Equinox Gallery is proud to announce Figures, a group exhibition celebrating the enduring fascination with the human figure. Opening June 10th and running through September 1st, 2025, this show brings together a dynamic group of contemporary and historical artists to showcase the limitless ways artists capture, question, and reimagine the human form.
From the bold oil painting to intimate sketches to experimental photography, Figures explores representations of the body across a spectrum of styles and mediums. Diverse in their approaches, these artworks demonstrate the figure’s power as both subject and symbol, inviting viewers to reflect on identity, presence, vulnerability and the shared experience of being human.

Takao TanabeEarly Works
Takao TanabeEarly Works
Takao Tanabe (b. 1926, Seal Cove, BC) has spent more than seven decades developing a visual language rooted in observation, restraint, and precision. His early studies at the Winnipeg School of Art, followed by formative training in New York, London, and Tokyo, shaped him as a painter fluent in multiple traditions—from Lyrical Abstraction to Japanese calligraphy. This exhibition presents a selection of works dating from 1955 to 1960, drawn from the artist’s personal collection and archive. Created during a pivotal period of experimentation and growth, these works illuminate the foundational years of Tanabe’s practice, offering a rare glimpse into the emergence of his visual language and evolving approach to painting.

Ben ReevesFictions
In Fictions, Ben Reeves presents an exhibition of paintings that take on small, everyday experiences as a way to explore how the painted surface can convey layered experiences and narratives. The title of the exhibition draws on American writer and critic Hilton Als’ philosophical and poetic writings to highlight how painting—like fiction—is not just a product or a category, but an imaginative act grounded in the belief that visual language is meaningful and worth engaging with. Als’ asserts that “Fiction is a product. It can be a painting, or an essay, or the book you are holding in your hands at the moment you are reading it: we produce stories because we are all stories.”

Rob NichollsBehind the Wall of Sleep
Known for his ethereal landscapes and richly textured canvases, Rob Nicholl’s most recent body of work is heavily influenced by the lush, utopian landscapes of his upbringing on Vancouver Island. As a child, frequent family trips to the Gulf Islands exposed him to the immense physicality and power of the natural world, which left a lasting impression and now serve as the foundation for his subject matter. His paintings draw from a diverse group of influences including the 16th century landscape paintings of Bruegel the Elder, the hyper-colourful large-scale paintings of Dana Schutz, and the 1990s layered theatrical stage sets of David Hockney.
