Artist: Dallas Bartel

 

Artist Statement:

Currently exploring work with abstract expressionism using acrylic, graphite and ink. Influences of 1950’s to 1970’s design. Using repressed, saturated colours against primary hues, shapes and lines over irrational space.

 

Dallas Bartel grew up in the Edmonton area and spent his high school years in Leduc, Alberta. Art has always been a personal pursuit, something he has enjoyed privately throughout his life. Since 2021, however, he has focused on creating work to share throughout the city. Motivated by family, friends and the clever artistic teachings of Janet Mason.
