Tom Thomson Art Gallery Exhibitions

A small exhibition showcasing highlights of the Gallery's Collection of Tom Thomson works.

Alan Glicksman’s work exemplifies what happens when a doodle jumps from the margins of mindless drivel into the product of a full-fledged artistic obsession. For over 40 years the artist has been dedicated to a practice of mark-making that has culminated in a prolific number of drawings, paintings and sculptures. What matters most to Glicksman is his process. When he creates he is able to navigate his way through life, and his work becomes an extension of his experiences. Individually each piece is like a journal entry. Together they form his autobiography.

The Process of Becoming is a mid-career survey of Glicksman’s work. It documents his ongoing fascination with mark-making through richly layered and bold graphic compositions that pulsate with frenetic energy. His images possess the same carefree expressiveness that we associate with children’s work, and are wrought with psychological tension.
