In a fit of madness, a bald punk hurls insults at a swarm of dancers in a mosh pit. Two wrestlers grapple in a makeshift ring. Bored and distracted passengers on a bus avoid each other's eyes as they stand in the congested aisle. These are just some of the characters that inhabit the works of Glenn Priestley, a Toronto-born artist, painter, printmaker, and teacher who has lived in Fredericton since 1996. Since his early years as an artist, Glenn Priestley has focused on discovering and representing people preoccupied with their own activities. His paintings and drawings depict figures, alone and in groups, who have been part of his life, from the suburbs of Toronto to the pastoral landscape of New Brunswick. They reflect his attempts to find the familiar in strange and unfamiliar worlds and the individuals he has encountered there. The exhibition catalogue Glenn Priestley: Variations examines how, in each of his works, Priestly explores anew the theme and conventions of figurative art in the tradition of high realism.
