Abstractions and Distractions. Group show
Effective March 10, 2006, Toxic Gallery will become Patrick Mikhail Gallery. To mark the launch, the Gallery will present an exhibition
featuring work by a new group of talented and inspired young artists.
The new name reflects the Gallery’s expanded mandate: to exhibit, promote, and
develop the work of emerging and mid-career artists investigating a variety of
contemporary themes and concepts, and who are working in a number of mediums
including painting, drawing, sculpture, new media, video, installation, and
photography. The Gallery will represent artists from across Canada, the United
States, and Europe, and will be working with guest artists and curators on a range
of collaborations and special projects.
Patrick Mikhail Gallery begins its Spring 2006 exhibition season with a show featuring seven of Canada’s most exciting and talented
emerging artists and artist collectives—artists who are already experiencing
critical acclaim, and are probing and expanding the boundaries of contemporary art
through their professional practices.
The New Painters: Abstractions and Distractions opens on March 10, 2006, and
showcases the work of Matthew Brown, Yang Hong, Zachary Keeting, Wil Murray, Melissa
O’Reilly, Mark Steven Ritter, and the Vancouver-based collaborative drawing group
The Lions, featuring Tasha Brotherton, Barry Doupe, Lief Hall, and James Whitman.
The work presented is both conceptually rigorous and unabashedly beautiful.
The Spring 2006 season continues with solo exhibitions of new work by Zachary
Keeting in April, Lorraine Gilbert in May, and Richard Hines in June.
