Bobbie Burgers is known for her luscious bouquets, blown-up botanicals and pastoral landscapes which focus on sumptuous colour and wild movement. Believing that the tragedy of beauty is its inevitability to fade, she captures that fleeting moment and makes one pause and absorb the wonder of what surrounds us. Burgers' strong, assured brush work and keen sense of colour are the essence of her work, which has become richer, denser and more complex as her ideas rapidly evolve. With almost 50 solo exhibitions, Burgers has attained international stature.

Alex Cameron is celebrated as a well-known contemporary painter with an exceptional outlook on the world. Cameron studied at the New School of Art in Toronto under Graham Coughtry as well as Gordon Rayner, Dennis Burton, and Bob Markle. He worked as a preparator at the Art Gallery of Ontario and as a studio assistant for Jack Bush. His oils, watercolours and early acrylics are in many museums, corporate and private collections. Alex's current work displays the virtuosity of an artist in his prime as he continues to create new abstract and landscape canvases.

Janna Watson is a recent graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design, who has enjoyed early success in her painting career. Janna's work includes a beautiful freeness, a carefully balanced pairing of loose painting and stain combined with perfectly placed architectural lines. Janna says she is inspired by the contours of the natural landscape and the harsh outlines of urbanity. Most of her paintings are on wood panels coated in resin, giving a deep saturation to the swirling stains of colour and sharp lines below.

Flirting with Bling is a delightful and thought-provoking exhibition that explores representations of culture, beauty and fashion through contemporary and historical artworks. It provides an opportunity for viewers to question how we create and celebrate culture through photography, painting, and installation.
Flirting with Bling offers an array of accomplished and provocative artists, some of whom are widely known here, and others who may be new to Toronto audiences. The inspiration for the show was Set of Calabashes, by contemporary Brazilian artist Marepe. This 24-piece installation of abstract calabashes made of aluminum exercises a magnetic pull on the viewer, as does Iain Baxter&'s inflatable signature Ampersand, rising and falling in the centre of the Gallery.
Other fascinating works include Ramón Serrano's Horizonte drawings, which evoke the skyline of utopia as seen from his native Cuba; paintings by automatist Françoise Sullivan and Natalie Munk; text and pixel-art video work by Sharon Switzer, photography artists such as Frank Mädler, Lori Newdick, Grit Schwerdtfeger, Roxanne Lowit, Barbara Astman, Sarah Moon, Erwin Blumenfeld, George Platt Lynes, Edmund Kesting, Horst P. Horst and Irving Penn.

The Signature Library and Gallery One present Celebrate Celebrity – Solo show: An exhibition featuring the exclusive collection of celebrity signature art from Toronto native Bryan Ulrich. For over 20 years, Bryan's passion for acquiring and preserving Pop Culture memorabilia has evolved into an overwhelming and truly one-of-a-kind collection of celebrity memorabilia. From Wayne Gretzky to Michael Jordan in his early days to the remarkable stories of encounters with stars like Robert De Niro and Paul McCartney, Bryan has achieved a unique inventory of memorabilia like no other. The exhibition will feature some of Bryan's most prestigious and valuable pieces; such as a rare Michael Jackson autographed and inscribed "Beat It" leather Jacket, a Rolling Stones autographed Fender Stratocaster guitar, a rare Easy Rider movie poster autographed by Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda & Jack Nicholson, to name a few. The exhibition will also feature a TIFF collection of Bryan's greatest TIFF conquests, from photos with the biggest names to appear at TIFF over the last 20 years to memorabilia pieces that were signed at TIFF, recalling the stories of where, how and when. This exhibition will also mark the world exclusive of Bryan's renowned largest and most diverse collection of autographed Michael Jackson memorabilia.
Bryan's collection of signature art pieces are a culmination of a chase – a journey – a story – and an experience that can never be matched. His behind-the-scenes fervor has brought him into exclusive parties, onto closed sets and alongside the biggest stars in the business. Each signature in this collection complements existing artwork and was acquired by Bryan himself. His stories cannot be replicated and the flawless pieces can never be duplicated. From the days of a young Wayne Gretzky to the world's most extensive Michael Jackson signature collection, Bryan Ulrich's experience, integrity and creativity remains untouched in the world of signature art.

Gallery One's collection of American and Canadian masters including (but not limited to), Tony Scherman, Jack Bush, Wolf Kahn, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Jules Olitski, Helen Frankenthaler, Anthony Caro, Roy Lerner, Barry Oretsky, Graham Peacock and Hans Hofmann.

Bruce Cochrane: Continuity – ceramics and Jody Joseph: Luminoso – paintings.
Continuity is an exhibition of ceramic work by artist Bruce Cochrane, R.C.A. Cochrane is interested in making engaging, functional work. Cochrane is also interested in making work that references a connection to ceramic history while making it fit within a contemporary context. The artist states, “Ancient Chinese bronze and clay vessels have inspired a more formal and ceremonial attitude in my recent work. In addition, architectural form and detail suggest ideas leading to a sense of monumentality, structure and interior space within the ceramic scale.”
Jody Joseph creates paintings that unfold and shimmer in her latest show, Luminoso. Joseph's latest body of work, created from vistas in the Umbrian landscape in Italy, shows the artist sharing the “real.” The artist writes, “...more detail doesn't make it more real...the opposite isn't necessarily true...for the landscape painter, “real” begins with a connection to the motif – the site.” With each brush stroke to delineate space and objects within the space, Joseph demonstrates a connection to her motif and the likes of Corot, Cézanne, and Morandi.

Jon Claytor: Easy Evolution.
First exhibited publicly at Galerie Sans Nom in New Brunswick, Claytor's Easy Evolution is a departure in both form and subject matter. Large three-dimensional freestanding paintings replace traditional canvases, and animals are featured instead of people. The artist equates his work to the rock graffiti he enjoyed deep in the Canadian woods as a child: "where untouched nature and modernity collided just as youth disappeared and experience took its place. There was graffiti on rocks and bears nearby." http://bit.ly/atmbAp.

Exhibitions –

Gilbert Garcin – Mister G.
The gallery is pleased to present Gilbert Garcin's first commercial exhibition in Canada.
Garcin was originally the owner of a lamp manufacturing company in Marseille, France. Following a workshop during the Rencontres Internationales in Arles, under the direction of Pascal Dolemieux, Garcin, at the age of 65, gave up his business and began his photographic career. His work has been exhibited and collected around the globe, which satisfies his goal of sharing his ideas on life and his perspective on the world with the public at large. In his photographs, Garcin poses as an ordinary 'Mr. Everybody,' dressed in an old overcoat. By placing himself, via the character he embodies, in absurd and inextricable situations, he invites us to ponder such philosophical quandaries as time, solitude and the weight of existence.
His work raises a number of universal questions about the meaning of human existence. The crudeness of his technique, combined with the intelligence of his themes, reflects an earnestness that embodies both the character and the creator. In regards to his use of humour, Garcin believes, “The kind of exercise I am doing with my photographs can easily become pompous, pedantic, or overly serious. It's important to put a layer of humour right away, to let people enter into contact with the subject. Humour for me is not an end in itself, but thank goodness it's there!”

The Trias Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of works by Charles Gibbons and the launch of the book by R. D. Humber, Charles Gibbons So Far...
Special book signing event with artist signing a limited number of books on Sat 25 Sep, 2-4pm.
The exhibition revisits Gibbons' paintings from 1988 to 2005. Gibbons is known for using a disparate array of mediums and methods to present and explore some of the most challenging questions and paradoxes about the nature of being human. The American art critic Dave Hickey has said, "Artists shouldn't be obligated to explain their work. I don't care about an artist's intentions. I care if the work looks like it might have some consequences." Charles Gibbons demonstrates that his works have consequences, and words are not needed to pull you deep into the spiritual essence of each piece.
