Neil Wedman was born 1954. For forty years or so he has maintained a studio practice as a painter and, in the course of time, has also produced works on paper including print editions, book-works, and photographs. Wedman has made a number of short films and musical recordings although not many of the latter. He lives and works in Vancouver and is represented here by the Equinox Gallery. Wedman is an instructor conducting studio courses in life drawing, painting, and visual arts in general at Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts and at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Wedman is currently working on a scale model funhouse/dark ride based on the Gastown Riot of 1971.
