Eclectic Gallery, Victoria
Lecture Series with Robert AmosJack Wise: Cosmic Calligraphy
Jack Wise, artist, poet, teacher, and long time British Columbia resident, found great solace in the painting process. A deeply spiritual man, he believed in the importance and meaning of individual brushstrokes, imparting to his students a zen-like approach to making art one's own way. He was extremely well read in many subjects including physics, world religions, and Asian art. In 1974, Jack Wise helped found the Victoria College of Art, and at the invitation of Flemming Jorgensen, taught at the Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts. “Whenever I’m totally lost in a painting through one hundred percent attention, I don’t exist. I’m just simply not there.”
