Over the past 30 years, Ed Bartram,
one of Canada's foremost printmakers,
has consistently found his source of inspiration to be the rugged
northern landscape of the Precambrian Shield.
Unlike his predecessors, such
as the Group of Seven, Bartram explores contemporary techniques
and influences to focus upon the abstract and dynamic elements in
the landscape. With his innovative techniques, he effectively captures
the powerful forces which were at work during the formation of Georgian
Bay's metamorphic bedrock.
