws upon his visions in the textures of tree bark, in the formations of clouds, and in the natural shapes of rocks and wood carved by the elements in nature.
He says "I follow in the footsteps of ancient cultures who have developed a relationship with the land. My objective is to develop a sensitivity and an understanding for why they chose specific sites to commune with the spirits in nature. I explore these areas with my camera, so I do not disturb these historical sights. Reflecting on the photographs I stumble upon the hidden imagery in nature, in the bark of trees, the lichen growing on rocks, and swirling of the clouds. There is an incredible depth and intricacy in these images I piece together my visions, then work with oil paints on the surface of the photographs, to bring into focus what I have seen.
The minimal approach I use to reveal my visions leaves a window open for the viewers imagination to enter and interpret for themselves."About Canada are a store in Banff Alberta who carry a range of products by Blake Richardson, they are a gallery and gift store. This is a store that sells online and tends to have some really neat Canadian made products.
