Kim Dorland
Some Paintings

October 18, 2025 - November 22, 2025

Kim Dorland’s upcoming exhibition, Some Paintings, presents a focused series of small-scale paintings that are rich in symbolism and visual intensity. The natural world is a prevailing presence, rendered with a vividness that captures both its beauty and its unsettling mystery. Portraits of his wife, Lori, offer glimpses of personal connection, while snapshots of the Canadian landscape anchor the work in a distinct cultural and geographic context.
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 18th 2 - 4pm

Jack Kenna
Vessels for something else

October 18, 2025 - November 22, 2025

In Vessels for something else, milk crates serve as an underlying scaffold— sometimes the centrepiece, sometimes a silent support—organizing each painting and receding into the background while shaping the composition. As Jack Kenna describes, “they fulfill their intended use as vessels for something else, be it an arrangement of objects, a vulnerable message, or as a compositional framework for the painting itself.” Kenna’s work invites viewers to reconsider simple utilitarian objects as sites of vulnerability and creative possibility.
Opening Reception:  Saturday, October 18th 2 - 4pm

Sonny Assu
Comic Sans
at the Fairmont Pacific Rim

October 2, 2025 - January 6, 2026

Equinox Gallery is pleased to present Comic Sans, a solo exhibition of new works by artist Sonny Assu (Ligwilda’xw of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nations). Assu’s vigorous, interdisciplinary practice explores what it means to be an Indigenous person in contemporary Canada, channeling sci-fi, comic books, graffiti and 90’s nostalgia to disrupt expectations of Indigenous cultural identity through the artist’s personal experience. In Comic Sans, Assu utilizes the traditional artform known as formline, a complex visual language comprised of ovoids, s-shapes and u-shapes, historically employed on utilitarian and ceremonial objects such as totem poles, house fronts and transformational masks. Through his bold mashups of Kwakwaka’wakw iconography with pop and western aesthetics, Assu has developed a unique visual language with which to reclaim Indigenous identity and explore the powerful crosscurrents shaping his worldview.
