His&nbsp;art&nbsp;is on display at the National Gallery of Canada.</p> <p>Paterson said he was humbled by the honour and in awe of his fellow award winners, which include Indigenous art curator Lee-Ann Martin and environmental artist Marlene Creates.</p> <p>“It’s slightly unbelievable because, in some ways, [I think] ‘Me? Among that company?’” said Paterson, who sees some of his art as “conceptual one-liners” that take a critical eye to language, technology, the human body, politics and capitalism.</p> <h3><a href="/news/i-don-t-gatekeepers-mixed-media-artist-andrew-james-paterson-wins-governor-general-s-award">Read the <em>�鶹��Ƶ News</em> story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Tue, 28 May 2019 15:17:34 +0000 s.anderson 159902 at
