Collage brought to life on canvas by Norman Robert Catchpole

Lightfoot was the quintessential Canadian songwriter/storyteller and we just can't get enough of him. The more we researched on our first collage "Picking Up the Pieces", the more we wanted to know and realized a second collage would be in the works, hence "The Many Faces of Gord".

We chose to present this collage in black and white acrylic to offer a dramatic contrast and to also transport us back to an era when Ligthfoot was emerging as a musician.

Our collage is comprised of 7 individual gallery wrapped canvas (acrylic on canvas) of various sizes, 20"x10", 12"x12" and 10"x12", mounted on board and presented in a floating metal frame. The finished piece, including frame is 36"x36".

We hope you enjoy this piece as much as we did while developing the concept and bringing it to fruition on canvas.
