HARRY BELLICK REPORTING ON ROD WINNING HARRY BELLICK HERE YOUR FAVOURITE DJ AT MUSIC BOX RADIO WITH THE LATEST AND THE NEWEST FROM THE WESTCOAST OF TURTLE ISLAND. MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT THE SURPRISE ART SHOW WILL BE IN TSAWWASSEN STARTING ON JAN 28TH UNTIL FEB 4TH 2014. I HAVE REPORTED EARLY IN THE WEEK THAT ROD WINNING AND SNL149 HAVE CREATED A NUMBER OF NEW PIECES FOR THIS SHOW. I CONTACTED MR WINNING AND ASKED IF HE WOULD GET TOGETHER WITH MY WIFE AND I FOR LUNCH AND DISCUSS HIS DIRECTION AND THE PURPOSE AND TECHNIQUE HE USES TO CREATE. MR WINNING MET US LAST WEEK AT THE PRIME ROSE FOR LUNCH. ROD WHO HAS SPENT MANY YEARS TRAVELING THIS PLANET EXPRESSED THAT HIS CREATIVE DESIRES CAME AT AN EARLY AGE. AS MOST OF US KNOW, A LOT OF TIME IS SPENT WORKING AND RAISING A FAMILY WHICH WE ALL KNOW CAN PUT THE CREATIVE SIDE OF ONES LIFE ON HOLD. ONCE THE FAMILY WAS GROWN, THE JUICES STARTED TO FLOW AGAIN AND ROD JOINED THE SOUTH DELTA ARTIST GUILD AND BEGAN SHOWING HIS WORKS AT GALLERY 1710. HE EXPLAINED THAT HIS LOVE OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY CAPTURED HIM, THIS BECAME HIS START TO DRAW OUT HIS CREATIVE DESIRES. ROD EXPLAINED THAT TO CREATE THE FEELING THAT CAPTURE YOU WHEN BEING DRAWN INTO HIS WORK, IS CREATED BY USING LARGE AREAS OF INTENSE, OPAQUE PIGMENT AND INSTEAD OF REALISTIC BACKGROUNDS SUCH AS TREES OR SKY HIS USES FLAT AREAS OF INTENSE GOLD LEAF OR PAINT. SOME OF HIS PIECES REQUIRE MORE DRAWING THAN OTHERS, HE SUGGESTS SHAPES DELICATELY INTO THE DRAWINGS, SO HE WILL NOT BE TO CONFINED WHEN PAINTING. HIS SHADOWS ARE COMPLEX AND WORKED INTO HIS WORKS TO DRAW THE EYES INWARD. ROD TOLD US THAT TO GET THIS HAPPENING HE SOMETIMES HAS PAPER TOWEL IN HAND, QUICKLY BLOTTING THE PAINT WHEN IT RUNS AND TWO BRUSHES IN THE OTHER HAND, SWITCHING BACK A FORTH. ROD SAYS WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT HIS WORK HE WANTS THEM TO FEEL THE SPIRIT OF THE PLACE, BREATHE THE AIR AND FEEL THE COLD ON THEIR SKIN. HE WORKS WITH A LIMITED PALETTE AND PAINTS IN AN IMPASTO STYLE, LAYERING COLOURS THICKLY ONE ON TOP OF ANOTHER. JULIE AND I FELT WE WERE BEING OPENED UP TO THE SECRETS OF A WINNING PAINTING AS HE CONTINUED. ROD SAID ONE OF THE BIGGESTS CHALLENGES IN HIS WORK IS TO SIMPLIFY THINGS. AS AN ARTIST ONE CAN CARRY A REFLECTION FAR BEYOND WHERE IT SHOULD BE, BUT THIS IS GROWTH NOT AN ERROR SAID ROD. MR WINNING SAYS HE DRAWS FROM HIS YOUTH FOR IDEAS AND DIRECTION, NO MATTER WHAT MEDIUM HE WORKS WITH IT IS THE LOVE OF IMPULSIVELY REACTING WITH JOY AND SPONTANEITY TO ANY SUBJECT. MR WINNING IS REACHING BEYOND HIS PAST WORKS AND HAS FOUND A NEW DIRECTION THAT CONNECTS THE REAL WORLD WITH THE WORLD OF HIS IMAGINATION, DREAMS AND REFLECTIONS. WE THANKED ROD FOR A VERY PLEASANT LUNCH AND INFORMATIVE INSIGHT INTO HIS WORKS OF ART. RODS WORKS WILL BE AVAILABE TO VIEW AND TAKE HOME AT THE SURPRISE ART SHOW AT GALLEY 1710 ON JAN 28 TO FEB 4. DONOT MISS THIS NEW AN INNOVATIVE PRESENTATION OF HIS WORKS. THIS IS HARRY BELLICK HERE AT MUSIC BOX RADIO, SAYING, STAY TUNED IN, STAY TUNED ON, STAY IN LOVE SHARE A SMILE AND TAKE A WALK AROUND THE PARK.
