Paris Photo 2024
For Paris Photo 2024, Equinox Gallery presents a selection of exceptional colour photographs by David Hockney and Fred Herzog.
The booth will feature David Hockney’s 1976 portfolio Twenty Photographic Pictures in its entirety. Hockney first used photographic images as references for paintings. In 1976, Ileana Sonnabend showed Twenty Photographic Pictures at Sonnabend Gallery, marking the first time any of Hockney’s photographs were ever shown in a gallery setting. Following Hockney’s debut at Sonnabend, the Centre Pompidou, Paris, and the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris each presented exhibitions of Hockney’s photographs.

Shawn HuntDream Season
Equinox Gallery is pleased to present Dream Season, a solo exhibition of new works by Heiltsuk artist Shawn Hunt. This exhibition features a series of surreal scenes in which moments of the artist’s own life are re-imagined as present-day daydreams infused with Indigenous traditions. Illuminated by the moonlight, Hunt’s figures are suspended between the past, present and future, resisting a singular interpretation.
The exhibition opens on Thursday, October 17th. For more information, please contact the gallery at info@equinoxgallery.com

Dempsey BobSalmon
Dempsey Bob is a distinguished Tahltan and Tlingit artist of the Wolf Clan. His highly expressive works acknowledge the lineage to which they are indebted—in many cases telling the stories of his ancestors—while incorporating an expansive knowledge of sculptural practices worldwide. By blending traditional narratives with contemporary influences, he re-imagines convention with highly animated creations. His distinctive masks, bentwood boxes, and sculptures (both large scale and small) are striking in their distinguishing hallmarks: highly refined surfaces, voluptuousness of form, expressive shifts in proportion, and a unique approach to figural groups.

Gordon SmithEarly Works (1946 to 1966)
Gordon SmithEarly Works (1946 to 1966)
This exhibition is a rare opportunity to consider Gordon Smith’s artistic path as it developed from representational images of landscapes that were new and highly revelatory for him, to the fluidity of abstraction where the manipulation of paint and the balances of colour and light were the driving forces in creating compelling compositions.
This significant collection of works is the first exhibition in over twenty years to focus on the dynamic nature of his early career. During the optimism of the postwar period, Vancouver was a hotbed of exciting developments in West Coast Modernism and Smith was a central figure receiving national and international attention for canvases that were a bold and expressive response to western abstraction.
A preview of the exhibition is available in person at Equinox Gallery on Commercial Street, or via the catalogue linked Here.

Adad HannahGuernica
Adad Hannah’s exhibition brings together three variations of the artist’s ongoing exploration of Picasso’s Guernica. Through sculpture, video, and photography, Hannah’s evolving explorations of Guernica give contemporary contexts to one of the most famous protest paintings, offering the opportunity to shift our understanding of past narratives and think about where we currently stand, both historically and as viewers in front of artworks. Adad Hannah is known for a multivalent practice that reconsiders historical painting through the lens of photography and digital video in order to refresh the relationship between the subject of the artwork and the viewer.

Fred HerzogBlack and White
Fred HerzogBlack and White
Black and White is an exhibition celebrating Fred Herzog’s interest and affection for the city of Vancouver. Comprised of rarely seen black and white archival pigment prints, this exhibition is a rich and extended portrait of a city. A resident of Vancouver for over five decades, Fred Herzog worked downtown at St. Paul’s Hospital, and lived in the West End (later moving to the west side of the city). His walking tours regularly took him to the east side of the city where he was particularly attuned to Chinatown, Strathcona, the West End, and the working waterfronts. These areas sustained his interest for over 50 years.
