a wor § PROFILE OF c | Unfortunately, Gary Lee-Nova is still quite ill, and probably won’t be able to return to instruc- tion until the Spring term. Other instructors in I.D. and Media have taken on his Multi-Media courses this fall, and an old friend of Gary’s, artist Claude Breeze, who is out here on sabbatical from York University, is taking over the Interdiscipli- nary computer courses and senior studio blocks. Breeze’s early training was taken in Sas- katchewan under painter Ernest Linder, and he later attended Regina College where he was influenced by artists Roy Kiyooka and Ronald Bloore. He returned to B.C. where he spent a year at the Vancouver School of Art in 1959. He held his first one-man show in 1965 under the sponsorship of Vancouver painter Jack Shadbolt. He received critical notoriety for his “Lovers in a Landscape” series, which dealt with the cruelty and hypocrisy of modern civilization as Breeze saw it recorded in the media. He has represented Canada in exhibitions around the world, and received the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Medal for his contributions to the Visual Arts. Currently, he is a Professor of Fine Arts at York University in Ontario. He has worked in a variety of different media, and started using computers for image making while doing a series of woodcuts. Breeze says that he personally reacted against the art/media estab- lishment by going back to a very intimate relation- ship between himself and “a piece of wood”. He felt” this was a very pure and direct art form, where once a cut is made, it’s permanent. He developed his skills with the characteristic carvers tools (mallet, chisel, and knife) to a high degree. Then one day while he was doing some word-processing on his Mac, he realized that the coarseness of the black and white computer display might be useful for designing his woodcuts, perhaps because of the similarity between the “jaggies” of the computer image and the grain of the wood. Thus a twentieth century technology being used with an ancient one. Breeze says working in this way has brought him around full-circle from low-tech to high-tech. He is currently working on a series of colour and black and white computer images depicting “faceless angels” trapped in conflict with the modern world.
