In conjunction with Art Toronto International Art Fair’s 2020, virtual/live edition, VIVIANEART is proud to present “Abstraction to the Power of Four”, a group exhibition of works by four Canadian artists, each with their own distinct approach to Abstract painting: Serena Beaulieu, Sarah Nordean, Shawn Evans and Scott Everingham.

Hailing from Montreal, Calgary, and Toronto their works reflect the deep variations within the genre of abstract painting. From the formal, minimalist, architectural works of Beaulieu, to the obsessive, repetitive, mark making of Nordean, to the layered translucent collage informed imagery of Evans, to the expressive and richly coloured narrative works of Everingham, they collectively explore the visual language of abstraction.
