Michael Smith: Wresting Vision Conjuring Place
James D. Campbell
Although first acclaimed for his works in abstraction, the British-born Canadian painter has increasingly straddled the border between representational and non-representational painting. Based on landscape referents, his paintings defy conventional pictorial interpretation and focus rather on elemental natural forces. Smith’s paintings are enquiries into the fugitive nature of memory and observation and the transition of landscape through light and atmospheric changes. Published with Nicholas Metevier Gallery.

David Urban: Parts of a World
David Pagel, David Moos & Mark Cheettham.
Urban's entire oeuvre drives a wedge between the subjective expressions and freely improvised compositions that have characterized Abstract Expressionism since the middle of the twentieth century. From thickly built-up and scraped encrustations of his smaller paintings to the consummately suave maneuvers of his larger ones, Urban's work is more indebted to Dubuffet's mute scrawlings and Jasper John's inscrutable brushstrokes than to the movement's free-wheeling gesturalism. The Toronto-based artist has had solo exhibitions at various galleries including Galerie René Blouin and Sable-Castelli Gallery. Two essays and an interview with the artist.

Ric Evans: A Ten Year Study 1989-1999
Gary Michael Dault & Steve Rockwell
In his thirty year career, Evans has at some point participated in every program minimalism provides. Resolutely Modernist, the Toronto-based painter's colourful, geometric compositions fall somewhere between rigorous constructivism, a calculated carpenter-like artifice, and a desire to be profoundly in-the-world. An essay and an interview with the artist.

Sadko Hadzihasanovic. The Talk Show Host, the Child Murderer, the Art Star and the Art Star's Wife
Gary Michael Dault
Born in Bosnia, Hadzihasanovic emigrated to Canada in 1993. His large "celebrity" portraits (60 inches square) applied to his now-trademark sheets of wallpaper have an intense immediacy. "It is very boring for me just to do portraits, so I start to play around as if I were making the front page of a magazine."
