Artist Talk with Rick McCarthy | Sahar K. Boluki
In our second artist talk we will sit with Rick and discuss his artistic journey through the years. Below is a brief introduction to Rick and his practice, just enough to leave you wanting to hear more from him. Hope to see you there!
Rick McCarthy (1941– ) is a painter, printmaker, and sculptor who was born in Montreal, Quebec, and currently lives and works in Toronto, Ontario. His work is focused on exploring the line between abstraction and realism to make expressionistic statements about the human condition.
McCarthy graduated from the Ontario College of Art, Toronto, in 1963, and he then pursued additional post-graduate studies in printmaking. McCarthy’s early works attempt to capture the spirit of humankind. His semi-abstract works featured a figure that McCarthy called “the shape” which functioned as a self-portrait and a general expression of man.
In 1979, his creative process came to focus on representations of architectural arches and the female nude. Working with more figurative subject matter, McCarthy sought to create balanced and symmetrical images through the clash of contradictory forms, such as the contrast between the profane and the sacred.
McCarthy’s work has been exhibited in over twenty-five solo exhibitions, and it is held in public and private collections at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, Museum London, London, Ontario, the Art Gallery of Guelph, and the Canada Council Art Bank, Ottawa, among many others.

Opening Reception | Emelie Robertson @ Michael Gibson Gallery
In Emelie Robertson’s new works on paper, the painted surface becomes a threshold for movement and observation, where perception entangles with intuition, recollection, and material. She is interested in navigating a delicate tension between material, memory, perception, and place.
Opening Reception | Susan Day @ Michael Gibson Gallery
Susan Day has an extensive exhibition and installation history as an artist working in ceramic, straddling the worlds of fine art and contemporary craft. In earlier works she has used the material qualities of clay (simultaneously soft and malleable and at times fragile and breakable) to expose the vulnerabilities of the body. Recently, she has used more oblique references to the body, drawing connections to nature and identity in large scale architectural installations.
Opening | John Kiley @ Sandra Ainsley Gallery
Opening for John Kiley’s solo exhibition at Sandra Ainsley Gallery.
Opening Reception | Erica Hawkes, Ethel Voronkova, & Kindrie Grove @ Hambleton Galleries
We have a special show lined up for you this fall! We’re featuring three artists for very different reasons:
— Erica Hawkes because she’s an absolute fan favourite and I know you’re going to love what she paints for us.
— Ethel Voronkova because it’s her gallery debut and I’m very excited for you to see her work in person for the first time! It’s unique and unlike anything else we show.
— Kindrie Grove because it’s somehow been a decade since we featured a sculptor so it’s about time! Plus she’s fantastic and super creative.
All this is to say that it’s going to be a great show and I hope to see you there!
— Joshua
On from: October 3rd - October 17th, 2026.

Closing | Jeffrey Halstead: TRAMPOLINE TRAMPOLEEN TRAMPOLIN @ L.L Contemporary
A trampoline absorbs force and returns it, sending the body upward only for it to fall and rebound again. In TRAMPOLINE TRAMPOLEEN TRAMPOLIN, the word undergoes a similar movement, appearing correctly, phonetically, and incompletely. Its alternate spellings resemble the variations and errors embedded in online search terms and digital metadata.

Closing | Stan Olthius: PIERCING THE VEIL @ Gagné Contemporary
From Stan – “Our quest for knowledge has a quality of tricksterism that continually moves the goal posts. We aim to identify ourselves as a fixed point in a three-dimensional realm, while possibly existing in many dimensions simultaneously. Between science and shamanism we catch glimpses of clarity that encourage us to continue the quest.”
Opening | Armin Abedi @ Gallery Merrick

Closing | Marcelo Suaznabar: The Bizarre Circle @ Sahar K. Boluki Gallery
Within these environments, I construct hybrid figures that merge animal and human forms. Through these figures and landscapes, I examine the cycle of life and death, the passage of time, the mystery of the universe, and the quiet confusion of the human condition. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel, I build upon their tradition of allegory and didacticism through my engagement with surrealism, using it as a portal into the subconscious and the architecture of dreams.
Closing | The Great Lakes: Michael Belmore, Robert Burley, Bonnie Devine, and Shelley Niro @ Stephen Bulger Gallery

Closing | Shuvinai Ashoona @ Madrona Gallery
This exhibition of ink drawings from 2004-2015 represent a pivitol moment in Ashoona's career and contemporary Inuit art. Through this decade Shuvinai Ashoona's now iconic visual language was being developed into what is now internationally celebrated in exhibitions such as the Venice Bienalle (2022). In this collection we see a shift from documenting place and people to fully articulating her unique perspective.
