"Landscape Engaged"

Alex Jack’s exhibition "Landscape Engaged" examines landscape from a multidimensional perspective. His work challenges a fixed point of view, incorporating layered and dynamic interpretations of the landscape.

Exhibition runs from Dec. 30th - Jan. 31st, 2026.

Thank you to exhibition sponsor Kelly's Propane for your generous support!

Excerpts from the Artist:
"Much of the thinking and many of the questions about landscape come from my particular
working process:

How do I know where to look in the landscape? Just because something in the landscape is
closer to me doesn't make it more important.

What do foreground, middle ground and distance have to do with the flat surface of a
painting? What does the passage of time have to do with a fixed image? What does the dynamic
movement in nature have to do with a fixed image?

Why ignore the landscape that is all around me for the sake of the smaller amount of
landscape in front of me? The landscape is indifferent to me when I am painting it. When
confronted by the largeness and indifference in nature, does a fixed point of view provide some
security? Does it provide some comfort to be able to say, "this is where I stood"?

What happens to the vanishing point when no one is there to see it?"
