(Please email the gallery to be notified when new work by Jose Ventura arrives.)
José Ventura was born in 1955 in the village of San Pedro Nonualco, El Salvador. He went to school in the village and drove his teachers to despair by covering his note books with drawings instead of doing the work he was assigned.
He moved to
the capital, San Salvador when he was 17 in order to attend art school. Three years later, armed with a diploma in architectural drawing, he joined the National Museum of Anthropology of San Salvador to work first as a graphic designer, then as a model
maker.
All the while, he strove to develop his art and took part in many exhibitions. He won a scholarship from the Organization of American States and went to study museography in Mexico, then returned to his country where already, the
political situation was deteriorating.
In 1980, because of political violence, he was forced to flee Mexico, and he came to Canada a year later. Since then, he has been painting and developing his artistic vision. Growing up in a traditional
Latin American village has been a determining influence on his work as an artist.
He spent 1991 in Paris where he haunted museums, painted and exhibited. Since returning to Canada in 1992, he has exhibited in Vancouver, Edmonton, Victoria,
Toronto, Saskatoon and Regina.
He has also designed and executed stained glass pieces, some for churches and many for private collections. He has perfected the blending of the traditional techniques of glasswork, fusing and painting to create
pieces which bear the full flavour of his style. In 1996, with his partner, Yves Trudeau, he created the many sandblasted panels that make up a whole new entrance to St. Andrew’s Wesley church in downtown Vancouver.
