Uncle Tak Exhibition

If you’re going to be in Banff, Alberta between now and January 31, 2010 be sure to stop at The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies. There is an exhibition called Whyte Winter Wonderland featuring Mountains in Winter by Takao Tanabe. From the Whyte Museum website,

The exhibition features 14 new watercolour works by Takao Tanabe. These images capture the feel of winter in the Canadian Rockies. Tanabe spent several winters teaching at The Banff Centre in the 1970s and 80s. It was a later artists’ residency there, funded by a Fleck Fellowship, that inspired these winter artworks. As a response to this selection, we have included watercolour paintings and prints by other artists from the Whyte Museum’s collection, who have also celebrated winter in their work.
