| Description | The two large paintings by Douglas Haynes, located in the City Room at Edmonton’s City Hall evoke feelings of the pursuit of light and the search for enlightenment. The painted forms describe a movement upwards. The paintings are abstract and able to stand alone, but together they form a greater whole. The colours and tonal contrast are strong, in order for them to hold space from numerous vantage points, and amid the light and shadow cast by the glass pyramid above. Haynes also took into consideration the richness of the wall pattern flanking the staircase and planned for that to enhance the paintings and vice versa. |
