Untitled by Martin Guderna
| This untitled acrylic painting on board was donated by the artist to a fundraising auction after the studio of artist and collector Ken Gerberick burned down on Hastings Street. I had visited the studio some months prior, and it was an amazing and large space stuffed full of artwork, art materials, and found objects. Ken had a large collection of Jack Wise brush pen drawings and gave me one after I expressed my interest in Wise. He should have given me all of them, as the rest were destroyed in the fire. I later donated it to the Burnaby Art Gallery as part of a Jack Wise collection. I noticed that Ken had a small collection of telephone company selector switches from the days of electro-mechanical telephone offices. He liked them but didn't know what they were. He also had lots of neon. I regret not taking any photographs of the studio. |
