Current Exhibition
Trinidad Barros "On the Other Hand"
September 28, 2024 - October 19, 2024
Trinidad Barros, Schwanz, 2023, Peccary leather glove and horse hair, variable dimensions
"On the other hand" presents a collection of works that investigate the body and its fragments through textile sculpture and painting. The exhibition explores the different forms these representations take, creating an ambiguous dialogue between the fictional and the real, the absent and the present, the visible and the hidden. It invites viewers to imagine and complete, in a gestalt-like manner, the body that lies on the other side of the artwork.
Trinidad Barros lives and works in Santiago, Chile and this is her first solo presentation with Monica Reyes Gallery. The artist will be in attendance and we invite you to join us on Saturday,

ABOUT THE GALLERY
Mónica Reyes Gallery (MRG) has been supporting the growth and development of emerging, mid-career and established visual artists since 2013. While these artists are primarily based in western Canada, MRG’s reach extends to South America. Since its early days, MRG has been committed to exhibiting artists from the diaspora. The gallery showcases experimental approaches in various mediums such as painting, sculpture and textiles as well as media installations and billboards in public spaces. MRG often works with visual artists who employ abstraction to reflect on place in an unstable world.
MRG also initiated COMBINE Art Fair, an annual event since 2021 that is ongoing, and is the first art fair on the westcoast. Mónica Reyes Gallery is a driving force in the local art scene, recognized for its dynamic programming and social contributions. MRG takes pride in presenting a bold programme that is relevant and often challenging within a commercial context.
