Paterson Ewen was unmistakably original, bridging figurative and abstract approaches, painting and sculpture to create a whole new medium. Discover his significance here.
The moon is a dominant and striking image in Paterson Ewen’s later work. Gibbous Moon is one of his best-known iterations and was a highlight of the 1982 Venice Biennale.
Shown in his first major solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario, this dynamic painting, references the turbulent landscapes of the Romantics Turner and Constable.
Traces through Space, marks Ewen’s return to figurative. Though the painting itself is abstract, according to Ewen, it is stylized but at its essence a landscape.
In Coastline with Precipitation Paterson Ewen references water not only in the subject of this work, but as well in the use of water-based acrylic wash on handmade paper.
In this homage to Japanese artist Hokusai, Ewen fully embraced the use of the electric router, and in the deep, rough cuts we can feel the building force of the great wave.

Old 299, one of 144 of the 246 American steam locomotives used to build the Panama Canal that was built in Peterson, was built by ALCO-Cooke (the former Cooke Locomotive and Machine Works plant). The 2-6-0 locomotive was returned to Paterson in 1979 and sits outside the Paterson Museum. The Paterson Museum was first organized in 1925 by the City of Paterson Library 's Board of Trustees, originally operating in the assembly room of the Danforth Public Library with a display of natural history items that had been donated to the library by local residents. In 1927, the collections were moved to the carriage house of former Paterson mayor and philanthropist Nathan Barnert, located on Summer Street next to the Danforth Library. In 1982, it moved to its current location, the renovated Thomas Rogers Locomotive Erecting Shop, at 2 Market Street, which was originally built in 1873. Notable exhibits include the Fenian Ram, the submarine designed by John Philip Holland for use by the Fenian Brotherhood, an archive of Holland's life and work, a large collection of early Colt firearms and the facade of a playhouse built by Lou Costello for his children are also on display. There is a display of industrial equipment from the former silk-weaving factories that used to be a prominent part of Paterson's economy, including automated looms.
