B.C. Binning’s work is often described as lyrical and classical. His interest in nautical West Coast themes is seen in this exceptional painting, which has a fanciful and joyous atmosphere. As Doreen Walker comments: “In [Binning’s] works, brightly coloured nautical forms are used as basis for imaginative inventions. Abstracted anchors, towers, navigation devices, weather stations and pennants become geometric motifs; and linear rigging forms a counterpoint to coloured masses…..Miroesque and Klee-like qualities have been attributed to Binning’s seascapes of the fifties, and in his use of wiry line and ‘playfulness’ and fantasy, such affinities may be found. ‘I like Klee and Miro,’ the artist acknowledged, and ‘one unconsciously makes a little repertoire of what one likes.’ ” Binning achieved international acclaim - he exhibited in the United States, Europe, Mexico and South America, and participated in the prestigious Venice Biennale in 1954. A key figure in the modernist scene in Vancouver as both artist and educator, Binning also had national influence. He served on the Visual Arts Committee of the National Arts Centre in Ottawa and on the Canada Council for the Arts’ Advisory Panel.

This work is in the artist’s original frame.
