We are thrilled to share our upcoming exhibition featuring the Toronto-based color-field artist, Lawrence Morton, at Ashdale! Adored for his ability to evoke moments of soft contemplation through his work, Morton’s art is an essential addition to any discerning art collection or curation. We invite you to join us as we showcase an exceptional new collection that introduces a fresh style not previously seen at our gallery, while also highlighting some of Morton’s beloved and well-known pieces that have captivated our visitors here at Ashdale.

In these turbo-charged times of instant gratification, Morton’s calming canvases force us to step back, slow down, and enjoy a moment of quiet reflection and contemplation. We look forward to sharing this night with you. Lawrence will be in attendance for this evening and available for deeper conversations and interactions.

Using color as his subject matter, Morton doesn’t rely on dramatic scenes, lines or shapes to grab our attention. Instead, his paintings are like visual poems, featuring soft gradations of colour and pristine surfaces that stimulate the senses, touch the heart, and put the mind to rest. As they shift from darkness to light, what you see isn’t as important as how they make you feel.

Join us at Ashdale Gallery to experience these striking meditative works in person and let yourself be swept away. You’ll be glad you did.
