Works from the Estate of David Blackwood

Cowley Abbott is honoured to collaborate once again with the Estate of David Blackwood to present an exclusive selling exhibition of the artist’s work. Offering collectors and admirers a rare opportunity to acquire significant artworks through private sale directly from the Estate, this special presentation celebrates the remarkable breadth and enduring legacy of Blackwood’s artistic practice.

A master printmaker, draughtsman and painter, Blackwood devoted his career to capturing the history, traditions and distinctive character of Newfoundland and Labrador. Spanning a lifetime of artistic exploration, the exhibition brings together an exceptional range of works, including etchings and aquatints, watercolours, drawings, copperplates and an encaustic on built wood panel. Together, these works offer insight into the artist’s technical versatility and his lifelong commitment to storytelling through art.

Thoughtfully curated to reflect Blackwood’s distinctive artistic vision, the exhibition celebrates his ability to transform maritime history, folklore and personal memory into evocative and enduring images. Presented at Cowley Abbott’s Calgary office from November 5 to 19, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience and acquire works spanning the artist’s career.

Cowley Abbott is delighted to welcome collectors and admirers of Blackwood’s work to this special exhibition honouring one of Canada’s most celebrated printmakers and storytellers.
