Reinterpreting revered Canadian art history, Jon Sasaki’s “Homage” opens at MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie (CA). The Canadian conceptualist presents photographs of bacterial cultures grown from palettes and brushes used by the Group of Seven (image: Microbes Swabbed from a Palette Used by F.H. Varley detail, 2020). Created for a 2021 McMichael Canadian Art Collection exhibition, Sasaki intervenes in “the tradition-bound genre of landscape painting through the lens of contemporary photography.”
