Patel Brown Gallery’s Inaugural Exhibitions

Sean Yelland: Lazy Boy at Ingram Gallery
by Hugh Alcock
Yelland’s paintings are alluring in their compositions and colours. As a long-time resident of Toronto I recognise his works collectively as a love-letter to the city. He tenderly captures the essence of the place.
Rae Johnson at Christopher Cutts
by Hugh Alcock
It is the tension between the physical and the psychological that makes her work gripping. Hers is a powerful unique voice, wonderfully showcased by Christopher Cutts’ judicious selection.
Carol Wainio at Paul Petro
by Hugh Alcock
There is little doubt that Wainio is a rarely gifted artist with an uncanny ability to conjure out of paint a spellbinding object, rich in possibilities.
Drawing Unlimited at Propeller
by Hugh Alcock
The exhibition has been masterfully hung to juxtapose the drawings in a stimulating and thought-provoking manner
Age of You / MOCA
by Hugh Alcock
It is provocative, intelligently thought out and brimming with great art. MOCA has provided a grand exhibition to reflect on all the disruptive changes our society is experiencing.
Sandblom and Tseng at Elaine Fleck
by Hugh Alcock
These two artists share a sophistication of thought that is evident in these beautiful works.

all of the works are measured in the sense that they are not obscenely didactic, but rather show restrains with regards to the difficult subject they tackle
Z’otz at YYZ
by Hugh Alcock
It is elusively compelling work. Their drawings and sculptures have an authenticity that is rarely found
Sputnik Photos of a Fallen Empire
by Hugh Alcock
The underlying theme is one of dereliction. Scattered around the various former republics of the Soviet Union are the ruins of failed utopian projects.
