For Dave and Jenn, all landscape is inherently subjective and rife with allegory. The Canadian landscape, as imagined by these two, becomes a playground in which their identities as individuals and artists are first distorted and then recreated as a new composite, a singular protagonist, a Canadian "Dick and Jane".

Formed as a team in 2004, Dave and Jenn's practice is based entirely on shared-authorship. Already, this young up-and-coming duo has received recognition on a national scale as the western semi-finalists of the RBC Canadian Painting Competition, and recently completed a thematic residency at The Banff Centre, Banff, Alberta.

David Foy and Jennifer Saleik graduated from the Alberta College of Art and Design in 2006 with their BFA with Distinction. Dave and Jenn live and work in Calgary, Alberta.
