Christopher Pratt, Driving to Venus: On the Burgeo Road, 2000, oil on board, 101.6 x 165.1 cm, private collection.

Whether depicting landscapes, buildings, boats, or animals, Pratt brought to his work a deep connection to Newfoundland and Labrador, a strong sense of structure and light, and an ability to express feeling through simplicity and control. From his early outdoor studies to his later, more abstract reflections on memory, these works reveal how Pratt’s art evolved—and how his surroundings shaped that evolution. Together, they offer a record of a life spent looking closely.
