Derek Michael Besant, Enigma 183/300 and Homage, 182/300, 1989. Lithograph on paper, embossed bird mark. These two lithographs were struck to commemorate two sculptures installed at Calgary's Mount Royal College in 1989, "Enigma" and "Homage". A Professor of Visual Arts at The Alberta College of Art + Design from 1977-2017, Besant has created prints, watercolours and large-scale art, shown in exhibitions and as public art projects in Canada and Hungary, Russia, China, and London UK and in Scotland as a feature for the 2015 Edinburgh International Art Festival. He has several public art works in Calgary including Skywalk (pedestrian bridge mural) over McLeod Trail at Anderson Station, two pieces on the campus of Mount Royal University and along downtown's 7th Avenue LRT corridor. Since the mid-1990s, he has worked with the new technology available in photographic imaging to create experimental prints and print installations.
