Join us to delve into the artwork meaning and imagery of exhibiting artist Will Gorlitz, a representational painter who favours simple iconic subject matter that through strategic visualization of scale, composition, colour, and especially varied painterly brushwork, aims to attract the viewer’s attention and then ideally sustain it for a sufficient duration to activate imaginative reverie, metaphorical association, and critical thought.

Will Gorlitz has been working as a visual artist since the late 1970’s, while residing in Winnipeg, Halifax, Toronto, Prince Edward County, and currently in Guelph. Over this period, he has developed numerous thematically distinct bodies of work for exhibition at public and commercial galleries throughout Canada. His work has been chosen for inclusion in significant topical group exhibitions at public venues such as the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, the MacLaren Art Centre, the Modern Art Museum Shanghai, and the Bienal de São Paulo, among others.  His work as a whole has also been acknowledged with critical overviews by solo survey exhibitions at venues including the Art Gallery of Ontario, 49th Parallel, Centre for Contemporary Canadian Art, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Le Centre culturel canadien de Paris, the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art.
