William Perehudoff: Five Decades features a selection of paintings from the 1960s to the early 2000s. This exhibition delves into Perehudoff’s evolution as an abstract painter and his distinctive sensibilities toward line, colour and form. Through careful curation, we see how Perehudoff’s work progressed from geometric abstraction to circular shapes, gestural marks and organic forms, with later works echoing his earlier style. Perehudoff’s career is eloquently brought full circle, celebrating his role in the history of abstraction and Colour Field Painting in Canada.
