Who is Alex Janvier, the artist behind the tile mosaic artwork at Rogers Place?

A mosaic tile art piece is now in place in the floor of Ford Hall inside Rogers Place. The piece was designed by Alberta artist Alex Janvier, but who is he? Janvier is part of what’s known as the Indian Group of Seven artists who have achieved international recognition. Despite the accolades, the 81-year-old lives a pretty humble life. Vinesh Pratap met with him at his gallery on the Cold Lake First Nation.
