Who is Glenn Payan?

Born in British Columbia, Glenn Payan has developed a unique style that combines vibrant colours, exaggerated forms, and a touch of whimsy to create surreal yet familiar landscapes. His work often features the natural beauty of Canada’s countryside and coastal regions, and his love for the outdoors—combined with his experience as a mountaineer—infuses his paintings with an energy and dynamism that resonates with viewers. His work is represented in galleries across Canada, including the West End Gallery in Edmonton, where his latest pieces are currently available for viewing and purchase.

Exploring Canola and Wind

Canola and Wind is a 24" x 30" oil painting that beautifully captures a quintessential rural moment. The bright blue sky contrasts against the vibrant green fields of canola swaying gently in the wind. The movement of the laundry on the line adds a sense of life to the scene, with red, purple, and green garments standing out against the expansive landscape. Payan’s use of bright, playful colours and stylized forms brings a cheerful and lively feel to this rural setting, making it a perfect piece for those who appreciate the beauty of everyday life.

On the Line – A Snapshot of Rural Life

On the Line is a smaller, framed 8" x 16" oil painting that continues Payan’s exploration of rural scenes. Here, we see colourful laundry drying in the breeze, set against a backdrop of golden wheat fields under a clear blue sky. The vibrant colours of the clothing—ranging from purples to reds—contrast beautifully with the lush green of the farmhouse siding and the golden hues of the wheat. This painting is a delightful, intimate snapshot of daily life in the countryside, brought to life by Payan’s signature use of vivid, playful colours.

Coastal Beauty in Arbutus and Firs

Arbutus and Firs, a 20" x 10" oil painting on a wide canvas, captures the beauty of the Pacific Northwest with its iconic red arbutus tree at the forefront. The rich red bark of the arbutus stands out against the darker green fir trees, while the serene blue water and distant forested hills create a tranquil backdrop. Payan’s attention to detail, especially in the textures of the tree’s bark and the contrast of colours, makes this painting a stunning tribute to the natural beauty of Canada’s west coast. The unframed wide canvas allows this piece to make a bold statement, perfect for nature lovers and those who appreciate coastal landscapes.
