Nanaimo, BC.- The Nanaimo Art Gallery is proud to present “A Shared Jounrey: The Portraits of David Goatley – A Retrospective”, on view at the gallery from September 1st through September 24th. The transformation of a London-born Englishman into a pre-eminent Canadian Portrait Painter is an absorbing visual journey. The 60 paintings in this retrospective of David Goatley’s portraits, selected from the hundreds he has painted, show us how it happened. From immediately recognizable public figures and corporate leaders, through affectionate portrayals of families, to paintings of fellow artists and a deeply personal, sometimes painful, series of self portraits these 60 works chart the development of a vision and style in what the artist describes as a shared journey.
