On now at Gerrard Art Space, Thin Scrims/Meanwhile Everything, new paintings by Matt Wood.
A member of Gerrard Art Space, Wood’s textured paintings evoke barren, mysterious prospects and faraway lands. His technique: pressing and scraping glazes of paint over stacked veneers of plywood sheets “in an attempt to reveal a rise or a writhe of the things behind the things in front.”
Thin Scrims/Meanwhile Everything runs through September 25 at Gerrard Art Space, located at 1475 Gerrard Street East, across from Rhodes United Church. The gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. For more, visit www.gerrardartspace.com.
