(Toronto, ON, January 16th 2012) – ‘Kinship’ is an exhibition from thirteen Toronto artists that explores the symbolic nature of family and the imagery that portraits use to represent togetherness, regardless of any blood relation between subjects. Through drawing, painting and illustration, each artist looks beyond the careful posing and immaculate coifs of tradition in order to present their own interpretation of the family unit. Some are fantastic and curious. Some are dignified and respectable. Some wear matching sweaters.
The Opening Night Party will take place on Wednesday February 6th 2013 from 7-11pm at Steam Whistle Brewing at 255 Bremner Blvd or visit the brewery during all of February to see the exhibition.
