The Searchers is a startling new installation in the David Braley and Nancy Gordon Sculpture Atrium. Perched upon a high ledge, these five contemporary sculptures modeled after everyday youths look down upon visitors, activating the relationship between object and viewer. Referencing street culture, film, architecture and the occupation of public space, the figures have an enigmatic presence. The works...   [more]

Portrait photographs were widespread in 19th-century France, with painters often serving as photographers themselves or as subjects in pictures that not only recorded their work, their appearance and their workplaces, but that also assisted them in achieving a heightened social and professional standing. Currently on view at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, The Painter Pictured: French Nineteenth-Centur...   [more]

ARTIST STATEMENT "Sometimes the circle represents people in my life, sometimes it is about myself, always it is about wanting to manifest something beyond what I see and experience in my day to day life... To show that we are flawed, broken and beautifully unfinished. Some people say a perfect circle is the shape of Heaven; I love that." - Meredith Bingham, 2013   [more]

Opening: May 10th   7:00 PM - 11:00 PM

Toronto | Krakow based Mark Filipiuk interconnects imagery with digital, brush and collage techniques. The result is haunting and sparse images imbued with a psychological charge and reflecting the ambivalence between the virtual and the real.   [more]

Opening: May 16th   10:00 AM - 8:00 PM

Master watercolorist Hoyano presents his contemporary version of this historic medium by revealing the underworld of shadows, stains, marks and abstract traces from the quotidian. The feeling of time and process are evident in the work as light and dark seem to float, while scale and illusion shape shift in a Rorschach inkblot guessing game.   [more]

Opening: May 16th   10:00 AM - 8:00 PM

Maria Albulet’s work radiates a sense of control, maintaining a constant and consistent abstract image-field. This characterizes her as a contemporary generation of abstract expressionists quietly informed by Joan Mitchell, Philip Guston and Lila Lewis Irving.  Bold colour blocks of red and black conceptually form as opposed forces accentuating the stillness of a wooded thicket, suggesting that...   [more]

Through his skill and proficiency as a draughtsman Spencer transformed his eccentric and visionary imaginings into reality. The AGO has a collection of almost 200 works on paper by Stanley Spencer and is...   [more]

Richard Hamilton (1922–2011) was a leading proponent of Pop art in Britain. In the 1950s, he became fascinated with the impact of mass media and popular culture on contemporary life. Newspapers, magazines and advertisements became the source of his ironic images, and were the inspiration for his art-making techniques. Hamilton was a committed printmaker who embraced new technologies, often combining cu...   [more]
