YOUTH, TRUTH AND IMAGINATION

Joseph D. Carrier Art Gallery, Columbus Centre, 901 Lawrence Avenue West, Toronto

March 23 – April 20, 2023

Opening reception Thursday, March 23: 7:00-9:00 PM

An exhibition of unique styles and varying subject matter extending the limits of form and content with artworks that are irreverent, entertaining, humorous, challenging, and beautiful.

These talented young artists exist simultaneously in the age of “social media” and in the age-old world of materiality; painting on canvas and carving wood.

Like a weather report, they alert the audience to the future of art - issues of identity; reimagined figuration; situational episodes of conflict; the importance of camaraderie, the importance of contemplation; the history of storytelling; the necessity of foundational tradition.

In this time of technological change, political upheaval, war, and environmental degradation, the Carrier Gallery supports courage of expression and is committed to displaying art that is experimental, that challenges us, makes us smile, and gives us comfort.

This exhibition also offers the avid and new collector a timely opportunity to own artwork early in the artist’s rising career.
