PROVENANCE
Private Collection, Ontario

A key member of the Regina Five, Ronald Bloore is renowned for his distinctive, restrained palette and methodically executed abstractions. Following his travels to Greece, Turkey, and Egypt in the 1960s, Bloore destroyed his earlier artworks in favour of a visual language inspired by the geometric forms and transcendental qualities of ancient architecture. His tonal compositions, often rendered in subtle variations of white, combine rhythmic texture and sculptural line to create a harmonious, meditative field. In Abstract, Bloore draws inspiration from the chasuble, a sleeveless garment commonly worn by Roman Catholic priests. Through contoured lines and precise patterns of textural impasto, Bloore deftly evokes the subtle movement and intricate design of richly woven cloth. His monastic palette further enhances this effect, imbuing the work with a sense of quiet reverence and contemplative stillness.
