Target Shooting

Alex Colville (1920–2013) forged a singular path in 20th-century art, remaining apart from formal trends while developing a meticulous technique of point-by-point application. His precisely constructed compositions depict ordinary life in charged juxtapositions of figures, animals, and objects, evoking a suspended, uneasy stillness. Trained at Mount Allison University and later a military artist, Colville’s work is held in private and corporate collections worldwide.
