Michael Gibson Gallery - Contemporary Canadian Art

Current Exhibition – Roly Fenwick “Reflection”

In celebration of Roly Fenwick’s recent 93rd birthday, we have curated an exhibition focused on key paintings created over the past 35 years. From portraits to swamps, landscapes and fossils, Fenwick’s lush paintings are inspired by the landscape of the Bruce Peninsula, which Fenwick refers to as his “ancestral bloodroots”.

Recent Arrivals in our Middle Gallery

Recent arrivals to the gallery are featured in our middle gallery for the month of February. Along with Susan Day's new ceramics and Dorothy Knowles' majestic floral landscape, we have hung Will Gorlitz' 1997 "Road Near Adolphustown" and a vibrant 2025 canvas by Etienne Zack.

New Etienne Zack Paintings

Based on photographs taken in abandoned houses near Zack's home, his new paintings show the detritus of life. Combined with Zack's meticulous notes relating to each interior, the painted text is both legible and obscured, a visual response to the narrative and language of painting.

New Susan Day Sculptures

New to the gallery are recent vessels and sculpted owls by Susan Day. Interested in the material qualities of clay, Day's work draws a connection between nature and identity.

Artists and Artwork

Curated Artworks

Will Gorlitz

Will Gorlitz's celestial forms are a recurring thematic interest for the artist. Neither conventional "landscape" or direct representation, Gorlitz's moons personally engage us in a unique visual experience.

Michael Smith

Michael Smith's poetry-inspired paintings are sensory journey's through language, time and space. By immersing himself in the evocative "speech" of the poetry, Smith has reimagined the words into his luscious brushstrokes.

Jules Olitski

American Colour Field painter Jules Olitski was well known for his abstract canvases of sensuous colour, layered by spraying and staining the canvas which created subtle modulations of hue and texture.

Michael Snow

Michael Snow's "Walking Woman" photographs follow his interest in the movement between dimensions - taking a two-dimensional representation of a silhouetted Walking Woman, placing it in a three-dimensional world and then returning it into a two-dimensional photograph.
