Solo Exhibition

Main Gallery

Opening reception: Saturday July 17, 2-4 pm | Artist in Attendance

Bau-Xi Vancouver proudly presents Chance at Bliss, a solo exhibition of works by award-winning Vancouver based photographic artist Anthony Redpath. Renowned for transforming ordinary, everyday scenes into the extraordinary, Anthony Redpath brings together a collection of new and earlier works, exhibited collectively for the first time. Through beach, park, and pool scenes that highlight Vancouver's inherent natural beauty, Chance at Bliss captures the light, colour, and social rhythms of a West Coast summer, while also indicating that simmering just below the surface is a sense of needed escape from the collective and individual burdens of contemporary life.

Artist statement:

This body of work is a study of the human spectacle in our epic surroundings of water and mountains.

The highly detailed photographs, meticulously constructed from 15 to 50+ images or more, consider the collective weight of politics, the environment, commercialism, idealism, and social issues, from which the people appear in a temporary state of whimsical detachment through various forms of leisure. Controlling the subject, mood and narrative with my considered selection and placement of individual beachgoers, I reveal aspects of the evolving human predicament. From a distance, the viewer experiences an overarching view of the human species and a striking statement of texture and colour over a majestic background; in moving in closer, the stories of the individuals come into focus.

There is a lot of noise in the media and in society that is healthy to shut off from time to time. I am advocating for a break or respite from the mental and emotional burden: in spite of all the chaos that is current daily life on a personal and global level, perhaps for a moment or two we can have a chance a bliss.

Drew Burnham | Alive and Talking
July 9 - August 3, 2026
Opening Reception Thursday, July 9 , 5:30 - 7:30 PM
Bau-Xi Gallery | Dufferin
1384 Dufferin Street, Toronto | Main Gallery

This July, Bau-Xi Dufferin is thrilled to share Alive and Talking, the eagerly awaited exhibition by highly sought after Canadian landscape painter, Drew Burnham. Rather than simply depicting nature, Burnham seeks to communicate what he describes as the spirit or essence of a place, allowing each painting to evolve intuitively as he works. This approach gives his landscapes a dynamic quality in which forests seem to sway, water appears to pulse, and the entire scene feels animated by an inner life.

Artist statement:

From nuclear particles to grasses, trees, rocks, water and so on to us, the world is made. Although it may mystify us as to how beauty and sentience ‘become', it is this beauty and sentience which informs the works I do.

The only goal I have had, through the countless months spent on each of these canvases, is to create an image which passes the life force of the subject over to the viewer. Time was ignored; having taken these four paintings through a lengthy period of creation, refinement, and completion. Every request I received from the forming images has been considered.

It may be a tall order, but my wish is for the viewer to be taken into the realm where their spirit resides and resonates, on a deep level, with what they are experiencing.

- Drew Burnham, 2026

__________

Drew Burnham is a Canadian landscape painter best known for his distinctive, stylized realist depictions of the coastal landscapes of British Columbia. His paintings combine vivid colour, flowing glazed lines, and carefully structured compositions to create scenes that feel both recognizable and animated with rhythm and energy.

Burnham studied fine art and architectural rendering at what is now Emily Carr University of Art + Design and at the University of Victoria, and trained under respected Canadian artists Don Jarvis and Toni Onley. Burnham's work often focuses on forests, shorelines, islands, rivers, and small coastal communities, capturing not only their physical forms but also a sense of movement and atmosphere. His paintings blend realism with a graphic, almost architectural approach, using bold outlines and layered paint to give landscapes a luminous quality.

Over the years, Burnham has become one of Canada's most sought-after contemporary landscape painters, with numerous sold-out exhibitions and works held in private and corporate collections, including those of the City of Vancouver, the Edmonton Art Gallery, and Athabasca University.

Vicki Smith | Peace of Mind
Solo Exhibition
June 27-July 15, 2026
Main Gallery
3045 Granville Street, Vancouver
Opening reception: Saturday June 27, 2-4 pm

Bau-Xi Vancouver proudly presents Peace of Mind, the new solo exhibition by Toronto based artist Vicki Smith. Smith invites viewers into a contemplative world where stillness, presence, and self-awareness emerge through her luminous waterscapes and floating figures, which act as portals to personal memories and recollections. Rooted in the artist’s belief that painting is a form of meditation, these works offer a quiet refuge from the noise of everyday life, encouraging a deeper connection to the present moment and the possibility of inner calm.

Artist statement:

Can a painting bring us peace of mind?

By grounding us in the present moment art can change the way we experience a complex and noisy world. Both creating and looking at art will focus our attention and deepen our awareness allowing the mental chatter to fade and give way to an open and expansive mind.

‘Peace of mind’ is the most honest and accurate answer to why I paint. The sanctuary of quiet stillness that happens in a painting session is not intentional but it is the outcome. When it is just me and the paint trying to come to a silent agreement, time and my inner dialogue disappear. For me, painting is a working meditation that fosters peace of mind.

As always, peace is in the pause,
Vicki Smith 2026

Gallery Artists | Canada Days: Celebrating the Canadian Landscape

Group Exhibition
June 18 - Aug 3, 2026
Bau-Xi Gallery | Dufferin
1384 Dufferin Street, Toronto | Upper Gallery

The Canadian landscape remains one of the most enduring and compelling subjects in Canadian art. Canada Days: Celebrating the Canadian Landscape brings together Bau-Xi artists from across the country, showcasing the many ways contemporary artists continue to engage with and reinterpret the land through their distinctive visual languages.

From coastlines and forests to mountains, lakes, and prairies, the landscapes represented in this exhibition reflect the breadth and diversity of Canada's geography. Yet rather than offering a single vision of place, the exhibition highlights a wide range of artistic approaches. Some artists work from direct observation, capturing fleeting moments of light, atmosphere, and season, while others draw upon memory, abstraction, and imagination to create deeply personal interpretations of the natural world.

Each work reveals a unique relationship to the landscape. Through colour, gesture, texture, and form, familiar environments are transformed into expressions of experience, perception, and emotion. Together, these paintings demonstrate how the landscape continues to serve as both subject and inspiration, providing artists with an ever-evolving framework for creative exploration.

Bringing together perspectives from across Canada, Canada Days: Celebrating the Canadian Landscape celebrates the strength and diversity of Bau-Xi's artists while affirming the ongoing relevance of landscape within contemporary Canadian art. The exhibition invites viewers to experience the country through many different eyes, discovering not one Canadian landscape, but many.

Anne Griffiths | Following Echoes
Solo Exhibition
June 6-20, 2026
Main Gallery
3045 Granville Street, Vancouver
Opening reception and book release: Saturday June 6, 2-4 pm
Artist In Attendance

Bau-Xi Vancouver is thrilled to present Following Echoes, the new solo exhibition by BC-based artist Anne Griffiths. Known for her emotive, abstracted landscapes and elegant palette, Griffiths continues her exploration of natural spaces while delving deeper into the lingering impressions they leave behind. Her work captures both the stillness and subtle vibration present in nature - sensations that emerge through extended contemplation.

The opening of Following Echoes also marks the release of Anne Griffiths' first book, Mapping Nature.

Artist statement:

With Following Echoes, I find myself tracing the quiet patterns and networks within the landscape; the way a long period of observation reveals layers hidden just beneath the surface. When you slow down and truly sit in nature, you begin to perceive a specific kind of logic: the forest holding its own conversations. These paintings are an attempt to capture those resonances; they are echoes of memory rendered through layered colour and gesture.

This exhibition builds on the exploration I began with Mapping Nature; both the exhibition at Bau-Xi Toronto earlier this year and my recently published book. Where that work charted the initial journey through a landscape, translating the immediate memory of a place, this new body of work follows those echoes deeper. It is a more careful look at the stillness and the vibration that remains after the first impression fades.

These paintings translate the feeling of being entirely immersed: the gestural quality of light moving through trees, the sense of standing still while the world around you hums with a quiet, persistent intensity. They exist on the edge between representation and abstraction, mapping not just what the coast looks like, but what it feels like to truly pay attention.

Gallery Artists | States of Nature

States of Nature | Group Exhibition
May 7 - June 1, 2026
Bau-Xi Gallery | Dufferin
1384 Dufferin Street, Toronto | Upper Gallery

This May, Bau-Xi Gallery | Dufferin is pleased to present States of Nature, a group exhibition featuring works by Erin Armstrong, Barbara Cole, Darlene Cole, Robert Marchessault, Steven Nederveen and Ian Stone.

Plants and animals have long occupied a central role in the history of painting, symbolizing cycles of life, decay, beauty, and power. In this exhibition, such traditions are both honored and unsettled. Some artists work with close botanical precision, rendering petals, leaves, fur, and feather with an almost archival sensitivity. Others dissolve these forms into something less representational, where color, gesture, and texture evoke the rhythms and energies of living systems rather than their exact appearances.

Across diverse styles and approaches, these artists engage with the natural world not merely as subject matter, but as a site of inquiry—one that reflects broader questions of coexistence, transformation, and awareness.

Isabelle Menin | Uncanny and Sublime

Isabelle Menin | Uncanny and Sublime
May 7 - June 1, 2026
Bau-Xi Gallery | Dufferin
1384 Dufferin Street, Toronto | Main Gallery

In Uncanny and Sublime, on display at Bau-Xi Gallery | Dufferin this May, Isabelle Menin's trademark expressive forms coalesce into layered transparencies and riotous arrangements. The resulting images are imbued simultaneously with a Baroque lushness and sophisticated contemporary edge. Within that context, Menin aims to create work which expresses basic human emotions, reflecting on her perceptions of life, but at the same time also vibrant and rich.

Uncanny and Sublime is part of CONTACT Photography Festival's 30th anniversary programming.

__________

Belgian photographer Isabelle Menin (b. 1961, Brussels) refers to her photographs as ‘disordered landscapes’: utilizing layers of original photographs, Menin juxtaposes her floral subject matter with her skillful use of digital manipulation to create vignettes imbued with playful artifice.

Informed by her background as a painter and illustrator, the painterly nature and graphic sensibility of Menin’s approach reinterprets her own photographic imagery of flowers as source material. Digitally abstracted and reoriented, the petals and stems abundant in Menin’s compositions become disembodied gestures. Through Menin’s process, these expressive forms coalesce into layered transparencies and riotous arrangements, imbued simultaneously with a Baroque lushness and sophisticated contemporary edge.

Menin is a graduate of the Graphic Research School (ERG) in Brussels and has exhibited internationally in numerous art fairs and museums, Menin's works can be found in many private and corporate collections.

Nicole Katsuras | Atlas
Solo Exhibition
May 9-23, 2026
Main Gallery
3045 Granville Street, Vancouver
Opening reception: Saturday May 9, 2-4 pm
Artist In Attendance

Bau-Xi Vancouver proudly presents Atlas, the new solo exhibition by Canadian artist Nicole Katsuras. With a deep, ongoing influence from the visual and conceptual balance found in Japanese ukiyo-e images, Katsuras incorporates the additional Japanese influence of wabi-sabi in a new collection of elegant impasto works gently suggestive of land formations, balancing precision and spontaneity and infused with a sense of desire for adventure.

Artist Statement:

My new paintings emerge from a dialogue between two foundational pillars of Japanese aesthetics - the visual language of ukiyo-e and the philosophy of wabi-sabi - and my contemporary painterly practice. The works chart a journey, an exploration of forms loosely suggestive of topographical features – craggy peaks, swift rivers and blooming valleys, meandering trails and remote coves.

The compositions are built upon luminous, hand-dragged oil grounds - fields of flat colour and subtle gradients that echo the spatial clarity and graphic restraint of ukiyo-e prints. These calm, distilled backdrops are disrupted by richly textured impasto forms and paint extrusions in an array of shapes that rise from the surface in organic, almost sculptural relief. My chosen palette reflects an affinity with the harmonies explored by early to mid 20th century Japanese painter Sanzo Wada - unexpected colour juxtapositions evoke a sensitivity to mood and season, while also bridging historical colour systems with a contemporary visual language. Some of the compositions utilize these concepts to joyful, expansive abundance, while others possess a poetic spareness. In its entirety, the collection represents a balance between calculated precision and spontaneous gesture.

While my works suggest natural forms, I do not seek to depict the natural world so much as embody its principles: growth, impermanence, and transformation. I strive to spark an awareness of the world beyond - be it actual or metaphorical - and offer a meditation on how imperfection can be a desired, essential and appreciated element in the construction of beauty.

Vicky Christou | Ebb and Flow
May 9-23, 2026
Upper Gallery
3045 Granville Street, Vancouver
Opening Reception: Saturday May 9, 2-4pm
Artist in Attendance

Bau-Xi Vancouver proudly presents Ebb and Flow, the new solo exhibition by Vancouver artist Vicky Christou.

Ever inspired by nature and the sublime order of the universe, Vicky Christou continues to build on this theme with meditative, highly textural, minimalist works, focusing on elegantly abstracted iterations of forest and field bracken, tidal elements, and celestial cycles. The rhythmic and gradual shifts of extruded paint lines suggest and emphasize the natural progression of all things.

Artist Statement:

This body of work emerges from time spent walking along local shorelines and forest trails, where I am drawn to the shifting rhythms of the natural world. Seasonal changes offer moments of quiet connection, which I translate into symbolic abstract forms that echo the ebb and flow of daily life.

I continue exploration of the visual and conceptual dialogue between crafted textiles and the materiality of paint. Echoing the meditative labour of weaving, my process is grounded in repetition and duration, where time, gesture, and touch are embedded within the surface. Some lines soften through circular motion, while others maintain a measured regularity; painterly gesture adopts the tactile sensibility of textile.

These paintings reflect an ongoing mediation on cycles amidst unpredictability: the order within chaos. Repeated marks accumulate into expansive grids that suggest both structure and fluidity: an ocean of pattern, like currents folding into one another. Change is constant, yet patterns persist.

-Vicky Christou, 2026

Joshua Jensen-Nagle | Echoes of Light: Collected Works

Joshua Jensen-Nagle | Echoes of Light: Collected Works
April 9 - 27, 2026
Bau-Xi Gallery | Dufferin
1384 Dufferin Street, Toronto
Guided Tour & Closing Reception: Saturday, April 25th from 10:45 AM- 12:45 PM | Artist in Attendance

This April, Bau-Xi Gallery | Dufferin presents Echoes of Light: Collected Works. Spanning a decade of Joshua Jensen-Nagle’s extensive practice, this rich collection is unified by a focus on emotional resonance and capturing moments that feel both real and imagined. Jensen-Nagle’s photography blends constructed and natural light to evoke feelings, inviting viewers to question and interpret what they are experiencing. By shaping emotion and creating atmosphere, Jensen-Nagle endeavors to leave a lasting impression rather than recording a specific time or place.

Artist Statement:

Photography, at its most fundamental, is the act of capturing light. What continues to fascinate me is not just the act itself, but the countless ways in which that light can be shaped, constructed, or discovered. Some artists build it entirely within a studio, while others chase it in the natural world. My practice exists somewhere in between, using photography not simply to document, but as a means to create and capture feeling.

I have always been drawn to a poetic sensibility in my work. At times it is dramatic, at others more subdued, and often it invites a quiet questioning of how the image came to feel the way it does. I am less interested in a single truth than in the emotional resonance an image can hold, and how light, place, and atmosphere can suggest something beyond what is seen.

This collection brings together works created over a decade, spanning multiple series and approaches. While the methods may shift, a consistent thread runs throughout, a sense of nostalgia and romanticism. The images reflect a longing for moments that feel both immediate and distant: places experienced, remembered, or perhaps imagined.

In the end, these works are less about documenting a specific location or time, and more about capturing an echo of light that lingers with the viewer. - Joshua Jensen-Nagle
