It's a must-visit for anyone who loves contemporary art. **Additional Exhibits** * In Search of Imperfection: The Macdonald Collection of Japanese and Japanese-Inspired Ceramics * Highways of Harlan House **COST** Free Admission Meetup fee: $5 *** **SIGNING-UP** * **Simply RSVP Yes confirming if you will join for food/drinks after** * RSVPs close 1 day prior, and cancellations after will result in a No Show and impact future attendance. * You can also just show up and join us at the event meetup spot and time * A reminder will go out the day before with my cell and details when to meet, etc. ‐‐----‐----‐‐-------------‐----------- **MEETUP TIME** **Meet me at 6pm** **inside the entrance of The Gardiner Museum at 111 Queen's Park.** We will then head over to the ICAF exhibit at the Special Exhibition Hall on the 3rd Floor.

THROUGH Opening Reception

New paintings by Mark Viola explore layered identity, movement, and perception through translucent, process-driven works. Through explores translucence, movement, and the layered nature of perception. Figures emerge and recede within surfaces that reveal the process of their making, inviting viewers to look beyond the immediate image toward what lies beneath. In this way, the act of painting becomes inseparable from the subject itself. The accumulation of layers echoes the psychological and emotional weight carried by each figure, suggesting that identity is not static, but continuously constructed, obscured, and revealed over time. Rather than offering resolution, the works remain open—holding space for ambiguity, motion, and multiple readings. Through ultimately asks not only what we see, but how we see, and what might be uncovered when we choose to look beyond the surface.
