Official Opening & Reception on October 13th, 2018 with the Artist Present from 1 5 pm. This solo exhibition by multi-disciplinary artist and sculptor Mark Prent marks his return to Toronto since exhibiting at the Isaacs Gallery throughout the 70s and 80s. Prent is not a single idea artist -- his pieces don't necessarily represent variations on one theme. Some speak to a kind of apocalypse, while others are more awe-inspiring fusion of the monstrous and the imaginary. His work has been exhibited extensively all over the world, with solo shows at such institutions as the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Holland; the Akademie Der Kunst in Berlin, Germany; and the Musee d'art contemporain in Montreal, Canada.
