Exhibitions

The Robert McLaughlin Gallery is dedicated to the collection, preservation and exhibition of the best in Canada's art heritage; the collection includes an extensive selection of Canadian masterpieces. Since Painters Eleven, Ontario's first abstract painting group, was founded in Oshawa/Whitby in 1953, the Gallery has always taken a deep interest in the work of these outstanding artists, their significant contemporaries and followers. There is, within the mandate, a specific dedication to Painters Eleven and to concerns that arise naturally in the creative tension between representational and non-representational art. In its programming, services and resources the Gallery gives special attention to the practices and discourse centred in non-representational art, and in their various developments from modernism to contemporary post-structuralism, including new media and technology.
