Art André Ethier and Cathy Akers

Toronto-based André Ethier's grotesque, surreal paintings are psychedelic allegories illustrating misconceptions about modern history and culture. In his latest collection, Vancouver Before Christ, the artist paints humorous beastly figures and faces distorted by drips, with the hand of a contemporary Redon. In conjunction with Ethier's show, Honor Fraser opens Hertopia: An Illustrated History of the New World by Cathy Akers, whose hilarious handcrafted dioramas explore a female-only society where traditional expectations of women are completely thwarted.
