Gallery One, Toronto, David Blackwood : Ephraim Kelloway’s Door Paintings 1985-1990, 6 octobre - 1er novembre 1990, même image, catalogue #14

The bold red door in this work was a central motif in David Blackwood’s artwork for nearly 40 years. It is the door to the shed of Ephraim Kelloway, the artist’s childhood neighbour. Amongst Wesleyville’s brightly painted homes, “Uncle Eph’s” home was grey, unpainted clapboard, save for the door of his shed. Over the years, Kelloway painted and repainted it, nailing horseshoes, model ships and tin lettering to it. The door fascinated Blackwood as a child, and in his art he has depicted it numerous times in paint and print. In this particular example, the shadow passing across the door, which may be Kelloway’s own, could be Blackwood’s statement that human lives are brief and ephemeral moments when measured against the lasting expressions they create.
