About the exhibition:
"There is a form of abstraction that is born from the knowledge that painting is process and that paint, like print, television, the Internet – is not simply a conveyor of content but is in-itself the stuff of thought. The artists in Systems Check: Lowell Bradshaw, Mathew Bushell, Ingrid Calame, Paul Dignan, and Angela Leach have each created their own idiosyncratic, methodological approaches to painting. These artists, from Canada and the United States utilize a wide variety of sites, systems and tools in shaping well-defined and deliberate frameworks; each one incorporating varying degrees of chance, mystery and the matter-of-fact. As divergent as their work may appear the artists featured in Systems Check share a common sense of clarity and economy. This is work that avoids painterly pratfalls and bluster while contributing to an expanding vision of painting’s potential."
