Walter Bachinski - Canada

Art Brokerage: Walter Bachinski Canadian Artist: b. 1939. Walter Bachinski was born in 1939 in Ottawa. He worked closely with Frederick Hagan at the Ontario College of Art graduating in 1965 and went on to complete his Master's Degree at the University of Iowa under the direction of Mauricio Lasansky in 1967. Shortly thereafter, he began teaching drawing and printmaking at the University of Guelph, gaining tenure in 1970 and progressing through the ranks to Full Professor in 1984. At that time he began reducing his teaching, eventually leaving the University in 1994. Bachinski has travelled extensively throughout his career, at first studying the mural work of Orozco and Siquerios in Mexico and later the museums of Europe to see first hand the great works of the past. Eventually he focused on the masterpieces( particularly French) of the late 19th and early 20th century art housed in collections in France and the United States. The very early work was primarily black and white and was concentrated in the areas of printmaking and drawing. He then began working on sculpture in the round and relief in the early seventies. In 1975 Bachinski introduced the Mother and Child theme and shortly thereafter the Artist and Model. His work became more classical in style and in 1978-79 he spent a year in France where he started to work seriously in colour with pastels and began to examine the idea of Still Life. In 1996, with Janis Butler, he established Shanty Bay Press and divides his time evenly between working on book projects and pastels, prints and sculpture. Listings wanted.
