  • Summary

  • For years, the Toronto painter Gordon Shadrach has been making stunning oil portraits that investigate the way Black men are represented in society. But in his new exhibit, “the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing,” Gordon unpacks his cancer diagnosis and the year of isolation that followed it. He sits down with Tom Power to tell us how illness and recovery affected him and his art. You can check out a selection of Gordon’s paintings on our Instagram (@cbcq). If you’re interested in hearing more conversations with artists, take a listen to Tom’s interviews with Hangama Amiri, Wanda Koop or Geoff McFetridge.
