Guelph-based artist Will Gorlitz was born in 1952 in Buenos Aires. He studied at the University of Manitoba School of Art and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and is currently Professor of Studio at the University of Guelph. Gorlitz has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally since the early 1980s including solo shows at the Centre culturel canadien, Paris, France, Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, Toronto and 49th Parallel, New York City. In January 2010, nowhere if not here, a nationally touring exhibition featuring a cross-section of 20 years of Gorlitz’s painting, will be at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto. Gorlitz’s work is in the collections of the Art Gallery of Ontario, Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, McMichael Canadian Art Collection and Winnipeg Art Gallery.
