ARTIST BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Born in Kamianka-Buzka, Ukraine, painter Ihor Dmytruk moved to Canada in 1949 and lived for a time in Montreal (1967 – 1968) while devoting himself to art full-time. After relocating to Edmonton to study at the University of Alberta (U of A), he furthered his education at the Vancouver School of Art (1963). He then returned to Edmonton to teach at the Faculty of Extension at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (1964 – 1973), the Edmonton Art Gallery (1963 – 1967), the U of A’s Faculty of Fine Arts (1970 – 1972, and 1981 – 1982) and Faculty of Extension (1964 – 1983). Dmytruk received an Honourable Mention from the All-Alberta Exhibition (1966), and two Canada Council Grants. His work has appeared in numerous group and solo exhibitions, including at Edmonton’s Visions Gallery, the U of A’s Extension Centre Gallery, the Winnipeg Show, the All-Alberta Show, the Edmonton Art Gallery, and in Canadian Drawings and Prints at the Cardiff Arts Festival in England. The Principal Trust Heritage Series commissioned him to draw the Alberta Temple in Cardston, Alberta; he completed several portrait drawings for the Ukrainian-Canadian Archives and Museum of Alberta. Several public collections house Dmytruk’s paintings, including those of the Art Gallery of Alberta, the Windsor Art Gallery, and the Art Bank of the Canada Council.
