Peter Varley was a scenic, commercial, and architectural photographer, best remembered for his landscape images and the 1964 publication, Canada. With texts by Kildare Dobbs, the book traces natural nuances across the country, urban scenes, rural life, and the Canadian wilderness. Varley’s photographs illustrate a visual history of mid 20th century Canada and add valuable contributions to the limited history of Canadian photography.

Yossi Milow Gallery | May 14 – June 25, 2022

Shikeith envisions the quest for grace as an often violent process of disentangling and evolving, calling upon the experiences of queer Black men, who have had to make and remake their own rituals of spiritual nourishment. Included among the photographs in the show is Spirit In The Dark (2021), a black and white diptych portraying a subject dousing themself with liquid that falls from a blown-glass vessel in the shape of a human head. Each panel offers a different perspective of the same process as it unfolds, imbuing the act with a sense of movement and temporality. With two static images, the artist captures an instant that is in every sense dynamic – the transfer of water from one human vessel to another, the cleansing of a body bathed in darkness.
