Olga Korper Gallery

Olga Korper Gallery We love art. We love the heck out of art. Just ask. We'll tell you how much we love it. In 1973, the gallery opened as Gallery O on Markham Street in Toronto.

Established in 1973, the Olga Korper Gallery is dedicated to the promotion and exhibition of Canadian and international contemporary art, both locally and abroad. Having long demonstrated a strong commitment to painting and sculpture, the gallery's scope has expanded to include installation, video and photo-based work. In 1982, Olga moved to 80 Spadina Avenue with fellow dealers Lynne Wynick, Davi

d Tuck (Wynick/Tuck Gallery) and Fela Grunwald (the Grunwald Gallery), occupying the fourth floor, now a well-established destination for gallery-goers. In 1989 the Olga Korper Gallery opened at its current location on 17 Morrow Avenue.

Countdown to the opening of Sarah Tompkins’ debut exhibition, Bad Alchemy❤️‍🔥 Join us as we celebrate at the opening reception this Saturday, June 13th, from 2 - 5 pm.

In her debut solo exhibition at Olga Korper Gallery, Sarah Tompkins draws upon the mythology and material logic of alchemy as a framework for understanding painting itself. Historically, alchemy promised impossible transformations: the transmutation of base metals into gold, the discovery of universal remedies, the pursuit of hidden knowledge through fire, experimentation, and faith. For Tompkins, these pursuits become an analogy for the act of painting, where intention collides with uncertainty and where every mark enters a chain reaction whose outcome can never be fully known.

Sarah Tompkins: Bad Alchemy
🔸June 13 - July 11
🔸opening reception: Saturday June 13, 2:00 - 5:00 PM

Featured artwork: Bad Alchemy, 2026, oil and acrylic on canvas, 72” x 60”

Featured in the Capture Photography Festival is Katherine Takpannie’s Tulugaq #6 | ᑐᓗᒐᖅ | Raven (2025) 🐦‍⬛ “I’m Movable” curated by Jake Kimble is a multi-site public art project on five billboards along East Hastings St, between Hawks Avenue and Vernon Drive, Vancouver. Billboards featuring the works of Jeremy Dennis, Katherine Takpannie, and Maureen Gruben will be on view until May 31st 🐦‍⬛

“These artists grapple with and hold conversations with the attempted eradication of Indigeneity. The lens becomes a tool that all three artists use to carve out a presence that refutes dismissal… Katherine Takpannie, playing Raven in her piece Tulugaq | ᑐᓗᒐᖅ, carries forward the permanence of Indigeneity. Like Dennis, she is both the photographed and the photographer, continuing the lineage of correcting the representation of Indigenous peoples. Takpannie, an urban Inuk born in Montreal, situates herself in a contemporary nature, combining traditional storytelling with a cheeky regard to today.” - Jake Kimble
