Feheley Fine Arts in Toronto just opened a new exhibit featuring two-dimensional work by Michael Massie. Fans of Massie’s work may be surprised by the form, but will surely recognize the wit.
“Shifting his focus from three-dimensional forms to the two-dimensional realm, Massie rekindles his connection to drawing as the beginnings of his artistic practice. This new exploration offers a rare glimpse into the artist’s hand and process, featuring self-portraits, teacup ring stains imprinted on sketch paper, and abstracted visual depictions of memories and intimate stories on canvas. This is the first time Massie has depicted himself in his narrative works, masterfully capturing the feeling of feverishly creating in his workshop into the early morning.”

As usual, Feheley has put together a fun and informative page on the exhibit with beautifully presented images that you can enlarge to really see and enjoy. If you can’t get to the gallery, be sure to check the exhibit web page to enjoy these wonderfully imaginative images virtually.
Michael Massie “From My Mind” is on display until March 1, 2025.
