This poster coincided with the exhibition Gerald Ferguson: Times Roman, on view 6 July to 24 September 1995. Produced by the Art Gallery of Hamilton and the Owens Art Gallery.

An exhibition jointly organized by the Owens Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Hamilton of paintings by Halifax artist Gerald Ferguson. Associated in the 1970s with conceptual art, Ferguson remained a painter: according to Curator Andrew Hunter, there is a mixing in Ferguson’s work of what appears to be contradictory threads – painting as a detached conceptual exercise and, equally, a deeply personal mediation on the artist’s physical surroundings, which are imbued with history and memory. The works shown here represent a conflation of Ferguson’s early process-concerns with his image-based paintings. Stenciled fish, lobsters, fruit and flowers have dominated his paintings over the past decade — a reflection of his years in Nova Scotia, and an understanding of painterly traditions.
