David Blackwood (1941-2022) is one of Canada’s most beloved, collected, and celebrated artists. Though known primarily for his copper plate etchings, Blackwood also produced drawings, watercolours, oil paintings, and mixed media constructions over his six decade career. His work focused on the Wesleyville, Newfoundland of his childhood, and resulted in an irreplaceable and epic monument to a time, place, and way of life.
