Gordon Smith
Early Works (1946 to 1966)

September 6, 2024 - October 11, 2024

This exhibition is a rare opportunity to consider Gordon Smith’s artistic path as it developed from representational images of landscapes that were new and highly revelatory for him, to the fluidity of abstraction where the manipulation of paint and the balances of colour and light were the driving forces in creating compelling compositions.
This significant collection of works is the first exhibition in over twenty years to focus on the dynamic nature of his early career. During the optimism of the postwar period, Vancouver was a hotbed of exciting developments in West Coast Modernism and Smith was a central figure receiving national and international attention for canvases that were a bold and expressive response to western abstraction.
A preview of the exhibition is available in person at Equinox Gallery on Commercial Street, or via the catalogue linked Here.

Dempsey Bob
Salmon

September 6, 2024 - October 11, 2024

Dempsey Bob is a distinguished Tahltan and Tlingit artist of the Wolf Clan. His highly expressive works acknowledge the lineage to which they are indebted—in many cases telling the stories of his ancestors—while incorporating an expansive knowledge of sculptural practices worldwide. By blending traditional narratives with contemporary influences, he re-imagines convention with highly animated creations. His distinctive masks, bentwood boxes, and sculptures (both large scale and small) are striking in their distinguishing hallmarks: highly refined surfaces, voluptuousness of form, expressive shifts in proportion, and a unique approach to figural groups.

Hamed Rashtian
Word Sculptures

October 17, 2024 - November 15, 2024

Equinox Gallery is delighted to present Word Sculptures, a solo exhibition of bronze works by Hamed Rashtian. Inspired by the history of concrete poetry and the methods poets employ to abstract literature into visual forms, Rashtian aims to distill poems into single words. In this exhibition, poetry finds new dimensions through the interplay of form and meaning, beckoning viewers to discover and unravel the hidden realms of language and visual art.
The exhibition opens on Thursday, October 17th. For more information, please contact the gallery at info@equinoxgallery.com
