The Road to Rudolf Bikkers
Over two years ago, a subtle tug at my sleeve during a visit to Museum London ignited what would become a dedicated pursuit. My wife and I found ourselves circling back to one work of art again and again during the Up With Art event, bidding in the silent auction until — to our complete delight — the piece came home with us. It now hangs in our collection, but that evening was only the first step on a far longer journey into the life and work of Rudolf Bikkers.

Greg Curnoe (19 November 1936 – 14 November 1992) was a Canadian painter knownfor his role in the Canadian art movement labelled London Regionalism, which, beginning in the 1960s, made London, Ontario, an important centre for artistic production in Canada. While his oeuvre chronicled his daily experience in a variety of media, it was grounded in twentieth-century art movements, especially Dada, with its emphasis on nihilism and anarchism, Canadian politics, and popular culture. He is remembered for brightly coloured works that often incorporate text to support his strong Canadian patriotism, sometimes expressed as anti-Americanism, as well as his activism in support of Canadian artists.
