Red is Beautiful: Robert Houle

Showing at the AGO, until April 18, 2022.

Robert Houle is one of the most influential First Nations artists to break into the contemporary art world. His work blends abstraction, modernism and conceptualism with First Nations aesthetics and histories. Houle went from residential school to art school to museum boardrooms and on to the art world stage as an artist, curator and writer. This is a beautiful and thought provoking show, a retrospective showcasing his 50 + years.

Red is Beautiful runs April 18, 2022.
