Harold Klunder
Four new works, each nine and a half feet high by six and a half feet wide. In July of 2008 Klunder was commissioned to make two large paintings for a private collection in the Bahamas. He soon warmed to both the idea and the specific scale and began instead on four works in his studio in Flesherton, Ontario. He finished in August of 2009.
Harold Klunder is one of Canada’s leading painters. He has exhibited constantly for more than three decades since his first solo show at Sable-Castelli Gallery in 1976. This is his third exhibition at Clint Roenisch. Born in The Netherlands in 1943 Harold Klunder emigrated to Canada in 1952. He grew up in Hamilton, Ontario and presently works in Montreal and Flesherton. His paintings are held in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Art Gallery of Ontario, Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador, Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, MuseumLondon and the Winnipeg Art Gallery among many others.
