Art Fair · Booth 223
Installation view: Quinn Henderson, Sideline 34, 2026 (centre), with works by A.J. Casson, Frank H. Johnston, Franklin Carmichael and A.Y. Jackson. Canadian Fine Arts, Toronto.
Historical significance and a broad view of Canadian Art is what sets us apart. With over 50 years in the art market, Michel Bigué and Wil Kucey are uniquely positioned to bridge the historical and contemporary divide — and to show where Canadian painting is heading, from a historical viewpoint.
At Art Toronto this year we bring the patriotic landscapes of the Group of Seven, the innovative abstract work of Riopelle and the Automatistes, and the overlooked Canadian Surrealists — alongside new paintings by gallery artist Quinn Henderson, who will be in the booth throughout the fair.
Booth 223, Metro Toronto Convention Centre
The most iconic of all Canadian artists, and often the first names mentioned by art lovers in Canada. Original works available, including A.J. Casson, Arthur Lismer, Lawren Harris, MacDonald, Franklin Carmichael, and Frank Johnston.
The most truly innovative development in Canadian Art, born out of protest and societal change. All eyes will be on Riopelle this Autumn, with the opening of the Espace Riopelle at the Musée National des Beaux-arts Du Québec in Québec City. Rare early works will be available to collectors.
A highly overlooked and accomplished movement in Canadian Art. Jean Dallaire and Alfred Pellan were players on the international scene before they were abruptly overshadowed by Riopelle and the Automatistes.
A top historical gallery’s contemporary pick to continue the trajectory of Canadian Landscape painting. Moody, atmospheric and aware of where it comes from, from Ozias Leduc and Maurice Cullen to A.J. Casson and Christopher Pratt.
Historical works are backed by curators, catalogues and auction results, not potential futures.

b. 1994, Guelph, Ontario
A self-taught oil painter working in a naturalistic, impressionistic register, with an emphasis on colour relationships and atmosphere. His subjects are the landscapes of Ontario and Newfoundland; his themes are solitude and stillness.
Henderson brings a moody atmospheric comment to the tradition of great landscape painters throughout Canadian history. He will be in the booth throughout the fair.
Chinese-Canadian, b. Jiangsu
Yan works with culturally loaded organic materials — cultivated lingzhi mushroom, freshwater pearl, silk — in sculpture concerned with migration, hybridity and the space between two cultures. Her rabbit sculpture is grown rather than carved.
Her work is held in the collection of the Royal Ontario Museum.

Based in London, Ontario
Stebbins builds his paintings from grids of small hand-painted squares, translating a source image square by square into something between a woven textile and a pixelated screen. The work sits between nineteenth-century pointillism and mid-century hard-edge abstraction.
Museum London gave him a ten-year retrospective in 2025. His work is held by the Canada Council Art Bank and by RBC.
Tell us what you are looking for and we will set aside time at the booth. We can also send a preview of the works before the fair opens.
