George Jenkins Biography

1913 - 2003

George Jenkins (born 1923, Wilkie, Saskatchewan) was a Canadian painter whose works are deeply rooted in the landscapes of his childhood. After serving in World War II and working in the logging camps of Vancouver Island, Jenkins returned to Saskatchewan, where memories of his youth sparked a shift toward full-time painting. His art focuses on the prairie’s harsh yet beautiful scenes, capturing the dilapidated buildings, old farm equipment, and empty fields that evoke a sense of time passed. His landscapes are marked by a high realist style, often using a muted, monochromatic palette that gives the viewer the impression of looking at faded memories or old photographs, adding a contemplative and haunting quality to his work.

Jenkins’ dedication to capturing the prairie’s stark beauty helped shape a distinctive school of prairie painting. His landscapes, while realistic, convey a sense of melancholy, portraying not only the physical environment but the emotional resonance of the rural past. His work has gained significant recognition and is part of many public and private collections, including those of the Mendel Art Gallery and the Glenbow Alberta Institute. Through his paintings, Jenkins remains a key figure in the legacy of Saskatchewan’s artistic history, offering a window into the past without nostalgia, but with quiet reverence.
