The paintings of Harris Gulko cut across artistic barriers, displaying many themes: landscapes, seascapes, cloud formations, abstracts, childhood games, beaches, bodies of water, scenic views and more. Born in Toronto in 1927, he moved to Montreal in 1963 and currently lives in Vancouver. He has been asked to do fund raising work to benefit various charitable organizations. He says that painting has changed his life. Often, despite the plan he had when he has started a canvas, it seems the brush takes over, and has a will of its own. He often quotes the artist Gregg Kreutz who wrote: 'I do not have to think I am a great painter, but I need to seek a great painting. Any moment the canvas could come alive and become a beautiful picture'.
