Opening on Art Crawl Thursday, December 4, from 6 PM to 8 PM.
Painting and all of its pleasures is the focus of their December front gallery exhibition. Proclaimed “dead” multiple times over the past 150 years, they will celebrate the materiality of paint and its lasting impact. From sensuous to refined, gestured to detailed, experiential to organic, they will honour painting and its transformative alchemy. Specifically, they have selected paintings created early in each of the artists’ formative years.
The centrepiece of the exhibit is Harold Klunder’s 12-foot triptych “Antwerp Blue (Altarpiece)” from 1980–1982 balanced with recent arrivals by Paterson Ewen, Gathie Falk, Wanda Koop, William Perehudoff, Michael Snow, and Joyce Wieland.
