The exhibit features art of Dr. Mark Gilbert and his late
father, Scottish artist Norman Gilbert (1926-2019).
Mark’s art includes portraits of patients being treated
for dementia and their caregivers, both familial and professional.
His work raises questions associated with the
uncertainties, confusion and isolation associated with
dementia for both patient and caregiver, while simultaneously
offering glimpses into the healing aspects of
art. Mark’s art and related research have contributed
to both medical and art education.
Norman’s work featured in the exhibit includes drawings
created as he kept vigil with his wife of 65 years, Pat,
as she lay dying in hospital of an Alzheimer’s related
illness. The drawings turn what was a private experience
into something shared.
