Takao Tanabe
Early Works

June 21, 2025 - July 19, 2025

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.
Opening Reception Saturday, June 21st  2- 4pm

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.
