Arlene Stamp RCA (born 1938) is a Canadian conceptual artist and educator who lives and works in Calgary, Alberta.
Career
[edit]Born in London, Ontario,[1] Stamp initially studied mathematics, graduating in 1960 from the University of Western Ontario. This background influenced her study of art, first at the Alberta College of Art and Design (1974-1976) and then at the University of Calgary (1979-1980).[2] She is noted for her "mathematical-abstract paintings" and works based on "complex mathematical formulas and recursive pattern theories".[3] She has completed an artistic series on the work of Gladys Johnston, the colour red,[4] and the grid patterns of floor tiles, among other concepts.[5] Her work has been exhibited across Canada and she has worked collaboratively with other artists on installations and site-specific pieces. In 2013, Nickle Galleries in Calgary held a retrospective of Stamp's 30-year practice with an exhibition of paintings, drawings and installations.[6]
A teacher at art schools across the country, Stamp has also held studio residencies at the Emma Lake Artists' Workshops (1977) and the Banff Centre for continuing education (1979).[7] She was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 2007.[8]
