Ulysse Comtois

A true stunner.

Ulysse Comtois holds a very distinctive place in Canadian art. Closely connected to the Automatistes, he was deeply respected by his contemporaries, while continuing to move his own practice forward through colour, form, shape, and structure.

This work from the 1970s reflects a high point in Comtois’s production. It is one of the strongest examples we have seen on the market from this period — a moment when his paintings carried both the memory of landscape and the force of abstraction.

These works are not landscapes in the traditional sense, but they often hold that frequency: something atmospheric, rhythmic, and deeply felt as you spend time with them.

We welcome you to visit the gallery to experience works like this in person, and to let us share the stories and histories behind them. For collectors interested in the Automatistes and postwar Canadian abstraction, Comtois remains a deeply rewarding artist to look at closely.

As we congratulate our neighbours at Heliconian Hall on the 150th anniversary of its construction, we are pleased to present a selection of works by artists associated with the Toronto Heliconian Club.

The Club has long held an important place in the city’s artistic life, supporting women working across the arts and offering a space for exchange, exhibition, and cultural community.

Few things keep an artist’s history alive more meaningfully than continued relevance among collectors.

This selection brings together works by four Heliconian-associated artists currently available through Canadian Fine Arts.

📍Visit Canadian Fine Arts to view the works or contact the gallery directly for details.

Should there be a particular artist or work you are seeking that is not presently on display, we invite you to speak directly with Wil or Michel. We would be pleased to assist in guiding your search.

Here is a selection of works recently placed in private collections.
