About
Why this artist matters now
Jack Bush was a Canadian abstract painter who developed a distinctive approach to colour field painting in the postwar period. Working primarily in acrylic, he constructed compositions of broad, interlocking planes of vivid colour that shifted between figuration and pure abstraction. His work engaged directly with the formal innovations of American abstract expressionism while maintaining a distinctly Canadian sensibility. Bush's paintings demonstrate a rigorous attention to chromatic harmony and spatial relationships across the canvas.
