Authier’s painting "Venture Myth", acrylic on canvas, 56" x 66", 2022-23 featured in Group Exhibition Fresh Air: New Acquisitions in Context.

Fresh Air: New Acquisitions in Context highlights recent acquisitions alongside long-held works in the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. Perspectives on belonging, cultivation, and landscape unite the works of more than ten featured artists.

Press release excerpt, courtesy of the McMichael:

“This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the art of Canada through unexpected juxtapositions and thematic groupings that inspire curiosity, reflection and delight… The McMichael’s collection is a living, breathing conversation- one that delights in the resonances that appear when old and new are allowed to intermingle. Fresh Air is an invitation to see the McMichael’s collection anew, and to imagine its future as one that reflects the full richness of the country’s artistic landscape.”
