Greg Curnoe (19 November 1936 – 14 November 1992) was a Canadian painter knownfor his role in the Canadian art movement labelled London Regionalism, which, beginning in the 1960s, made London, Ontario, an important centre for artistic production in Canada. While his oeuvre chronicled his daily experience in a variety of media, it was grounded in twentieth-century art movements, especially Dada, with its emphasis on nihilism and anarchism, Canadian politics, and popular culture. He is remembered for brightly coloured works that often incorporate text to support his strong Canadian patriotism, sometimes expressed as anti-Americanism, as well as his activism in support of Canadian artists.

ABOUT - Greg Benz
With its present focus on abstract landscapes and dreamlike resin pieces, the current artwork of greg benz is simply the next chapter in the artist’s career. His creative journey through music and visual art have given him a broad palette from which to create bold pieces on both canvas and wood- panel.
Utilizing nontraditional painting techniques, which center on mixing acrylics and liquid polymers, his large landscapes feature an authoritative use of color.
They are marked by textured surfaces so thick with paint that cracks — (reminiscent of arid parts of the earth’s surface) — are a striking feature.
His highly acclaimed work in resin is more explosive. The images are primordial, with the mash-up of colors and patterns giving the impression of acts of violent creation in deep space as plasma entities collide.

Tony Urquhart was recognized in the late 50’s and early 60’s as one of Canada’s early abstractionists. He is associated with the Toronto painters of the Isaac’s Gallery as well as the Heart of London group that included Greg Curnoe, Jack Chambers, and Murray Favro. Since the 60’s Urquhart has taken an independent path focusing on his ‘distinctive’ box format sculpture as well as his painting.*
Tony Urquhart’s first retrospective exhibition was held by the London Regional Art Gallery in 1970. Other retrospective exhibitions were mounted at the Art Gallery of Kitchener(1978) and the Art Gallery of Windsor(1988), both exhibitions travelled extensively from British Columbia to Newfoundland. In 1993, Tony Urquhart had participated in the very important National Gallery of Canada exhibition, The Crisis of Abstraction in Canada, which toured to the Musee du Quebec, Mackenzie Art Gallery, Regina, Glenbow Museum, Calgary, and the Art Gallery of Hamilton, Ontario. His works are in the collections of most major Canadian public art galleries and museums.*
Urquhart’s work is in the collections of international museums such as New York’s Museum of Modern Art; the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England; the Hirshorn Collection of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.; the Bibliotec National in Paris; the Museo Civico in Lugano; and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
