Kenneth Lochhead: Colour Spaces is an exuberant reflection of Lochhead's life-long love affair with colour. Colour saturates the large abstract canvases of the 1960s, and dances across the landscapes of later years. Representation and abstraction were, for him, simply different aspects of the artist's vocabulary. Plastic form, with its elements of colour, light, line, and space, was the essence of coherent visual expression.
From 1950, when he was appointed Director of Regina College's art school, to his death in 2006, Lochhead participated in over 300 national and international exhibitions and received over 18 major Canadian and international art commissions.
He was honoured with the Order of Canada in 1971, an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Regina in 2001, and the Governor-General's Award in Visual and Media Arts in 2006. Through painting he found his own expression for love, joy, and the celebration of life.
