Jack Bishop, “My paintings have had recurrent subject matter of driving for some time, but I think about these recent works like they’re almost autobiographical. Inspired from years of my wife and I travelling regularly back and forth between Halifax and Saint John and also from favorite music that I’ve appropriated song lyrics from. While this work has a more personal sentiment than what I’ve made in the past, the lyrics create a pop culture reference that frames the series into a conceptual narrative, giving a level of atmosphere to the work, and inclusivity to the viewer. I like to think about the paintings like tracks of music from a personal playlist you would listen to while coasting down the highway on a road trip.”
