Gallery Gevik is excited to announce the opening of Carl Beam: Life & Work, an exhibition of never before seen paintings from the artist’s studio, in celebration of the September 2024 publication of the Art Canada Institute’s online and hardbound book, Carl Beam: Life & Work by Anong Beam. Please join us on Saturday, September 21, 2024 at 2pm when Anong will give introductory remarks about the artist and sign copies of her monograph.

Carl Beam (1943-2005) has exerted a strong influence on generations of Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists. His work survives as a milestone in the development of a unique and powerful voice within the context of the presence of Canada on the international art scene. This exhibition consists of ten never before seen original paintings by Beam, incorporating signature imagery and techniques, as well as several works on plexi, ceramics and etchings, providing an unparalleled opportunity for collectors to own rare works that are almost now only found in museum collections. We'd like to extend special thanks to author Anong Beam for her guidance and assistance in mounting our exhibition as well as Founder & Executive Director Sara Angel, Executive Editor Tara Ng, Commissioning Editor Victoria Nolte, and the entire team at the Art Canada Institute for their outstanding work in bringing this illuminating study of the artist to fruition.
