This year’s curation represents a taste of the gallery’s new approach.
We are presenting only new work that explores the intersection of memory, technology, art history, and identity from points of view informed by intergenerational knowledge, post-colonial perspectives, gender, and class experience.
David Hoffos
b. 1966 – Based in Lethbridge, Alberta
In a departure from their usual sculptural video installations and dioramas, we will present a new limited edition body of hand-cut photographic constructions.
These artworks explore the artist’s ongoing quest for new, lost, undiscovered, and unlikely analog techniques.
This is the first time this new body of work will be available for public and private acquisition.
Sarah Tompkins
b.1990 –Based in Ottawa, Ontario
Tompkins is one of our rising stars. As a recent MFA graduate from the University of Ottawa she has hit the ground running with numerous group and solo exhibitions at private and public institutions, and most recently NADA.
We are presenting a brand new series of paintings that emerge from the tensions of uncertainty and ambivalence which are made manifest in the abstracted image.
Her work has been placed in several major collections including Google Canada and the Global Affairs Visual Arts Collection.
Andrew Morrow
b.1974 –Based in Chelsea, Quebec
The work we will be presenting at Art Toronto is the Global Debut. These works represent an absolute departure of his known aesthetic. He has gone abstract. He has gone rococo and rogue.
If we only had two words to descibe Andrew Morrow’s practice over the past twenty years, it would be triumph and ecstasy. Grounded in principles of stewardship and accountability, his practice exists at the intersection of relationality and art. Motivated by connection, the fragmented and archetypal figures in his work populate shifting, uncertain landscapes as they approach but never quite attain the sublime
RAH ELEH
b. 1985 – Based in Toronto, Ontario
Rah Eleh is a video, digital and performance artist and a PhD candidate at the die Angewandte (University of Applied Arts) in Vienna, Austria.
Rah Eleh explores the concept of diaspora, the ramifications of colonial oppression, and white supremacy through a blend of ethnic-futurism and drag. Her materials are diverse, specific, and exacting.
Following the success of a 2023 Sobey Long List, a solo at the VAC, and a residency at the 2024 Juno's Rah Eleh is presenting a new series of 'barbie' size ceramic sculptures called the Karens.
Colin Muir Dorward
b. 1979 – Based in Whitehorse, Yukon.
After a five year hiatus, Canada's beloved 'painter for painters' returns with new ceramics and paintings. He is crafting things that do not quite reveal themselves as they should be. Are they paintings? Are they sculptures? Are they paintings of sculptures or sculptures of paintings? Either way, this work is informed by a deep dive into researching where Canadian painting can go in the 21st Century.
Since a 2012 RBC painting competition finalist and 2013 RBC honourable mention, Dorward completed a PhD in Visual Arts from Western University.
This new work is not to be missed. Artworks are limited.
