ROBERT AMOS,
R.C.A.
Artist and Author
Robert Amos has devoted himself
to painting Victoria since 1975. In addition to his paintings
he has been the art writer for the Victoria Times Colonist newspaper
since 1986. Recently his interest in James Joyce has resulted
in hundreds of pieces of calligraphy
and ceramics and
the interior of Victoria's James
Joyce Bistro. In 2008 he was invited to spend a month in
Japan, exhibiting his work at the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo and
as a featured artist of the Ome Art Jam. He has published five
books of his artworks, including Victoria
Sketchbook and Artists in
their Studios.
This is a painting of the interior of Canada's oldest
Chinese temple. The temple, located at Government and Victoria
Streets in Victoria, is featured in Robert
Amos's new book, Inside Chinatown, a photo survey of all
the meeting halls of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association.
A show of original acrylic on wood panel paintings
has been created to accompany the book Inside Chinatown. The
paintings are all for sale and can be viewed at Legacy
Gallery.
You are invited to visit Robert Amos Studio and Gallery,
located near the Cook Street Village, near Beacon Hill Park and
downtown Victoria.
