For the Toronto portion of this special dual exhibition, Ross Penhall turns his attention to Ontario's landscape near Algonquin Provincial Park, one of Canada's most legendary painting places. Returning in both summer and fall, he witnessed the shoreline shift from saturated greens to a blaze of autumnal colour. In quiet dialogue with the historic legacy of the Group of Seven, this new body of work captures Penhall's fresh and deeply considered response to Ontario's storied wilderness.

In Closer to Home, Ross Penhall returns to the rugged terrain of his home province, British Columbia. Cooler tonalities, glacial fjords, steep valleys, and low coastal skies shape a compositional language that is sharper, more vertical, and distinctly West Coast. Together, these works reflect the contrast between two powerful Canadian landscapes – one newly explored, the other deeply known – and Penhall's evolving mastery of both.
