Figures Exhibition

Thanks to a donation from the gallery Au coin des artistes, received in 2024, TOHU has enriched its collection with over 50 works inspired by Quebec circus arts. On the occasion of the Montréal Complètement Cirque festival, TOHU is proud to present a selection of these new additions.

Inspired by the unique characters of the circus world, Yvan Genest offers portraits in which imagination elevates reality. To complement and welcome these works into our collection, they will be displayed alongside portraits from the Jacob-William Fund.
