    Biographical history

    Kenneth Lochhead studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and in 1950 became Director of the University of Saskatchewan School of Art in Regina. In 1955, Lochhead initiated the Emma Lake Professional Artists' Workshops, which attracted artists such as Barnett Newman, Kenneth Noland, Jack Shadbolt and the critic Clement Greenberg. The summer workshops brought about a renaissance in Saskatchewan art and helped propel it onto the international scene. Lochhead also became known as one of the ‘Regina Five’ painters that first exhibited together at the National Gallery in 1961 and who were considered to be at the forefront of modernist art in Canada.

    After Regina, Lochhead continued to teach painting and drawing at the University of Manitoba, York University and the University of Ottawa. He retired in 1990 to devote his time to working at his studio in the Gatineau hills. A ‘painter’s painter’, Lochhead’s work is known for its’ compositional finesse and often exuberant use of colour. A retrospective of Lochhead’s work, entitled ‘Garden of Light 1948 to 2002’, was shown last year at the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina.

    Lochhead was an Officer of the Order of Canada, a recipient of an Honorary Doctors of Laws, University of Regina, and a 2006 recipient of the Governor-General's Award in Visual and Media Arts. He died in 2006 at the age of 80 after a long illness.
