Poldaas exchanged one of the widely collected False Target series (1991) for a large oil painting by the abstractionist-turned-figurative artist Will Gorlitz (b. 1952) whose painterly approach to representational painting foregrounds visuality. This exchange signals their fraternity in paint (and likely Poldaas’ admiration of the reds and yellows), overcoming the divide, and occasional battle, between two schools in Canadian painting.
