Charles Pachter (b. 1942) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists.
His iconic, uplifting and patriotic images have independently earned their place in the nation's museums and the Canadian art canon. While Pachter’s work shares some characteristics with Jim Dine and David Hockney, his voice is resoundingly charming, singular, and uniquely Canadian.
The barn, along with Queen Elizabeth and the Moose, form a triad of icons that Pachter has repeatedly visited over the course of his career. With these archetypes, the artist probes at Canadian symbols and colonial histories. His series of Barns perfectly captures his characteristic graphic style, displaying a quintessential Canadian landscape that is recognizable around the world.
In this intimate but striking example, there is a wonderful contrast between the sharp brightness of the barn, and the varied tones of blue in the water and sky. While the hues of the structure remain the same, the slightly lighter blue hints at a reflection. This composition is a favourite of Pachter's.
Charles Pachter is represented in both public and private collections across Canada and internationally. He has exhibited widely throughout Canada including the Art Gallery of Ontario, The Portrait Gallery of Canada, The Royal Ontario Museum, and the McMichael Gallery. Pachter’s works are widely sought after and are an ideal selection for starting or continuing a collection of Canadian art.Â
