Chromatic Structures

Chromatic Structures brings together two large-scale paintings by Robert Sakowski and one vibrant work by Paul Hutner to explore hard-edge and post-painterly abstraction in Canada from the 1970s to the late 1980s. Through geometry, colour, and surface, these paintings reveal abstraction as a rigorous and dynamic language of visual thinking and spatial experimentation.

Installed in the WAG’s Main Hall, the exhibition highlights scale and architectural dialogue, inviting viewers to move through colour, pattern, and structure in a concentrated encounter with abstraction at a monumental scale.
