With hometown art heroes such as Borduas, Riopelle, Gagnon, Tousignant, Letendre and Leduc, Montreal is often thought of as a Canadian capital of abstract painting. That reputation gets an update this summer with the exhibition series “Extreme Painting,” which bridges shows at 16 commercial galleries across the city. Here, details on each gallery's contribution and a portfolio complements John Bentley Mays' feature on the exciting event in our summer issue.
