THROUGH Opening Reception

Queen West's vibrant art scene gets another standout opening this August as Twist Gallery hosts the reception for *THROUGH*, a captivating new body of work by artist Mark Viola. Known for process-driven and translucent compositions, Viola's latest pieces invite viewers to peer beneath the literal surface of the canvas.

What to Expect In *THROUGH*, figures emerge and recede through complex layers of paint, creating visual echoes of psychological and emotional weight. The exhibition challenges static notions of identity, presenting it as something continuously constructed, obscured, and revealed. It’s an immersive, thought-provoking collection that rewards slow, close looking.

The Neighbourhood Twist Gallery sits right in the heart of West Queen West (1100 Queen St W), making it the ideal starting point for a gallery crawl. Drop by for the free opening reception, then head out to explore the surrounding indie boutiques, cafes, and patios that define Toronto's arts district.
