Scott Lyall
16 Oct - 22 Nov 2014
opening on Thursday, 16 October from 7 to 9 p.m., the gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by Scott Lyall.
For his fifth exhibition at the Susan Hobbs Gallery, Scott Lyall will present print-works on painted linen and glass. All of the works were made within the technical possibilities of wide format UV-printing using digital colour profiles. Each involves techniques of color compression and sublimation, but then adapts the imprinted colors to very different kinds of effects. These shifting spaces of colour and fully abstracted special effects extend the range of Lyall’s reflection on digital colour and print technology into a space of historical difference between painting and photography.
Scott Lyall was born in Toronto in 1964, and works in both New York and Toronto. He has exhibited his work widely in the United States and Canada, most recently at PS122 (New York), The SculptureCenter (New York), Contemporary Art Gallery (Vancouver), SITE Santa Fe (Santa Fe, New Mexico), The Power Plant (Toronto), and Le Confort Moderne (Poitiers, France).
Susan Hobbs Gallery is open to the public Wednesday to Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and by appointment. The gallery is located at 137 Tecumseth Street, Toronto.
