Norman Yates RCA (September  23, 1923 – February  09, 2014) was a painter in washes of colour of panoramic abstract and semi-abstract paintings that he called "landspaces". His themes were space and energy.[1] In 2023, Patricia Bovey said that his landscapes are "flowing, evocative, ephemeral and always changing, reflecting the intangibility of the light, skies, and atmospheric effects". She added that his paintings are significant works in the annals of Western Canadian Art.[2]
