“I want more from art than to just be a visual thing. If it’s just visual, then I’ve been wasting my time. There’s got to be some spiritual thing there as well”

The Toledo Series
Doug Haynes at the opening of the Art Gallery of Alberta’s showing of The Toledo Series in June 2015. The Toledo Series is a collection of 13 artworks donated to the gallery by the artist.
“Doug's paintings are in homage to an old master but are, as well, a reiteration of pictorial devices and concerns — narration, figuration, even such things as angels! — that have not, so far as I know, been dealt with in such a direct manner and to such great an extent as in The Toledo Series.”
