Caricatures of Canadian Writers

This Series of seven Caricatures features prominent Canadian Writers who were instrumental in forming the Writer's Union and famously frequented the original Hyatt bar. The collection was pulled from the Hyatt archive - the original drawings were professionally scanned, enlarged, and recoloured for the consistency of the series. The artworks have been given a multi-matte treatment to add a textural complexity to the series. A thin gold reveal is layered under a fine linen matte - the whole ensemble is mounted under bronze-tinted glass designed to further even the tone of the series and develop a subtle yet refined touch to the installation. The series is revealed in elegant gold frames, which create a high-end feel to this storied collection of caricatures.
