About the work

A crushed and crumpled camera is rendered in stark black and white, its lenses dramatically exposed while the word LENS repeats in a golden circle of text that orbits the distorted form. The interplay of photographic subject and typographic repetition gives the piece a bold, graphic energy.

Will Gorliz (Canada).

Will Gorliz

Canada

Will Gorlitz, born in Buenos Aires in 1952, is a Canadian painter renowned for his representational works that intertwine personal experience with broader cultural themes. After immigrating to Canada at the age of six, he pursued art studies at the University of Manitoba and the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design, completing his BFA in 1977. Gorlitz has been a significant figure in the Canadian art scene since the early 1980s, with his work characterized by a painterly approach that emphasizes visual engagement and a critical dialogue with media technologies.

Throughout his career, Gorlitz has held numerous solo exhibitions at esteemed institutions, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art. His work is also part of several public collections, such as the Art Gallery of Ontario, Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, and the National Gallery of Canada. In 2010, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art in Toronto presented "Always Already," a solo exhibition showcasing his recent works.

In the art market, Gorlitz's paintings have been featured in multiple auctions, with realized prices ranging from $1,490 to $15,938 USD, the latter achieved at a Sotheby's Toronto auction in 2009. Beyond his artistic practice, Gorlitz has contributed to the academic community as a Professor in Studio Art at the University of Guelph, where he continues to reside and work.
