Art Toronto is one of the most successful art fairs in North America and the Opening Night Preview is a not-to-be-missed event on Toronto’s cultural calendar.”
Opening Night Preview is tonight and the show will run until Monday. Tickets can be bought at the door in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (North Building, Exhibit Hall A & B 255 Front Street West), or with a $2 discount online at the Art Toronto website and the Ontario Art Gallery website.

Hello,
I wanted to thank all who came out on Thursday night to the opening reception at Navillus Gallery! I enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing old friends. To have a look at photos of opening night (and if you were there maybe see your photo too!), check out the album on the gallery’s facebook page.
The exhibition will be up until December 2nd, so please feel free to drop by the gallery to have a look at the two new series (swans and oil paintings), as well as the doe, king of speed and animal citizens series! The gallery did an amazing job condensing my descriptions onto the labels. If it interests you, I would be very happy to come in to talk more about the work and my process, inspirations and resources. Please e-mail the gallery or me to arrange it 🙂
The gallery hours are:
Tuesday-Saturday: 10:00AM to 6:00 PM
Number: +1 (416) 921-6467
E-mail: tsullivan@navillusgallery.com or mail@christielau.com
I also want to thank you for the flowers, encouraging messages and baked goods!

Hi hello! I wanted to post a little update on what I’ve been up to!
in progress!
I’ve been focusing on doing some research about animarllzzz (“Moral Lives of Animals” by Dale Peterson , “The Marvels of Animal Behaviour” by John Mcloughlin, BBC’s documentaries “Frozen Planet” and “Human Planet” and readings and visits about medieval art). I have also been busy experimenting with gold in combination with oil painting. Above is documentation of my progress, that is the third coat. I am looking forward to the depth and life that will be achieved after many more layers, like this copy I did in the Louvre:
"L'Enlevement de Psyche" by Pierre-Paul Prud'Hon copy from the Louvre
And so I have been busy making paint and mediums for a new body of work with recipes I learned when I studied abroad!
making medium and emulsion
I also participated in Take pART at Arta Gallery in the Distillery District last week and submitted a little oil on wooden panel of a princess parrot, an elusive birdie from Australia named in honour of Princess Alexandra of Denmark.
I’m very excited for the new body of work, stay tuned for details on where they will be showing! Thank-you for taking the time to visit my bloggie. I’ll have more stuff soooooooon!

Hi Guys, I am thrilled to be exhibiting at The Artist Project this March!
click for detail
Ignore the “Christine Lau” in the header, it’s really me! The Artist Project is organised by the same group as the One of a Kind Show and the Toronto International Art Fair. I went last year and thoroughly enjoyed the show. The artists were young, and if not young they were hip :). More details to follow, going back to work now!
