"Now that life study is making a comeback we are beginning to see paintings and drawings originate as studio exercises and then, chrysalis-like, burst out and fly. A recent example well worth closer examination is David C. Hancock’s Still Life, which was a finalist in this year’s painting competition sponsored by Fred Ross, the noted New York art collector," says art critic John T. Spike.

David C. Hancock’s still life is a result of intense academic training in classical painting and drawing which is part of the curriculum taught at the Academy of Realist Art in Toronto. The program at ARA originates from some of the traditions taught by the old masters with a focus on drawing from life.
