Fall 2015 Opening at The Power Plant
Category: FEATURES
Stephen Appleby-Barr: Sigillum at Nicholas Metivier Gallery
by David Saric
His awareness of past artistic trends and tropes has provided a wealth of inspiration for this uncanny collection of images, which dually act as thematically succinct collection contemporary artworks, and a whimsical art history lesson.
Linda Heffernan & Kim Stanford at loop
by Simon Termine
Both Heffernan and Stanford works are giving the viewer a degree of interpretation in visualizing their own surreal world.
Tim Deverell: Collage Paintings at Yumart’s new location
by Sunny Kim

Darcia Labrosse’s beautiful corpses at Gallery 1313
by Emese Krunák-Hajagos

by David Saric
Throughout the exhibition, the artist utilizes the power of pantomime in order to create enigmatic images of eccentric and confrontational female figures.

Interview with David Liss, Artistic Director of MOCCA
by Phil Anderson
I feel pretty good about the way things have evolved – with MOCCA and the cultural landscape of the G.T.A. We have an amazing art scene here.
Nicholas Crombach: Trapped / Angell Gallery
by David Saric
Whether he is questioning the ethics of embalmed animal carcasses as decoration, or simply visualizing universal feelings of fear and despondence, Crombach’s somber artworks remain interesting aesthetic objects as well.
Gary Evans & André Ethier at Paul Petro
by Vanessa Zeoli
In this duo exhibition, the ordinary meets the fantastical. Traditional landscape, still life, and portraiture are reimagined into new subjective realities, inspiring feelings of euphoria
