Regina-based artist Bruce Anderson’s solo exhibition features large-scale oil paintings of familiar prairie landscapes. In his landscapes, Anderson includes horses to explore themes of displacement and loss using styles that make the horses feel out of place or disconnected within their environment. Horses have both accompanied and accelerated human migrations across continents through colonial and commercial trade. Anderson’s work invites us to look more closely at traditional, stereotypical Western scenes and to question what we think is natural. This exhibition also highlights Anderson’s piece Continental Drift: Herd-Bound And A Long Way From Home, a new acquisition to the Regina Public Library Permanent Collection.

Bruce Anderson was born in Northern Alberta. He has lived his adult life in Saskatchewan, where he established a studio and full-time art practice after completing a Bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Saskatchewan and a Master of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Regina. Since completing his MFA, he has developed a body of work that reflects a childhood spent on agricultural research stations, an interest in the history of Western Canada, and a love of images, materials and visual discourse. He has consistently exhibited in group and solo exhibitions, both regionally and nationally; sold work to public and private collections; received professional artist grants; taught as an instructor in Visual Art at the University of Regina; worked in various capacities in installation and collections at the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina; and maintained an ongoing presence in Regina’s arts community.

How do we make visible the powerful and intangible forces that bind us together in relation? This exhibition provides insights into how five artists approach this question through works that consider the vast depth and varied configurations of kinship. Through the perspectives of a parent, child, friend, or one who shares place and land, the artists give colour, shape and form to lived experiences that deepen our understanding of family. Together, the works create an opportunity for us to consider how our relations have been created, sustained, and nurtured over time—through forces such as love and loss, as well as generous acts of care and reciprocity. As such, this exhibition demonstrates that kinships are not rigid frameworks but thrive through complex ecologies of belonging.
