WINCHESTER GALLERIES
Tristram Lansdowne
Born 1983, Victoria, British Columbia
Lansdowne works in a variety of media including watercolour, printmaking, sculpture and installation to explore ideas of permanence and function in relation to landscape. Since graduating from the Ontario College of Art & Design in 2007, he has exhibited across Canada and the U.S. Recent exhibitions include "Contemporary Drawing from the National Gallery of Canada" in Saskatoon; the touring exhibition "Ecotopia: Empire of Dreams" at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art; and "Provisional Futures" at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery. Lansdowne was semi-finalist in the 2011 RBC Painting Competition and, in 2013, his work was acquired by the National Gallery of Canada. He is presently attending the Rhode Island School of Design.
