The 80s Image explores the curious resiliency of painting and still-photography throughout the decade, and artists’ responsiveness to the rapidly expanding media landscape-video, television, cinema, satellite and computer imagery, and billboard advertising. In this exhibition, you’ll see approximately 50 works by Canadian artists whose paintings and photographs helped to define the 1980s.
