Brent McGillivray invites you to come and view paintings of “Times Gone By” a nostalgic look of architectural and advertising images of a fading era.

Born in 1954 in Wakefield , Quebec , a graduate of Architectural Technology at Algonquin College , Ottawa ; Fine Arts at the Ontario College of Art, Toronto ; and printmaking at the Alberta College of Art, Calgary . He now resides in the Haliburton Highlands in Ontario and is an artist on the Haliburton Studio Tour.

 Brent is currently a member of the Directors Guild of Canada. During his work as a set designer and art director in the film industry in Toronto from 1993 to the present, Brent has recorded through photography many vanishing historic sites and graphics. These have inspired him to create paintings and prints of disappearing urban and rural artifacts. By using a photo-realistic style with water colours, gouache and acrylics the viewer is intrigued and drawn to the image for a closer study.
