Biographical history
Rick Janson is an artist based in Oshawa, Ontario. Janson’s focus in the visual arts is oil on canvas paintings that shift between representational and realistic works and abstract paintings. Janson graduated with a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1987, where he studied under numerous painters. Janson became associated with the Centre for Art Tapes in 1992 with his documentary work on the Halifax North public library, which became a part of the centre’s tape collection.
Custodial history
The tape was donated to the Dalhousie University Archives in 2013 by the Centre for Art Tapes.
