Lot Report

Note:

Born in Massachusetts, Lindee Climo moved to Canada in 1970 and has been exhibiting her work across North America since 1975. Climo’s trademark canvases feature finely rendered farm animals as central figures in compositions inspired by Old Renaissance Masters such as Titian, Botticelli and da Vinci. Cleemo’s work pays homage to the farm animals with which she has been surrounded all her life. Her animal subjects are endowed with the depth and personality of their human counterparts and exude a soul of their own. Climo’s work is included in the Collections of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Acadia University, the Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Department of External Affairs and Scotiabank.
