Art does not reproduce what we see. It makes us see.

PAUL KLEE

Gordon Milne's portraits are as insightful as they are unique. With the broadest of strokes he is able to capture the most intimate of details.

He chooses colours and shapes which cannot help but evoke an immediate emotional response but they do so much more. They compel the viewer to take the same journey into the subject's soul that fascinated Milne and guided his hand and heart.

THAT IS THE COOLEST POSTER ANYONE HAS EVER DONE!!!! HOLY SHIT, I LOVE IT!!!

Milne focuses on portraiture, using blocks of color to define the features of a face or contours of a body, a technique which speaks to his experience as a designer. Each painting captures a momentary expression or pose while still infusing the work with a rich history of the subject. He is a serious and professional artist with enormous talent.

Being honoured in this way is very unique. It is very humbling. Seeing Gordon's work is wonderful. It is so incredible to see them all hanging on display.

Sport is very reflective of our society, and nowhere else does sport shine so bright as in the heart and soul of a young athlete.

I am proud to be part of Gordon Milne's artistic interpretation of Canadian Olympians to help raise funds and support for a new generation of sporting excellence. This project has the ability to help create something truly unique to Canadian sport.
