Selling Canada: New work by Christopher Rouleau
I am pleased to announce my solo exhibition, Selling Canada, will be taking place May 27—June 20, 2026 at The Red Head Gallery in Toronto. This exhibition features ten new large-scale paintings which were created during my three-month studio residency at Gladstone House. This is your opportunity to experience the entire collection, in person, at no cost.
From my artist statement:
Using nostalgic imagery and the tenets of Pop Art, this new collection of work invites viewers to reflect on a shared visual heritage, often encountered passively in grocery aisles, television commercials, and kitchen cupboards − and to consider how this identity is manufactured and mediated through design. Branding, advertising, and product design are not neutral artifacts, but powerful conveyors of meaning. The collection sparks a dialogue about how consumer design functions as a type of public language, and how national narratives are packaged and sold.
