Urban Animals by Jason Carter

Jason Carter, "The Wolf", "The Wolf and Moon", "The Wolf and Oil", acrylic on canvas, 2012

Jason Carter, one of Alberta’s most prolific aboriginal artists, delightfully explores this constant dialogue of urban versus the natural environment through a vibrant series of paintings. Six animals, indigenous to Alberta, are shown in three different environments, showing their resilience and ability to adapt to an ever-evolving world.
