Han Modern and Contemporary

Han Modern and Contemporary Han Modern and Contemporary specializes in modern and contemporary Canadian art.

Han Modern & Contemporary proudly specializes in Canadian art, with an analogous focus on European and Chinese modern and contemporary art movements. Following in the legacy of Han Art Gallery, which was initiated by the late art dealer and prominent artist Andrew Lui in 1995 and managed by Chloe Ng, we have been a team of reputable gallerists in Canadian and international art markets for over thr

ee decades. Throughout the years, this unique gallery has placed an emphasis on refined aesthetics and innovative daring, which both incorporate and exceed Canadian boundaries. Nestled by the picturesque Greene Avenue in Westmount, Han Modern & Contemporary especially promotes and celebrates the distinct individuality of a range of historical, mid-career, and emerging artists native to Canada, Europe and beyond. Many of our represented artists have been exhibited in established art institutions, and many have additionally had their work acquired by Canadian and international museum collections. At the heart of Han Modern & Contemporary’s numerous exhibitions, which unfold either in our own gallery space, other private galleries, fairs (Art Toronto, Palm Beach Modern and Contemporary, etc.), and art institutions, we curate acclaimed exhibitions that span the figurative and the conceptual. These exhibitions interweave fine art landscapes (such as Dorothy Knowles, Alex Cameron, Gregory Hardy, Graham Fowler), hyperrealism and realism (Luciano Ventrone, Tong Luo), Color Field artists (William Perehudoff, Paul Fournier), bold painterly, expressive abstractions (Kittie Bruneau, Andrew Lui), contemporary portraiture (Louis Boudreault) and ethereal bronze sculptures (Anne-Sophie Morelle).

Installation for Art Dealers Association of Canada 60th anniversary partner showcase🥳! We love seeing Dorothy Knowles and Catherine Perehudoff’s work beside each other. 💫

👀Two works from the same lineage of family, with Catherine being the daughter of Dorothy Knowles. Over 40 years apart these works exemplify beauty in art and aesthetics over decades of time - one from the past, and one from the present.

🖼 Dorothy and Catherine would spend time in the 80's and 90's painting en plein air together, capturing the landscape through painting. It's great to see their works standing alongside eachother now 😍!

📍If you're in Toronto you can see the full exhibition and catch panel talks from ADAC guests from June 11-14th, 2026, at Bau-Xi Gallery, 1384 Dufferin Street, Toronto.

is hosting their 60th anniversary exhibition for partner galleries, and we are thrilled to have some of our pieces featured in this showcase which is happening in downtown Toronto next week, from June 11th - 14th at Bau-Xi Gallery! 🎨 👀
For ADAC's Pop-Up Exhibition, HMC is excited to present works that trace the evolution of Canadian art from the 1960s to the present.
🌊 “Shoreline, Emma Lake” (1965) by Dorothy Knowles highlights one of Western Canada’s most celebrated landscape painters and references the famed Emma Lake Workshops, where her encounter with critic Clement Greenberg in 1962 would profoundly influence her career.
💫Louis Jaque’s “Le signe de midi” (1966) reflects the rise of a Québécois artist whose innovative abstract paintings helped bring international recognition to Canadian art during the 1960s.
🏔️Representing a contemporary generation, Catherine Perehudoff, daughter of Dorothy Knowles and William Perehudoff, carries forward a remarkable artistic legacy. Her painting “The River Running Through Fraser Canyon” (2007) offers a fresh and awe-provoking interpretation of the Canadian landscape inspired by the natural beauty of the West coast.
Will you be attending the show? 👀 Make sure to catch a glimpse of this ephemeral exhibition before the show closes on the 14th! ✨

✨ Extended Exhibition Dates! 🎉

We are pleased to extend the running dates of our current show, From Aurora Borealis to White silence. You now have until Saturday June 13th, 2026 to catch a glimpse of the 30 year retrospective on Louis Jaques work.

30 Years of Painting 👀
On view at HMC from Saturday May 9th, 2026 until Saturday June 13th, 2026 you can find 30 years worth of paintings by the Montreal-born artist Louis Jaque.

From Aurora Borealis to White Silence presents over ten previously unexhibited paintings by Louis Jaque, on view at the gallery for the first time. 💫

Spanning from the mid-1960s, when the artist gained national recognition, to the early 1990s, the exhibition traces an arc in Jaque’s career. Over these decades, his work evolved alongside his growing international presence, ultimately securing his place not only within Quebec’s art history, but within the broader language of abstract painting. 🎨
