Ross Penhall was born in 1959 in West Vancouver, B.C. Following
graduation he attended the studio art program at Capilano College and
studied printmaking with internationally renowned print maker and AFK
patron Wayne Eastcott. The strongest influence on his life and art has
been living in the high contrast hillsides of Vancouver’s North Shore
with its manicured boulevards and hedges combined with wild lush
rainforest hideaways. He is widely recognized for his carefully composed
and vibrant imagery depicting our intersection with the land. His
stylized forms resonate with inviting spaces regardless of location and
are responsible for his quick rise to fame in recent years. Ross Penhall
is a disciplined and prolific artist who has exhibited annually since
1995. His work can be found in numerous private, corporate and public
collections in the United States and in Canada.

The etching Reflected Corner was
inspired by the manicured neighbourhoods of Vancouver’s west side and by
the artist’s unending search for the perfect composition, which is
often aided through the use of mirrors. The black paper background
strengthens contrasts. The pattern of repeated shapes, dappled light and
bold colours are reinforced by the reflection, creating a dynamic
dyptych that is unmistakably Penhall at his formal best.
