The work
The story behind the artwork
Custom Whistler Ski Painting Commission – Avalanche Chair
Avalanche Chair is a custom 24 × 24 inch original oil painting created by Canadian artist Graham Watts as a private Whistler ski art commission.
The painting is rooted in the experience of skiing in the Whistler alpine, transforming a familiar chairlift and mountain memory into a one-of-a-kind original artwork.
This project is an example of Graham’s approach to Whistler art commissions, ski painting commissions and custom mountain paintings. A commission can begin with a favourite chairlift, ski run, powder day, family memory, photograph or mountain view and be developed around the collector’s preferred composition, dimensions, colour and atmosphere.
