A forceful amalgamation of the colours of the late day, Dusk is Warne’s answer to the coming of the night, evident in the darkness encroaching from the left side of the painting’s surface. This frame of darker tones emboldens the bright blues, oranges, and yellows that overtake the rest of the canvas, twining together in organic shapes that evoke street lamp-lit shapes in the dust. The eye is encouraged to dance across the canvas, from the pale edge to the vibrant glow of primary red and blue. Sections of visible pastel strokes guide the viewer back toward the centre of the frame, where larger colour fields give way to more intricate curves and swirls that impart upon this painting a juxtaposing sense of energy and calm.

Zachary Warne is an emerging Canadian visual artist with a BFA from OCAD University (2020). Currently, he splits his time between Toronto and northern Ontario. When up north, he enjoys painting landscapes, with a particular affinity for water. When working in the city, however, his pieces focus on extreme abstraction, with influences often revolving around current events and the human nature.
“The concept behind my work is what’s most important. It’s how I identify the good work from the bad.”
Warne’s original passion was for sculpture, predominantly clay. He explains that working with his hands felt satisfying and gave him a sense of completion. “At a time in our shared history, where so much of what we do is intangible, producing physical artworks gives me purpose.”
