Built For Art

Toronto's Downtown Arts Hub

401 Richmond is a heritage-designated industrial building turned arts and culture hub. Constructed in several phases between 1899 and 1923 for the Macdonald Manufacturing Company, the building operated as a tin factory best known for its lithographic work. That artistic lineage is still seen today with a community of nearly 150 artists, cultural producers, nonprofits and microenterprises.

Lucio de Heusch and Robert Cronin on now

Lucio de Heusch and Robert Cronin share a love of investigating relationships between form, colour, field/ground and the role of the viewer in formulating an ‘experience’ of painting. Lucio’s finely controlled brushwork belies the foil of neo-expressionism, blending the Op-Art tendencies of Quebec Abstractionists like Molinari, Tousignant and Gaucher with the cautious refinement of contemporaries such as Ron Shuebrook and Pat Thibert. Cronin uses canonical movements as building blocks for his sculpture, intertwining the playful palette of Matisse with the considered formalism of Calder’s stabiles. In juxtaposing these two colourists the exhibition highlights and compares their negotiations with past and present, interfacing with ideas of 1980s postmodernity in traditional media.
