“A riot of colour, his new paintings are lush, vibrant abstracts that are supercharged with energy,” Kraehling said. “Though the paintings are not of a specific place or about a specific narrative, each colour creates a mood or feeling that evokes a feeling or space. Through the process of creation, Forrest began thinking more and more about music, both in the physical structure of the composition and with each careful colour. The colour sequences culminate in a colour keyboard, where the right hand responds to the left hand, combining colours and moods with high notes in value or hue intensity.
Born in Scotland, Forrest immigrated with his parents to Canada in 1977. He studied at the University of Saskatchewan, earning a master’s degree in 1991. He divides his time between Vancouver Island and Saskatchewan. His work has been shown across Western Canada and is held in a number of public collections including the Canada Council Art Bank, Dunlop Art Gallery in Regina, Edmonton Art Gallery, Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon, Moose Jaw Art Museum, the University of Lethbridge and the University of Saskatchewan.
