Claire Oliver Gallery is pleased to announce its presentation at the 2024 edition of Art Toronto as part of the Discover program, presented by the Royal Bank of Canada. The exhibition showcases more than ten recent works from the gallery’s program, including new works by artists Gio Swaby, Simone Saunders, and Suyao Tian. Additionally, Gio Swaby’s work will be featured in the fair’s FOCUS exhibition, curated by Rhéanne Chartrand. Claire Oliver Gallery will be located at Booth C26 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from October 24 - 27, 2024.
The artists featured in this group exhibition work across a rich variety of media, ranging from the water-based paints of Suyao Tian to the intricate textile works of Gio Swaby and the meticulous tufted and mixed media pieces by Simone Saunders. Each artist deeply engages with themes of taking up space as a woman, self-empowerment, and uplifting others within their communities, while marking their identities in relation to community and belonging.
