Renée Van Halm’s solo exhibition “Got you covered” is on view until June 20, 2026 “Visual suggestions from the world of advertising conform with numerous expected ideals of beauty and youth. The phenomenon of finding faces in most simple of representations (pareidolia) is difficult to overcome. In this work I have started with silhouettesand then attempted to integrate them into abstract compositions while retaining the basic form and gesture of the pose.” RVH Born in the Netherlands, Renée Van Halm immigrated to Canada as a child. She currently lives and works in Vancouver, after extended periods in Toronto, Montréal, and Berlin. She studied at the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily Carr University of Art +Design) and holds an MFA from Concordia University in Montréal. Van Halm has exhibited widely, with over 50 solo exhibitions and numerous group shows, including Making Space (Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, 2020), Form Follows Fiction (UTAC, Toronto, 2016), The Poetics of Space (Vancouver Art Gallery, 2015) and international exhibitions in Sydney and Tokyo. Her work is held in public and private collections internationally including the National Gallery of Canada. General Hardware 1520 Queen St. W.

Renée Van Halm: Got you covered On view until June 20, 2026 GHC is thrilled to present a solo exhibition of new works by Renée Van Halm. Cultural history and the ways we represent and inhabit the world through artistic interventions has long been central Renée Van Halm’s work. Van Halm draws her images from a variety of sources: mainstream fashion, architecture and decor magazines, and more recently the work of 1920s Bauhaus artists and weavers, in considering the ways in which architectural space governs contemporary human experience. More than forty years ago, Van Halm began working with the architecture found in early Renaissance painting, constructing life-sized, three-dimensional structures inspired by those pictorial spaces. This led her to consider how architectural space shapes contemporary experience how it frames the body, whether overtly visible or only implied. These concerns continue to inform her practice across painting, drawing, and, most recently, ceramics. Born in the Netherlands, Renée Van Halm immigrated to Canada as a child.

Please join us Saturday, May 9th from 2-3:30 for the public unveiling of “A Persistent Crossing” by @stanzietooth for @thebentway Staging Grounds.

Stanzie Tooth’s A Persistent Crossing blurs boundaries between people, place, and the natural world 🌿 ⁠ ⁠ In this final installation at Bentway Staging Grounds, Tooth uses a series of large-scale images that wrap around the site’s scaffolding towers to create a threshold between built and natural worlds. Featuring imagery of large human silhouettes, shifting skies, and native Ontario vegetation, A Persistent Crossing encourages viewers to recognize that nature is not something separate from urban life, but part of its intricate ecological fabric. ⁠ ⁠ Want to hear from Stanzie and get a behind the scenes look at this installation? Join our Artist Talk & Neighourhood Walk on May 9th for a guided tour of both new CityPlace artworks, led by Bentway curators and the exhibiting artists!
