Well Weather Window

Galerie Nicolas Robert Toronto

May 3 to June 7, 2025

May 3 to June 7, 2025Galerie Nicolas Robert, Toronto, is pleased to present Well Weather Window, a solo exhibition of Tristram Lansdowne’s most recent watercolour paintings.  Using a strategy of overlapping images and successively recessed spaces to create works that are composed almost entirely of framing devices. One image gives way to another and another, shifting gears each time between genres, viewpoints, and subjects. Developed by way of small intuitive drawings, a multitude of combinations are worked through in pursuit of new relationships between surface and depth. The final arrangements are then laid out in watercolor, the artist using a high level of precision to translate the source material into pictures we can seemingly reach into as if they were vitrines.
