Publisher's Synopsis
This book is based on a major exhibition of Stephen Hutchings's monumental landscape paintings organized by the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Alberta. The paintings and the two videos included in the exhibition examine ideas of temporality, permanence and eternity. The book is illustrated with the paintings from the Landscapes for the End of Time exhibition as well as with many other examples of Hutchings's work. The accompanying essays provide insight and context, and offer an understanding and appreciation for his art as a whole. Also included is a discussion of the innovative techniques and methods he employs in his creative process and the significant role that contemporary music plays in the development of his work. Each publication includes a DVD containing both video works from the exhibition.
