Spotlight

Spotlight features our curator’s selection of a group of works by one artist. In our latest Spotlight, we are pleased to feature 8 works by artist Michael Pittman. Born in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Michael Pittman received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Memorial University (2001) and a research-led Masters degree in painting from the Waterford Institute of Technology in Waterford, Ireland (2006). With a studio practice based in Newfoundland, his paintings explore hidden histories, specific places, and memory. The works are often introspective, frequently referencing the physical environment, folklore, and history of his home province.
