Past

Takao Tanabe
Early 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.

Vitality: Fred Herzog Photographs In and Around Chinatown
Curated by Carol Lee

Equinox Gallery presents a solo exhibition of street photographs by Fred Herzog, chronicling  the street life of Vancouver’s Chinatown and surrounding neighbourhoods in the 1950s and 1960s. Guest-curated by Carol Lee, co-founder and Chair of the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation and committed advocate for the revitalization of Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside, the works in this exhibition highlight the area’s history of vibrant street life, businesses and social centres. As a champion of Chinatown’s resilience and with deep knowledge of its past, Lee’s engagement with Herzog’s photographs offers a renewed appreciation for his artistic vision while emphasizing the significant cultural heritage in our city.

The exhibition will be open to the public through May 10th. For more information or to request a list of available works, please contact the gallery at info@equinoxgallery.com

Maggee Day
Studio Interior

Maggee Day’s paintings capture the evolving experience of working in her Chinatown studio. Scattered paint cans, studio chairs, architectural details, and budding trees seen through her window find their way onto her canvases through a generative process that reveals unexpected angles and new ways of seeing. Working on multiple canvases at once, she allows each layer to dry over time, returning with fresh perspective. Through this gradual layering, her paintings offer shifting observations of the same space, creating a visual history of change—shadows stretching, objects rearranging, and light subtly transforming the perception of forms.

Angela Grossmann
Figures

As a figurative painter, Angela Grossmann believes the human form continues to hold profound significance in expressing our humanity and condition. In her new series of paintings on Mylar, Grossmann presents female figures, each distinct in their gestures—dancing, sitting, dressing—rendered in unique and vibrant colours. Her work reflects on the complexities of figurative painting, where the tension between expectation and surprise is embedded in the creative process.

Douglas Coupland
Models

Equinox Gallery presents Models, a special project featuring Canadian artist Douglas Coupland. The exhibition includes a series of intimate figurative paintings that give insight into a new facet of Coupland’s painting practice. Free from idealized associations, the works in Models demonstrate Coupland’s deep engagement with the world around him.

This exhibition is presented in collaboration with Danial Faria Gallery, Toronto.

Angela Teng
Colourwork

Equinox Gallery presents Angela Teng: Colourwork, a solo exhibition of paintings for the Pacific Gallery at the Fairmont Pacific Rim.

Teng (b. 1979) has been acknowledged nationwide for her experimentation with the medium of paint, particularly her works made by crocheting paint strings. After squeezing and drying lengths of different coloured paints into thin strips that approximate yarn, Teng uses a single hook to crochet the paint into rectangular and square compositions. Her works elicit a broad range of references, from the colourful, commonplace Afghan throw to the geometric abstraction of high modernism, all while implicating the artistic labour of women that has typically earned the distinction of “craft” rather than “art”.

This is an off-site exhibition located at The Pacific Gallery in the Fairmont Pacific Rim.

Bobbie Burgers
Iterations

Iterations is a maximalist exploration of form, colour, and mark-making where the artist is adding complexity through increased awareness of materiality contrasted against a heightened sense of spontaneity. Known for her sumptuous use of paint and dedication to the subject of botanicals, Bobbie Burgers’ exhibition explores iterations of two specific paintings in her new works on paper. The process by which the new works on paper were developed was new to the artist. Beginning with two works on canvas, she had archival prints prepared in two sets of three. From there, she layers and obscures and complicates the imagery through a process of addition and subtraction, through the processes of painting and collage. The source of the collaged elements is taken from previously unfinished paintings, works whose final expression was never fulfilled. In this way, Burgers strips the brush strokes of their original place and reinterprets them within a new context. This process allows the artist to reconcile with the incomplete past while developing a revised future for the works. For the viewer, the details within each work emerge and recede, disappearing into the brush work or projected to the forefront of the image, offering endless possibilities in how the works evolve and can be seen.
