Derek Bollen's artist statement: 'Painting has been my passion and livelihood for the past 36 years or more. Working in oils on canvas is my preference; my larger body of work has been the painting of my own Dreams. I also like to go out on location and spend some weeks working on landscapes. I became fascinated in focusing on the abstractions that I saw in organic forms, out in the field, and it even became part of my own dreams and visions. In time these new abstract paintings formed into what I would later label, Visionary Cellular Abstractions. I live on Pender Island in BC. Canada.'
