A disciplined artist with a career spanning over half a century, Drew McRitchie produced an impressive body of work across various media. His oeuvre includes painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, photomontage, photography, music, and text art.
Founded in 2022, the Drew McRitchie Catalogue Raisonné is an ongoing project committed to preserving the artistic legacy of Vancouver-based artist Drew McRitchie (1954-2021). This project seeks comprehensive information on all of McRitchie's artworks, documenting descriptive details, exhibitions, publications, and detailed ownership histories for each piece.
Throughout his career, Drew McRitchie achieved considerable success. His work has been exhibited in major galleries, including Nancy Poole Studio (now Loch Gallery) in Toronto, Gallery Moos in Toronto and Calgary, Harrington Galleries in Vancouver, Emily Carr House in Victoria, Winchester Gallery in Victoria, and Barakat Contemporary Gallery in LA. He received numerous awards, including a Canada Council Grant for the Arts, and much of his early work is held in prominent corporate and private collections.
