Canadian painter Paul Fenniak joined the roster of artists at Forum Gallery in 1998, continuing the gallery’s commitment to exhibiting the finest of 20th century figurative art. In April 1999, Forum Gallery presented Fenniak’s first one-person exhibition in the United States. An established figurative artist and vastly talented painter, his work has been widely collected both in Canada and America.Paul Fenniak paints detailed narrative portraits and figures in settings with implied action. Deep in thought, Fenniak’s subjects are contemporary in setting but reminiscent of studied portraits that follow the tradition of the late artist Raphael Soyer, also represented by Forum Gallery. Paul Fenniak’s paintings have luminous surfaces and compelling images that offer a combination of disquiet, uncertainty, urgency, calm, and spirituality. His painting style contains a contrast of inner light with his attention to detail, texture and atmosphere.This unique vision has been recognized with grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation in 2000, the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts in 1998 and the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation in 1993 and 1994. Recent one-person exhibitions were at Forum Gallery in New York (2009, 2004 and 1999), Galerie de Bellefeuille in Montreal (2002 and 1996) and The Mendel Art Gallery, Saskatoon, Canada (2000). Paul Fenniak’s work has also been included in group exhibitions at Arkansas Art Center’s “Collector’s Show” in Little Rock (2003), Arnot Art Museums “Re-presenting Representation IV” in Elmira, New York (2000), and most recently at Indiana University’s Grunwald Gallery exhibition “Slow Hand” in Bloomington (2015).
