Matter of Fact
August 29, 2026 - September 25, 2026
Artspace Warehouse is pleased to present Matter of Fact, a group exhibition featuring Ivana Milosevic, Susan Gale, Mireia Serra, Courtney Simone, and Alessandro Siviglia. Matter of Fact unites artists whose work draws its subjects from life and finds its force through attention. Familiar scenes are granted the authority of image, their particularity held with quiet precision. Each artist brings this attention to a distinct visual language, grounding the everyday in a specific way of seeing.
Ivana Milosevic’s paintings hold public life at the edge of movement. Trained in architecture and urban planning, she builds compositions where the structure of a place remains central, even as atmosphere begins to loosen its edges. Milosevic treats the passing view as a constructed subject, giving temporary experience the discipline of composition. Her attention fixes on the conditions of a moment, allowing daily life to appear precise and fleeting at once.
Susan Gale’s paintings hold the city in a register of warmth and recollection. After studying painting at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Gale moved to Toronto in 2005, a city that has remained central to the visual language of her work. Sunlight shapes the emotional life of each composition, giving her streets a familiarity shaped by affection and memory. Recognition gives the paintings their point of entry, while Gale’s use of color and structure carries each scene into the feeling of a place remembered with care.
Mireia Serra’s sculptures bring attention to the scale of a single gesture. Her figures are often absorbed in small acts of concentration, with posture carrying the emotional weight of the scene. Working in bronze and iron, Serra gives these moments a quiet permanence, preserving the intimacy of reading, resting, or being alone with one’s thoughts. The everyday appears through the body, where a modest action can hold the full presence of an inner life.
Courtney Simone builds her figures through close recognition. A self-taught painter whose practice centers inclusive representations of women, Simone draws from day-to-day scenes and the stories people carry. Her paintings make character legible through small personal markers, allowing a gesture or chosen detail to suggest the private qualities that shape a person. Daily life becomes worthy of sustained attention in Simone’s compositions, where personal detail gives an everyday scene its story.
In Alessandro Siviglia’s work, everyday encounters carry a theatrical edge. His figures meet the viewer with blunt expression and graphic clarity, giving each scene the feeling of something already underway. Humor gives his observations their bite, allowing posture and attitude to carry the scene’s personality. Siviglia’s attention settles on the instant when social life becomes image, where a brief exchange can hold the full character of a scene.
