Toronto International Art Fair- Visit #2

I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to the Toronto International Art Fair last year, so I was quite pleased when I happened into some tickets to check out this year’s exhibitors. The focus was heavy on Montreal and Toronto galleries, but there were a handful of galleries from more exotic locales, such as Japan and Mexico, providing the fair with its namesake international flavour.

In addition to usual favourites, such as the work of Paul Beliveau, of  Gallerie de Bellefeuille, here are some of the pieces I enjoyed the most from the fair:

 

James Robert Durant’s eye popping beach ball

Eloise Brodeur’s moo cows

Sangbin Im’s  photo of photos

Nicolas Ruel’s archways

 Marcel Barbeau’s feathery scales

Luke Painter’s gothic ink

He Zhang greys and violets

 

Phil Shaw’s bookcases

 

David Lafrance’s carnival magic

Gerald Ferguson’s pattern

Magda Trzaski’s playful shadowbox

Darlene Cole’s lucious cotton candy leaves

John Ross Palmer’s swishes of passionate purple

James Lahey’s perfectly blush Peonie

Also worth a mention was Castor’s tent of bubblewrap. I didn’t really pay attention to any cards on the wall that may have explained the significance- rather I stomped away to my hearts content!
